BEBS Barcelona Executive Business School

What BEBS Barcelona Executive Business School does

BEBS Barcelona Executive Business School is a private, founder-led business school established in 2015 in Barcelona, Spain by Karelys Ramirez Torres. The institution delivers MBA, Master's, and Postgraduate programs to working professionals, entrepreneurs, career changers, and international students, with a stated student body drawn from over 130 nationalities. Its program portfolio comprises six specialized MBAs (International Business Management & Innovation, Supply Chain and International Maritime Logistics, International Project Management, International Tourism and Hospitality Management, Leadership and Talent Management, and International e-Supply Chain Management), two Master's degrees (Operations Management and Logistics; Strategic HR and Change Management), and seven Postgraduate programs spanning leadership, project management, supply chain, tourism, business administration, and innovation.

The school is built on a dual-accreditation model: its programs carry recognition from Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM), Universidad Católica de Ávila (UCAV), and Blackwell Global University (a U.S. institution), supplemented by CUALIFICAM quality certification from the Madrimasd Knowledge Foundation. Delivery occurs through two modalities — a Moodle-based virtual campus (campus.bebs.org) integrating live streaming, recorded sessions, and interactive forums, and an on-campus experience at the Barcelona headquarters. A faculty of 50+ practicing business professionals and executives, rather than traditional academics, delivers the curriculum with an explicit 'learn by doing' methodology built on real case studies, company visits, and curricular internships.

BEBS generates revenue primarily through tuition fees ranging from €3,570 for a six-month Postgraduate to €7,140 for a ten-month on-campus MBA, with most programs priced between €4,500 and €6,600. A non-refundable €600 registration deposit is collected at enrollment, and an optional fee enables students to obtain an Official American MBA Degree through the Blackwell Global University partnership. Go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by a team of dedicated student advisors who respond within 24-48 hours, an academic committee that issues admissions decisions within three business days, and year-round rolling intakes. Distribution combines direct website enrollment, the Fundação Estudar partnership for Brazilian recruitment, multi-channel social media presence, and the AEEN and EUPHE federation memberships that embed BEBS within a broader European private higher-education network.
