WHAT EU GRADUATES SAY


A truly international experience

Gerard McKeogh from Ireland / BBA Program At EU I found intellectually stimulating discussions, classmates from various compelling backgrounds, networking opportunities and, most importantly, relevant, up-to-date courses that bridge business theory with practises.

Antonella Merello from Argentina / BBA Program I applied to EU 3 years ago because of its excellent reputation, extensive network of campuses worldwide and truly international student environment. Now I can say that EU not only met my expectations, it even surpassed them. I feel I made the right choice and I can recommend it to anyone. Bertrand Morisod from Switzerland / BBA Program I was looking for a business school that combined a high-quality modern curriculum and teaching faculty with an international study environment. I recognized that the EU campus transfer program is a vital component to enhance understanding of international business, and I took full advantage of this one-of-a-kind opportunity. Nando von Auersperg from Austria / BA Program At EU I learned how to efficiently work in a team made up of people from different cultural backgrounds, countries and professions.

Eva Bozilovich from Serbia / BA Program European University proved the right choice for me as it has given me not only a firm grounding in business practise but an excellent understanding of business ethics and values. I find that I have benefitted enormously from the small, personalized classes that allow engaging discussions and close interaction with faculty.

Lu Liu from China / BBA Program EU was the most important decision Ive made in my life. It changed me completely as a person and it practically moulded my personality as a professional. After only 3 years at EU, I feel fully capable of joining a company and making a difference there.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY
EU was one of the first private universities to implement the 3-year program required in the European Union by the Treaty of Bologna. As a result, our students have the opportunity to join a company with a Bachelors degree only 3 years after leaving high school. The rigorous academic training our students undergo allows them to immediately enter our 3-term/1-year MBA program. As a result, EU students can obtain both their Bachelor and MBA degrees in only 4 years.

> The first-year courses lay the theoretical and practical foundations for the study of business. They focus on developing a broad understanding of the functional business areas of marketing, accounting, finance, information technologies and management as well as sound communication skills. These courses are identical for all majors which allows students to make a more informed choice of major at the beginning of the second year. Upon successful completion of the required courses, students obtain a Diploma in Business. >

EBBA - EXECUTIVE BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EU offers a fast-track Executive BBA. Complete the program in 1 year! For working professionals without a bachelor degree.
CH-Credit Hours

ECTS-European Credit Transfer System

The Executive Bachelor of Business Administration (EBBA) is a 1-year, 2-semester intensive program designed for working professionals in middle or senior management positions and with 5 or more years of work experience. The underlying objective of the program is to equip professionals with theoretical and conceptual knowledge to strengthen their extensive work experience and to prepare them for graduate studies. The EBBA program can be considered a stepping stone to the Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA). The EBBA program recognizes the fact that professional candidates already have significant knowledge and are familiar with many of the most important aspects of business through their practical experience. Therefore, the EBBA program omits those courses which are not applicable after years of managerial experience. The EBBA program consists of 2 semesters of 13 weeks each. Classes take place during the day and a 2-year, 4-semester option is also available.

Grade Point Average (GPA) The students academic standing is indicated by a grade point average determined by dividing the total number of credit points earned by the total number of credit hours of the academic program undertaken. Delta Mu Delta Membership The prestigious international honor society Delta Mu Delta acknowledges exceptional students in the field of business. Membership represents the highest recognition a business student can earn. Charted by Delta Mu Delta, European University provides its students with the opportunity to attain membership.
