Huesca Business School, with more than 800 students, is integrated

amounts to over 44.000. The main defining feature of this university
centre is its dynamic academic programme, which offers a wide range of

Meeting the shifting needs of a complex international work market has
become a permanent challenge for our business school. Therefore, a
range of specialized courses have recently been launched by our centre

use of information and communication technologies has also been a key
factor in the development of our school as an educational institution.
Integrated within a university e-learning network (Anillo Docente

international exchange programmes with a number of European
universities which allow students to improve their foreign
language proficiency and business knowledge and skills
*

conferences, exhibitions, etc.).
Huesca Business School also attempts to bridge the gap between
educational and professional experience by providing students with
training opportunities in local businesses and public institutions and
by helping them to design their own business project with the support
of school grants and teachers’ expert advice.

necessary to have obtained 50% of the credits in their degree.
Students are allowed to choose the company and the field or department
in which they would like to be placed as well as the dates of the
training period. At every stage, they will be supported by an
individual University tutor (as well as a tutor in the company) who
will give them instructions and feedback about their project and the
final report on their training experience they have to write.
Once this project and report are presented to a board of examiners and
