EADA is an economically and intellectually independent institution, founded in 1957 by a group of business owners and professionals to provide training services to the corporate community.
It develops MBA programmes, Specialised Masters, General Management Programmes, English Programmes, Programmes for the functional areas of the company and also for the sector areas of Health Management, Pharmaceutical Industry and Tourist Companies.

Since its foundation EADA has had permanent ties with the corporate world via the group of Associated Companies, offering tailored training from its In-Company Programme Department or inviting eminent professionals as speakers to its conferences, seminars, and forums.

EADA's concern for providing the right training includes lecturers with first-hand experience of the real business situation and an educational offer that includes the Residential Training Centre in the Collbató municipality (40 km from Barcelona). This Residential Training Centre offers a hotel set in an idyllic environment and ideal facilities for outdoor training activities. It has meeting rooms, a library, and all the infrastructure necessary for any training activity.

EADA opens its doors to the world via its relations with international institutions, the activities of its R&D&I Department, and the collaboration of visiting lecturers encouraged by the Academic Management.

EADA wants to be a benchmark for people throughout the course of their professional career. This vocation is mirrored in the Specialised Masters and the International Master that help young people enter the corporate world with the support of the Professional Career Department. These professionals will find a meeting point for development in the Ex-Alumni Club, EADA-Club, and a constant support for their corporate development in the other EADA services.
