Introduction to EU Business School’s Three Barcelona Campuses
Barcelona faces the Mediterranean and is a global innovation city where start‑ups and international companies gather. In the 2025 edition of the Global Startup Ecosystem Index, it ranked fifth in the EU and was highly rated across industries such as pharmaceuticals and video games . The city also offers beaches and landmarks like the Sagrada Família, creating an environment where study and leisure can co‑exist .
EU Business School (EU) is a private institution founded in 1973. With campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Munich and elsewhere, it provides business education in English. The school emphasises small classes and experiential learning through case studies and company visits, attracting students from more than 130 nationalities . At its Barcelona campus, programmes range from foundation courses to master’s and MBA degrees, and students can choose specialisations in management, marketing, finance, digital business or fashion and luxury .
The Three Campuses and Their Facilities
EU Business School Barcelona has three campus buildings in prime city locations: the historic Ganduxer building, the Diagonal campus opened in 2017, and the Upper Sarrià campus added in autumn 2024. Each has its own distinct character.
Ganduxer Campus
The Ganduxer campus is situated in the quiet La Bonanova area of the Sarrià‑Sant Gervasi district, near many consulates and financial institutions . Its classrooms are glass‑walled from floor to ceiling, filled with natural light . The entire campus is equipped with Wi‑Fi, and each classroom has interactive smartboards and high‑quality sound systems, making it suitable for digital materials and hybrid classes . A quiet courtyard and lounges offer spaces where students can work on projects or relax, and academic counsellors are available for individual consultations.
Diagonal Campus
The Diagonal campus was opened in 2017 on Barcelona’s main business boulevard, Avinguda Diagonal, to complement the Ganduxer building . It faces the large shopping centre L’illa, and numerous international companies’ offices line the surrounding area. With modern interiors, state‑of‑the‑art classrooms and group study spaces, the building provides a learning environment that closely resembles a business setting . The campus is well connected by metro and bus, serving as a base for networking events and company visits. Upper floors offer sweeping views of Diagonal Avenue and the city, and there are student lounges and terraces.
Upper Sarrià Campus
In autumn 2024 EU opened its third campus, Upper Sarrià, on Calle Osi. Built on a site of over 4,000 m² near Vila Amèlia Park in the Sarrià‑Sant Gervasi district and adjacent to the existing campuses , it consists of two buildings (four and six stories) connected by a large shared floor and was designed as an environmentally friendly, European‑style campus .
Inside are 26 classrooms, a 70‑seat auditorium, group study spaces, student lounges, a cafeteria, meeting rooms and digital spaces, supporting not only classes but also workshops, pitch contests and networking events . Four large outdoor terraces provide places to read, socialise or work on projects in the sun . Classrooms equipped with the latest interactive whiteboards and HD cameras enable hybrid instruction, and lounges feature table tennis and foosball . The campus accommodates around 900 students and represents an investment of more than €3 million .
With the opening of Upper Sarrià, EU Business School now offers more than 10,000 m² of educational facilities in Barcelona . Its design incorporates environmental considerations, using natural light and energy‑saving features.
The Value of Studying in Barcelona
At the Barcelona campus, students can pursue bachelor’s and master’s programmes in management, marketing, finance, digital business, fashion and luxury, as well as a variety of MBA specialisations ; all courses are taught in English. Small classes and a multicultural community foster cross‑cultural understanding and networking . Because Barcelona is home to many international companies and start‑ups, students gain practical experience through visits to the headquarters of Spanish firms such as Puig, Mango, Desigual and Inditex .
Conclusion
