Overview

EADA is a privately funded Barcelona business school founded in 1957, with a campus in the city centre and a residential training centre outside it.¹ Its International Master in Management is accredited by EQUIS and AMBA — two of the three international crowns; EADA is an AACSB member rather than AACSB-accredited, so it is not a full triple-crown school.⁴ For a wider view of whether the credential fits your goals, see our guide on whether a MiM is worth it in 2026.

Curriculum & Structure

The programme is built around applied, team-based learning, with specialisation options spanning innovation and entrepreneurship, strategic consulting, business analytics and more.¹ Class sections are small and draw more than thirty nationalities, giving the cohort a strongly international character for a one-year format.

Application & Deadlines

EADA admits for an October start (ten months) and a January start (about nine months), assessed in monthly rounds rather than a single deadline.² No GMAT is required — applicants can use a GMAT, GMAT Focus, GRE, a CFA level, or EADA’s own admission test. International candidates should apply early for visa processing; see how to build a MiM profile.

Tuition & Funding

Tuition is €28,000 for the full-time programme, the same for all nationalities.² EADA runs an unusually broad merit-scholarship scheme — for excellence, entrepreneurship, women in STEM or finance, and others — covering between 10% and 35% of the fee for strong candidates, which can bring the net cost down materially.

Career Outcomes

EADA reports that 97% of participants secure a role within three months of finishing the programme, matching the Financial Times three-month employment figure; the FT weighted three-year salary is about US$79,757.³ ⁵ For early-career context, see our career learnings from a MiM.

Campus & Reputation

Barcelona is one of Europe’s most popular destinations for international master’s students, and EADA’s city-centre campus, EQUIS/AMBA accreditation and FT-top-40 placement make its International Master in Management a competitive option among Spanish business schools.⁴ For how a MiM compares with an MBA, see our piece on MiM versus MBA.
