Anyone have any experience with the European Institute in Barcelona, the Valencia international school of business, or the Barcelona business school? I am very wary of applying to these schools and the websites for BBS and VIBS look very shady. Any alumni or people with more information?

For an MBA in Spain:

TIER 1: IESE, ESADE, IE
TIER 2: EADA, EAE, CARLOS III, POMPEU FABRA, EOI
TIER 3: others

I agree + There's no need to consider tier 3.

What about ESEC in Barcelona? I haven't heard anyone mention that school on here. But I saw it on the list of schools that are triple accredited: AMBA, Equis and AACSB.

It appears they offer a "master of international business" and not an "MBA" per se. But it must be pretty similar to an MBA if it has AMBA accrediation -- right?

Here is their Web site (translated from Spanish to English):

It is apparently a branch of the Toulouse business school in France. Here is the Toulouse Web site page about ESEC (in English):

Was just wondering if anyone had any perspective on it.. wondering if I should look into the program more.. the amount of information in English on the Web is limited..
