Where can I go to business school in Europe?

Madrid may well be a quintessentially historic European capital, but it’s also one of Europe’s largest innovation hubs and leading business and financial centres.

Fast-paced modern life takes place here against a backdrop of stunning architecture, a characterful history, world-leading arts and culture venues, legendary cuisine, and two of the world’s most famous football teams – Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. No wonder the city has been a frequent feature in the QS Best Student Cities rankings since 2016.

As a thriving centre for business and commerce with a well-developed infrastructure and constant influx of investors and developers, Madrid now has one of the fastest growing economies in the EU. This makes the capital an exciting hub for graduate opportunities and business ventures in the capital – especially if you speak Spanish and have international experience.

Just like in Barcelona, studying in Madrid is an opportunity to immerse yourself in Spanish language and help your CV stand out amongst the competitive graduate job market.

Sitting quietly in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea just south of Sicily is Malta – a group of three islands made up of Malta Island, Gozo and Comino. 

You’d be forgiven for thinking this small country with a population of fewer than 500,000 is simply an ideal holiday destination – but there is much more to this collection of islands than just sun, sea and sand.

From the Blue Grotto sea caverns on the south-east coast of Malta Island to the Blue Lagoon on Comino and the Cittadella of Gozo; traditional picturesque harbour towns like Marsaxlokk to centuries-old archaeological sites such as the seven megalithic temples and the hypogeum which also happen to be listed as UNESO World Heritage Sites; Malta is packed full of hidden gems that offer a unique insight into the country’s fascinating history and charming culture.

Aside from its abundance of cultural and historical wonders, Malta also offers an excellent standard of education. With English an official language as well as Maltese, students from all over the world come to Malta to pursue a high-quality degree programme in English. 

Graduates are highly valued in Malta, and those who choose to stay or move here can benefit from tax breaks, fast-track visas, and free support to help start a new business. Add to this exciting career opportunities in emerging industries such as blockchain, AI and gaming, plus an affordable high-quality standard of living, and it’s no wonder more and more graduates and expats are making Malta their new home.
