Student Life

BEBS places much importance to learnign by practice, which is why we encourage our students to undertake an internship during their studies. There are a number of ways we provide support, but mostly, we place the offers received by companies on our virtual campus where the students can access the offers directly and apply.

Keeping the managerial and entrepreneurial spirit alive, we constantly encourage our students to treat their internships as their job, starting from application, interviews to undertaking their tasks.

Coaching classes

At the start of the master’s program in Barcelona, the students are given a coaching class, during which they learn about the local work culture, platforms for finding jobs and internships, interviews and other aspects of employment in Spain. The non-EU students are given extra guidance about their legal rights.

Regarding employment, European students are free in the labour market and may choose to work or do an internship. As for non-EU students, due to not having a work permit, only part time internship contracts are permitted, with the nature of their work being exclusively limited to internships, rather than labour.

Note: For non-EU students, internship contracts are offered only for master’s programs. Considering the bureaucratic matters, shorter term programs make it impossible to allow the time necessary for finding and undertaking an internship.

Our students have already carried out internships at the following companies:

If you reside in Spain, you are employed and your employer has paid tax for you, you may apply for studying at BEBS, paid by your employer through your taxes. The amount available depends on the duration you have worked and the amount of points accumulated within the tax system.

Please, advise with your HR department to learn more about your specific points available, which you can use for your training.

Any of our courses qualify for the allowance.

BEBS works with the Institute of Training Allowance (Organizing body recognized by FUNDAE, it deals with all the necessary procedures, technical and administrative that entails the use of credit to reward the training actions promoted by companies for their workers).

What is training allowance?

The companies have a “training credit for their workers”, which they can use through discounts in Social Security contributions. Allowance education is not subsidized.

Regardless of the size, activity or location, any company can choose which training they want to undertake, in what place, topic and with whom they want to do it, as long as the training actions are related to the activity of the company.

I ´m a company, what training can I take?

BEBS has a wide range of fully redeemable training programs through the State Foundation for Training in Employment (Fundae).

Our programs have university accreditation and cover the needs of the main areas of knowledge in demand in the market and are aimed to improve the performance and productivity of workers.

Who is teaching this training?

We have highly qualified teachers who will adapt the content to the specific characteristics of your company.

Are there online training options?

We offer online training, redeemable through our e-learning platform, so you can manage your time and combine your personal and work life.

Online learning

Through our virtual campus BEBS students have access to our main and up to date general guidelines, academic material and grades. The platform allows our students to have at their disposal a wide range of resources, as well as great communication tools, to constantly be in touch with their classmates and professors, which turns a virtual experience into a genuine exchange of knowledge.

The structure of the online programs

Each module consists of three parts: Interactive Forum, Case Study and Quiz
The interactive forum is the virtual classroom where discussions and analysis happen, creating and sharing knowledge between the professors and other students. The students are required to do research for the specific topics that are provided by the professor and contribute with their participation.

Next, the case study analysis enables the students to study specific topics in depth and provide their own analysis. Finally, the modules are concluded with a quiz, which tests how well the students have studied the study materials provided by the professors during the module.

The platform is available 24/7 anywhere in the world, and the methodology has been designed specifically for busy individuals who, apart from studying, have other commitments, such as full time jobs and families. Since there are no specific hours to attend classes, the students are allowed to study at their own convenient time, as long as they follow the three deadlines provided in each module. This is our formula of 100% flexibility meeting proper discipline and achieving tangible results.

The profile of our students that study online ranges from top level executives to stay-at-home mothers.

Many of students work for companies and organizations worldwide, such as United Nations, Red Cross, Deloitte, Apple, local NGOs and governmental institutions.

Our virtual campus creates an international and rewarding atmosphere facilitating the communication in between students and teachers, that are practically present worldwide. This is a fascinating opportunity that the technological advancements are offering and BEBS strives to take the best advantage of it.
