While thinking of Europe might conjure images of Paris’ Eiffel Tower or Rome’s Coliseum, the continent has much more to offer than just its capital cities. Indeed, there are a number of accredited business schools offering full-time MBA programs in all corners of Europe, and many in places that you wouldn’t expect. Here’s a quick list.
