EADA Business School is a private university foundation, an independent institution on an economic and ideological level. It was founded in Barcelona in 1957 by a group of entrepreneurs and professionals with the aim of providing training services to the business community.

EADA teaches MBA, EMBA and specialised Masters programmes. Its general management programmes are prominent in the field of Executive Education as well as its programmes designed for functional areas of the company, and the school also offers training targeted at different economic sectors.

From its very early days EADA has maintained permanent links with the corporate world via its associated companies collective, by offering customised training through its EADA Corporate department, and through the participation of frontline professionals as speakers at conferences, seminars and forums.

With the objective of providing the most appropriate training, the school has opted for a faculty with expertise, close to corporate reality, as well as for a wide range of teaching formats which includes the residential training centre that EADA runs in the municipality of Collbató (40 km from Barcelona). The centre constitutes a perfect combination between hotel accommodation located in unbeatable natural surroundings, and installations more suited to carrying out outdoor training activities, as well as conference rooms, and all the essential facilities for a wide range of training activities.
EADA opens out towards the world via its relations with international institutions and the activities of its R&D&I Department, and the Office of Academic Affairs promotes collaborations from visiting professors.

EADA intends to be a flagship that accompanies people in their career development. The EADA Careers Department as well as the Entrepreneurship Centre bear testimony to this vocation and aim to facilitate entry into the corporate world for participants on the school’s programmes through job placement, or by setting up start-ups incubated both inside and outside the classroom. EADAAlumni constitutes a meeting hub for networking and continuous growth for these professionals regularly offering them refresher programmes and seminars.
