Barcelona, Spain

WHY STUDY IN BARCELONA?
A thriving metropolis located along the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is one of Europe’s true gems. The city features a beautiful Mediterranean climate, a vibrant business environment, a reputation for some of Spain’s best food, and an “old city” charm complete with iconic Gaudi architecture at seemingly every turn. This student-friendly city is proudly and staunchly Catalunyan, providing insight into the culture and politics of one of Spain’s most intriguing regions.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Considering a career in finance, project management, or digital marketing? Gain an edge with our power-packed semester in Barcelona, the international business hub that’s home to nearly 10,000 multinational companies and the EU’s #2 magnet for start-ups.

Skills that matter in a global economy
Designed with select U.S. universities, this program includes hands-on learning through internships, challenge projects, company visits, and networking events, ensuring you’ll gain the combination of conceptual knowledge and practice employers want. See how big pharma works. Go behind the scenes of sustainable auto tech. Learn how professional football clubs reach new fans.

Quality academics
Build key professional skills with our core class. Add the IFSA business classes that fit your needs taught by Barcelona professors at our Barcelona Program Center. You can also enroll in one class at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), one of Spain’s most prestigious universities, for an extra fee.

All the while, live in a city known for age-old traditions, architectural gems, influential movements (hello, Modernisme), and tapas culture. With support from the knowledgeable IFSA team, these experiences help you learn to connect and communicate with people from different backgrounds.
