Students are trained with a global, integrated and strategic vision of any company. How is this achieved? As mentioned above, the key element of this programme is that the lecturers are working professionals with years of experience as project managers. The classes are not just about the theoretical framework, but how it is applied in today's business scenario. The professors teach through their own learning and experiences. Sharing that reality with students to give them a much more realistic picture of what they will encounter once they finish the programme and start the next phase of their professional careers. Each module of the BEBS Postgraduate in Project Management has a case study. The lecturers bring to the classroom real examples of situations faced by companies today. After learning about the context, students are challenged to find a solution to these dilemmas and share it with the rest of their classmates. What better way to learn how to act at crucial moments than to actually do it? This practical mindset is one of the core values of BEBS and will prepare you to face any challenge. Open yourself to the international scene BEBS is a business school proud of its diversity. Throughout our history, students from over 120 different countries have chosen to study with us, either on campus or online.

People, equipment, resources, physical spaces, etc. At the end of this course, students will be able to perfectly manage this basic chain. As a project manager, you will also have to acquire your own working method. That is why the last module of this postgraduate course is 'Project Management Tools and Techniques'. If you haven't heard of techniques such as Agile or Scrum, you will learn about them here.

If you have decided to continue your studies with one of the onsite programs we offer at BEBS, then coming to live in Barcelona will provide an exciting challenge for you in coming months. 10 advantages of living in Barcelona Are you ready to discover the capital of Catalonia? Do you know what to expect? Here are some of the many advantages of living in Barcelona: Its wide variety of monuments The Sagrada Familia is the best known, but it's far from the only monument you won't want to miss during your stay here. The cathedral, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are some of the must-sees on any list, which should also feature outdoor spaces such as Parc Güell and Parc de la Ciutadella. Your options are many and varied, all you have to do is choose the ones that best suit your preferences. Its mass transit network Barcelona has a train, metro and bus network that will make your daily life much easier. The bus and metro, which is open on Saturday night, will easily let you go anywhere in the city. Meanwhile, the train is a great option if you want to visit other towns. Sitges, Castelldefels, El Masnou and Vilanova i la Geltrú are some of the beach towns that you may want to visit during the summer. Its sidewalk terraces Barcelona has a wide variety of sidewalk terraces for all tastes, where you can enjoy a vermouth, very typical in the city, or eat something on a summer evening. They will undoubtedly provide a place to meet up with friends in the spring and summer, and even on some sunny Sundays during the rest of the year. Its cultural offerings Museums, theaters, cinemas... We would be remiss not to mention Barcelona's extensive cultural offerings among the city's attractions. If you want to discover the city's history, if you feel like spending the morning in an art gallery, or if you'd rather go to a concert before or after dinner, you'll find options that suit your every need. Its free museums the first Sunday of the month While we're on the subject, did you know that some museums in Barcelona have free admission on the first Sunday of every month? They include the Picasso Museum, the Barcelona Maritime Museum and the Montjuïc Castle, but there are others. Check the times so you don't miss out on this monthly freebie. Its neighborhood festivals You may have heard of the Gracia festival and its decorated streets, but the truth is that every neighborhood in Barcelona has its own street fair. Don't miss out on their activities, since these events will introduce you to various areas of the city and their traditions. It's a different way of getting to know Barcelona, don't you think? Its great variety of events Every year, Barcelona hosts a wide range of different events, including the Mobile World Congress, multiple music festivals, such as Primavera Sound, and food fairs that fill the streets. We recommend you stay informed about all the options available, especially in spring and summer. Cycling to get around the city If you want to forget about the buses and metro, or simply want to cut down on travel time, Bicing is an excellent option that will let you travel by bike whenever you need to. The views from Turó de la Rovira If you want to take in a panoramic view of the city, Turó de la Rovira is one visit you can't pass up. If you also like history, you have one more reason to come to Turó de la Rovira, where you will find the remains of an air defense battery that was built during the Civil War. Its diverse cuisine To round out this list, we have to mention the diversity of cuisine you will find in Barcelona, ranging from wineries in which to sip your vermouth, to restaurants with typical or international cuisine. However, our advice is to avoid the most touristy areas, where the restaurants are usually more expensive and offer worse quality, and to check the reviews on Google before choosing a place. If you are ready to come to Barcelona, all that's left to do is to choose one of the Master's, postgraduate courses or MBA we have to offer at BEBS. Explore all the options in the Programs section.

When you decide to do a master's degree, postgraduate course or MBA, like the ones you will find at the Barcelona Executive Business School (BEBS), time management becomes an invaluable resource for achieving your academic and professional goals. The importance of time management To take your career to the next level, you have to face several challenges, and doing so requires understanding the importance of managing your time properly. Balance and efficiency If you're not keeping track, balancing your academic or professional requirements and your personal life can be complicated. Using every minute well becomes an essential skill to make the most of this unique experience. Main advantages of managing your time well When you learn to structure your day properly, you will realize what you're achieving: - You're more productive: Efficient time management will let you be more productive and complete your tasks faster, which will give you more free time. - You have less stress: By avoiding procrastination and last-minute emergencies, you will reduce stress and strike a healthy balance between work/study and personal life. - Good academic performance: Organizing your time will help you achieve better academic results and make the most of your BEBS experience. Tips for effective time management If you stick to a plan, you will see that managing your time is not too demanding or complicated. And doing so makes your life easier. Nine crucial points you need to keep in mind Follow these tips to manage your day better: Set clear goals: Before starting, define your academic and professional goals. Having a clear purpose will give you the direction you need to manage your time effectively. Planning and prioritizing: Use tools such as agendas and task management apps to plan your daily activities and assign priorities. Make sure you balance your academic activities with time for leisure and to thoroughly explore Barcelona. Don't procrastinate: Procrastination is your enemy if you want to manage your time well. Divide tasks into smaller steps and start with the easiest ones to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Use the Pomodoro technique: This technique is based on working in time blocks (for example, 25 minutes) followed by a brief rest that will help you stay focused and increase your productivity. Learn to collaborate and delegate: Don't be afraid to delegate tasks whenever possible, whether in academic group projects or at work. Delegating will allow you to focus on what really matters. Set time limits: Assign a time limit to each task and stick to it. This way you will avoid spending too much time on a single task, letting you keep a steady work pace. Find your rhythm: Identify when you're most productive and schedule your most important tasks during those periods. This way you can make the most of your hours of maximum energy and concentration. Don't neglect your well-being: Efficient time management doesn't mean you should sacrifice your well-being. Make sure you sleep long enough, exercise and eat a healthy diet. Be flexible: Although planning is crucial, since you can't control the unexpected, it's important to be flexible and ready to adjust your schedule to changing circumstances. Work-life balance, are you there? Work-life balance is a modern paradigm that involves productivity at work with personal commitments, and whose aim is to allow people to strike a satisfactory balance between their careers and personal lives. Ideally, you should be able to have some flexibility at work with remote working options and customized policies. However, it's a simple fact that without effective time management, the work-life balance can turn into an insurmountable challenge. If you want to organize your time more efficiently, studying remotely will help you achieve it. Why not check out our online degrees?

Now at the cutting edge of business, artificial intelligence is already redefining key operations and transforming how companies operate, make decisions, and offer products or services. At BEBS, we recognize the vital role played by AI in the business world and advocate for training professionals for this constantly changing environment with our masters, postgraduate, and MBA degrees in Barcelona. Corporate innovation: the transformational impact of artificial intelligence on the working world Studies have been conducted revealing that over half of companies have implemented AI tools in their departments, and it is estimated that up to 40% of working hours could be altered by models such as ChatGPT. However, far from replacing human capital, artificial intelligence in business can alleviate the burden of repetitive tasks by allowing employees and companies to work more strategically. Versatility in business solutions Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing business operations in every industry. Depending on the tasks being automated, there is a variety of tools tailored to different functions and areas of business. From chatbots for customer service and candidate monitoring systems for hiring processes, to payroll platforms to manage accounting, the range of options is broad and specific for every business need. AI offers priceless advantages in different departments thanks to its multiple applications and capabilities: from marketing to human resources, from sales and customer service to cybersecurity, and even the legal and accounting and finance departments can see their effectiveness increased with the intelligent integration of AI. Trends in artificial intelligence Cutting-edge technologies such as generative artificial intelligence, natural language processing and machine learning are leaving a distinctive mark. These tools are not only setting the tone, they are radically transforming how companies interact with their audiences and develop marketing strategies. Generative AI, since it is driven by advanced models, not only replicates existing patterns, it also creates original content autonomously. This capacity is redefining creativity in advertising campaigns and content strategies, opening up new frontiers for innovation. Natural language processing, on the other hand, is enabling digital platforms to understand and respond to human language in ways that are more contextual and meaningful. From interactive chatbots to sentiment analysis on social media, this technology expands the possibilities of effective and personalized communication. Automatic learning, with its ability to analyze large data sets and continuously adapt, enhances real-time strategic decision-making. In marketing, this translates into more efficient and targeted campaigns, backed by accurate and constantly updated insights. These technology trends also provide strategic opportunities for digital marketing professionals. Adopting and leveraging these tools not only means staying at the forefront, but also opening the doors to an unprecedented level of customization and efficiency in connecting with audiences. In this constantly evolving digital environment, the ability to embrace and apply these trends is more than an advantage: it's a need for those looking to stand out in the competitive world of marketing. Applications of Artificial Intelligence in business From the revolutionary automation of processes to predictive analysis and the in-depth personalization of the customer experience, artificial intelligence applied to business is strategically redefining the corporate landscape, freeing up resources and boosting growth in a constantly changing digital world. Process automation Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the automation of routine tasks such as reviewing emails, entering data and generating reports, freeing up time and resources. From inventory management to customer service, AI optimizes operational processes, reducing the risk of human error, saving time and releasing teams from tedious manual tasks. This strategic approach allows professionals to devote more time to activities that are fundamental to business growth, while enhancing their motivation. Predictive analysis By using advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence analyzes large datasets to anticipate future trends and behaviors. Predictive analysis provides an essential advantage for making informed decisions, as it allows companies to anticipate market changes and adapt proactively. Personalizing the customer experience AI makes it possible to create personalized experiences for customers by analyzing their behaviors and preferences. From product recommendations to specific content, this personalization reinforces the connection between brand and consumer. Let's see how it does this: Deep analysis: Using advanced algorithms, AI thoroughly scrutinizes the customer's behaviors and preferences. From web browsing patterns to social media interactions, each piece is crucial to the puzzle and to understanding the consumer as a whole. Targeted recommendations: Personalization goes beyond the use of names in emails. AI generates highly targeted product recommendations based on real-time data analysis. This strategy not only increases conversion rates, it also strengthens the brand's perception as a reliable advisor. Relevant and appropriate content: AI makes it possible to deliver specific content at the right time. From exclusive offers to relevant content based on the customer's life cycle, this strategy ensures that each interaction is significant and non-intrusive. Strengthening the brand-consumer connection: Personalization isn't just about transactions, but rather about building an emotional connection. AI makes it easy to anticipate a customer's needs, creating an experience that goes beyond mere shopping. A brand that shows that it understands and responds to individual preferences builds customer loyalty in the long term. The personalization driven by artificial intelligence adapts the message to the real audience, while redefining how brands interact with consumers. As a result, digital marketing strategies that incorporate these capabilities offer a personalized service, while also establishing a solid foundation for customer loyalty in an increasingly competitive digital world. Chatbots and virtual assistants In the digital era, chatbots and virtual assistants, powered by artificial intelligence, have emerged as fundamental tools to foster customer-business interactions. These applications have multiple benefits: Uninterrupted service: Artificial intelligence chatbots are tireless providers of customer service, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This constant availability not only responds to the demands of a global business world, it also reflects an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction around the clock. Improved efficiency: Efficiency is the key to success in a competitive business environment. These chatbots offer instant answers, and they do so while eliminating the risk of human error. They also speed up response times, which contributes to a more streamlined and hassle-free customer experience. High customer satisfaction: Improved efficiency isn't just a goal; it's a means of boosting customer satisfaction. By providing fast and accurate answers, chatbots not only meet expectations, they also overcome traditional customer service barriers, creating a stronger and more satisfying connection between the company and its audience. Driving business success: In the dynamics of digital marketing, the strategic implementation of chatbots and virtual assistants based on artificial intelligence addresses current demands, and is a key investment to drive business success. These tools not only save time and resources, they also boost operational efficiency and ultimately strengthen the company's competitive position in the global market. Strategies for successfully integrating artificial intelligence. Developing an effective strategy for integrating artificial intelligence into business is key to corporate success. From evaluating specific needs to ensuring staff training, these strategies are essential to optimizing performance and guaranteeing long-term success: Needs assessment Before implementing AI, it is crucial to assess the specific needs of the company and select the solutions that best align with its goals and processes. Staff training Providing adequate training to personnel is essential to fully leveraging artificial intelligence tools, ensuring they are properly used and implemented. Constant monitoring and improvement Constantly monitoring AI applications allows weak points to be identified and strategies to be adjusted as needed, ensuring optimum performance over time. The application of Artificial Intelligence in business has only just begun. Find out how this revolution is integrated into our academic programs and explore how you can contribute to positive change while furthering your education.

When choosing a master’s program, it’s common to come across two types of degrees in Spain and across Europe: official master’s degrees and private (also known as university-specific or proprietary) master’s degrees. Both can offer high-quality education, but they serve different purposes, follow distinct accreditation processes, and come with different advantages. In this article, we’ll explain the key differences to help you make an informed decision. 1. What is an Official Master's Degree? An official master's degree is a program recognized by the Ministry of Education of the country where it is offered (in Spain, it’s the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities). It is aligned with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and meets the criteria of the Bologna Process, which ensures its automatic recognition in all EHEA countries. Key characteristics: Recognized throughout Europe. Grants access to doctoral studies. Valid for public sector job applications and official exams. Accredited by official agencies such as ANECA (in Spain). 2. What is a Private (University-Specific) Master's Degree? A private master's degree is a program designed by a university or business school to address specific labor market needs. Although it is not accredited by the Ministry, it is endorsed by the institution that delivers it. These programs tend to have a more practical focus, with updated content that reflects the real needs of the business world. Key characteristics: Focused on employability and business needs. More flexible and innovative in format and content. Does not directly grant access to a PhD program (although some may be validated). Issued by the university or educational institution itself. 3. Which One is Right for Me? It depends on your goals: Do you want to work in the public sector, pursue a PhD, or need a degree recognized throughout the EHEA? Then an official master’s degree is the right choice. Are you looking to enhance your professional profile, gain practical skills, or advance quickly in your career? A private master’s degree may be more suitable, especially if you value a strong connection with the job market. 4. What Does BEBS Offer? At BEBS, we combine high-quality education with a practical, market-oriented approach. Our programs offer dual certification: a private master’s degree issued by BEBS and the option to obtain an official degree endorsed by European universities such as the Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM), the Catholic University of Ávila (UCAV), or Blackwell Global University. If a student wishes to obtain the official degree, they must: Validate their studies with the corresponding university. Complete three additional subjects. Pay an academic fee of €1,900. There is no one-size-fits-all answer — the best choice depends on your personal and professional goals. What matters most is selecting a program that aligns with your career plan, provides real value, and is backed by a reputable institution. Not sure which type of master’s degree is right for you?

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, 8th of March, BEBS wants to congratulate all women around the world for their contribution to society and support the efforts in favour of equality. And to celebrate this special day, we have interviewed Karelys Ramirez, the school’s Founder and General Director. We have talked with her to learn about the reasons that made her take the decision of becoming an entrepreneur, or the obstacles that were put in front of her because of being a woman in such a male-dominated field such as business. Read the entire interview below. Tell us briefly about your story. Who is Karelys Ramirez? How did you become an entrepreneur? Karelys Ramirez is an optimist, honest and happy person that likes to travel, establish relations with different people and learn. Someone that doesn’t judge anyone and discovered when she was 30 that wanted to be an entrepreneur. I studied Business at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and did a Master’s in Finances at UAB as well. I worked for five years in the Master’s Program, Marketing, Commerce and Distribution of UAB as Deputy Director of University Wellbeing and Operations. But even though my work at UAB was good and stable, I needed to do something more. And I realized that what I wanted was to be an entrepreneur, so I decided to do it. And now we are here, after having founded Barcelona Executive Business School almost seven years ago. When and how did you decide to create your own Business School? I was still a UAB employee when I decided to create BEBS. I started working on the project while I was working there because I could not leave my job. When I was ready, I left to start my own entrepreneurship adventure. Being very aware that I could be successful, but also knowing that things could go wrong, I decided that I was ready for it. How would you describe your working method to direct a company? I think that you need to be happy at work because in the end, it’s your second home. You just need to count how many hours a day we spend working. That is the reason why I like to give my team flexibility responsibly, I appreciate multiculturalism as something enriching, and I encourage teamwork and mutual trust. Which are the biggest challenges that you have had to deal with because of being a woman entrepreneur? I would not call them challenges but curiosities, as I have never been stopped, but I have to admit that there is a lot of sexism in the world of entrepreneurship. This field is advancing, but we still have a lot of work to be done. For instance, when they see a woman like me, the first thought of many people is that someone has built a business for us. They never think that we can be founders and that we have the ability to build a business “alone”. Even though I say “alone”, I have always tried to be surrounded by good people and listen to the advice of those who have believed in me and appreciate me. I have accepted the help of everyone that has offered me their help. And without all those people, I would not have gotten where I am now. In the end, being undervalued just because you are a woman is the first barrier or challenge that you need to overcome to be successful in the world of entrepreneurship. How have you dealt with those challenges? I have dealt with them with optimism and sportsmanship because on many occasions I have taken advantage of being undervalued to get information and then make the right choices. For instance, men used to tell me to speak to my boss about business ideas because they did not believe that I was the owner of the school. In the end, those people were giving me more information than they should, so I got an advantage to decide. Most managers at BEBS are women. And there are more women than men working in the school. How do you think that differentiates BEBS from other businesses? I believe in talent. I do not think if that talent comes from a man or a woman. But the truth is that BEBS, by having so many women managing, is a school with different values. Like the humanist approach to business or the importance of collaborative work to obtain results. Which people -or women- have inspired you during your journey making BEBS grow? I have not had one unique role model, but I have been inspired by a lot of people around me. Men and women that for me have been examples both of good and bad situations. I am not someone that uses every piece of advice I am given, but I usually take something from them. Always adjusting that advice to my principles, values, and ways to see the world. How did you envision BEBS during the first steps of the school? Are you proud of what BEBS is now? I have always been imagining BEBS as it grew because I have taken every step at a time, even stopping everything when needed. But I am really proud of what BEBS is today and the people that work and collaborate at the school. I am proud of how we are managing the school and the values that we are sharing internally with our team and externally with our students and professors. How do you want BEBS to influence women to feel empowered in the business world? The fact that in BEBS most of the managers are women is a coincidence that has happened by choosing talent over anything else. But since this is the situation we are in, I’d love for BEBS to be an example of a leader school led by businesswomen. And not only that, it is a group of women that are, in most cases, moms that are efficient with their personal and professional life at the same time. Because who says that it is incompatible to be a woman, mother, director, and entrepreneur? What advice would you give to women who are aspiring entrepreneurs? I encourage every woman that wants to be an entrepreneur to do it because we do not have limits. Limits are a lot of times created by ourselves, because of the way society works, perpetuating an old way of thinking. Everything can be done, it is a hard road, but a gratifying one.
