Business Degrees in Europe: Management, Finance and MBA Options
A business degree opens doors in almost every industry, and Europe offers everything from world-famous MBAs to affordable bachelor's degrees taught entirely in English. Here is how the options compare.
Europe's elite business schools
Schools such as INSEAD (France), London Business School (UK), HEC Paris, IE Business School and ESADE (Spain) and Bocconi (Italy) lead the international rankings. Their MBAs usually require several years of management experience, a GMAT or GRE score and tuition well above €50,000. In Poland, Kozminski University holds the "triple crown" of business school accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA).

Why study business in Poland?
Poland is one of the fastest-growing economies in the EU and a major centre for finance, logistics and shared-services companies, many of which hire English-speaking graduates. Full-time students with a residence permit can generally work part-time without a separate work permit, which helps build experience while you study.
