Barcelona Management Institute

New World. New MBA. New You.

Hobsons MBA - The Barcelona Management Institute's intensive and rigorous MBA training is unlike that of any other business school in the world.   

The Barcelona Management Institute's program is a full-time commitment lasting 12-months in duration. There are two intake periods - one in the fall and one in the winter - each year. 

The content of the program was specifically developed to help future managers excel within today's hyper-competitive international markets. Leading in the New World requires new skills, new approaches, and new perspectives. These concepts are the backbone of what we teach.  

The curriculum is delivered through a series of tightly refined modules that focus on major business concepts and skills-based workshops in leadership, negotiation, and project management. Spanish-language courses, external consulting projects, and required international travel also play a central role.  The MBA Program consists of 90 required ECTS credits. Modules provide 57 credits, Workshops 15, Consulting Project 10, Language and Culture 5, and the International Business Fieldtrip 3 ECTS credits.
