Official Master's Degree in Business Administration
The Master's in Business Administration and Management
tailored to your industry
The CESTE MBA prepares recent graduates and junior professionals to take on management and consulting roles, with the option to specialize in one of nine business tracks. Unlike a generalist MBA, this master’s degree in business administration combines a common foundation in management with two final modules dedicated to your specialization, enabling you to develop managerial judgment and true expertise in your sector, in areas such as digital marketing, logistics, finance, human resources, or data science and AI.
It is an official MBA with a British degree from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD), recognized in Spain, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. It is registered in the RUCT under code 8000086, and because it is officially recognized within the European Higher Education Area, it grants access to doctoral studies. You can take the program in Zaragoza in-person, or from any city in Spain via distance learning or a blended learning format.
