As the first accadis student at the renowned EAE Business School, I spent an unforgettable semester in Barcelona. This experience took my personal and academic development to a new level and will stay with me forever.
Practice-oriented studies in an international environment
EAE Business School is characterized by a dynamic learning environment that expertly combines theory and practice. I was particularly impressed by the intensive collaboration in group projects and presentations, which promote intercultural exchange with students from all over the world. The lecturers contributed valuable practical experience, while the manageable group sizes created a personal and interactive atmosphere. The course material tied in seamlessly with my studies at accadis Hochschule and enabled me to consolidate what I had learned in practice.
Why Barcelona?
The decision to go to Barcelona was clear to me. In addition to the sunny climate and relaxed way of life, the city offers an incomparable mix of vibrant city flair and Mediterranean serenity. The combination of historical charm, modern architecture and proximity to the sea makes Barcelona one of the most attractive cities in Europe.
Leisure time - from soccer to tapas
Together with four fellow students, I set up a soccer team and took part in a university league. Every Saturday we played against teams from all over the region - a highlight of my stay that not only challenged us athletically but also brought us new friendships.
Barcelona also offers a wide range of opportunities for sports enthusiasts: jogging along the beach promenade or excursions to the Costa Brava and the surrounding mountains, which offer spectacular panoramas.
The city also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of cuisine. A typical evening starts in one of the numerous tapas bars, before the nightlife beckons with its wide range of options for every musical taste.
Conclusion: Barcelona is a clear recommendation
A semester abroad in Barcelona is a unique opportunity to broaden your personal and academic horizons. For me, it was an enriching time full of unforgettable experiences and intercultural encounters. I can only advise all future students: Take advantage of this opportunity and see for yourself!
