School Profiles
As one of the world´s top business schools, European University (EU) is internationally accredited and recognized for the excellence of its students and faculty.
Established in 1973, EU has developed a business education that delivers high-quality teaching, a competitive learning environment and a network of campuses in different countries. This broad network encourages students to participate in inter-campus exchanges in the following countries: Spain, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Austria, Kazakhstan, Syria, Taiwan, China, Malaysia and Singapore.
EU offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with 10 different management specialties: International Business, Communication & Public Relations, International Marketing, Global Banking & Finance, Leisure & Tourism Management, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, EBusiness, Sports Management and Human Resources Management.
EU brings the American education model to Europe by relating classroom theory to professional skills. The courses are taught in English using the case study method to prevent business theory from remaining abstract and incomprehensible. EU’s pragmatic approach to business education is proven to effectively prepare students for leadership positions in business and industry. EU internationalizes its programs by providing a unique learning environment; an international perspective is guaranteed by the composition of the faculty and student body.
EU provides an education that is student-oriented, flexible and personal. All courses are taught by qualified faculty members with a wealth of practical experience in their fields. EU faculty works with students on an individual basis to create a cooperative and caring learning environment where human values flourish.
Furthermore, EU’s curricula aim at educating the individual in the sound ethics which underpin the EU philosophy: hard work, responsibility, leadership, honesty and self-reliance. Running a business in an honest manner is not an option, but the only way to compete in today’s demanding world. In this sense, EU students are taught to approach managerial decision-making with critical awareness of each alternative and to make decisions based on these values.
There are five different ways to study for an MBA depending on the needs of the individual:
Full-time MBA
The full-time MBA program at European University is a 1-year program divided into 3 academic terms of 10 weeks each. This enables participants undertaking internships or those pursuing their careers full- or part-time to attend class without interruption.
Part-time MBA
This 2-year program follows the same curriculum as the full-time MBA, but coursework is completed over 6 terms of 10 weeks each, with students attending 2−3 courses per term. Candidates can enroll for EU’s part-time MBA in October, January and March.
Dual MBA
This program is offered in collaboration with Nichols College, USA. The Dual MBA presents the opportunity to earn 2 MBA degrees in as little as 1 year: complete 5 MBA courses with European University and a further 10 with Nichols College in the United States on-site or via distance learning. This program starts in October, January and March.
Executive MBA
The EU Executive MBA is designed for energetic executives who seek a versatile and challenging MBA experience to enhance their global competitiveness. Applicants should possess a Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 5 years’ managerial experience.
Cross MBA
The Cross MBA is offered in collaboration with US partner Nichols College, offering in one program both European and American graduate degrees. The Cross MBA curriculum covers all main functional areas of business and consists of 15 courses, 10 of which are provided by Nichols College faculty flying in to Europe and 5 by EU Europe and Asia faculty. Furthermore participants can start the Cross MBA program any month.
