The City and the Sea

Whether it’s exploring the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, catching a free concert during the La Mercè festival or gazing at the Mediterranean from the Barceloneta beach, live Barcelona and make the experience yours.

Barcelona is a thriving setting for music, culture, sport, gastronomy and nightlife, famous for its cosmopolitan style and sunsoaked beaches. Barcelona has something for everyone and can be enjoyed throughout the seasons, from the biggest and best music events like Sónar and Primavera Sound in the summer, to beachside nightclubs and traditional street festivals. Barcelona’s proximity to the Pyrenees mountain range means that you can spend the weekend on the slopes whenever the desire hits you. And the Costa Brava, famous for its crystal clear waters, hidden coves and renowned hiking trails, is just a little further up the Catalan coastline.

This foodie paradise is home to more than 20 Michelin-starred restaurants and the world-famous Boqueria market. However, the true beauty of Barcelona lies in its relaxed way of life. Terraces are open all year long and there is always a cultural event or concert to go to. If you truly want to live like a local, then pull up a chair in any of Barcelona’s beautiful squares and while away the hours chatting with friends, sharing a vermouth and watching the world go by.

Like a local:

Keep a weekend free in January or February for a calçotada; an outdoor event that involves roasting calçots, a regional delicacy similar to leeks and served with a delicious romesco sauce.

Visas

Before coming to Barcelona, it is essential to find out whether you need a visa to enter, travel and study in Spain. There are many requirements to fulfill in order to receive a visa and, depending on your country of origin, it may take up to three months. Therefore, it is important to start early and allow enough time for the consulate or embassy to process your request. The visa must be issued in your home country and is only valid for 90 days.

You will not need a visa if you are:

• A citizen of the European Union in possession of a valid European Union identification card or passport

• Staying in Spain for three months or less

If the above criteria do not apply, you will need a visa before arriving in Spain. You must apply at the Spanish embassy or consulate general in your home country or country of residence, as the visa will be affixed to your passport before you depart. This must be presented to immigration officials upon your entry into Spain. Within 30 days of arrival, all international students must register as residents and apply for either the Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE) or Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE).

We strongly recommend that you complete all documents necessary for the application process as soon as possible. Spanish translations of all documents are also required.

Required documents:

• Completed visa application forms

• Four passport-size photos (stapled onto each copy of the application)

• Medical certificate issued within the last three months

• Final acceptance documents from EU Business School Barcelona and photocopies

• Proof of health insurance

• Passport valid for six months before the date of application and photocopies

• Background check issued within the last three months

• Proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself while living in Spain

• Proof of accommodation in Barcelona

Please bear in mind that the visa requirements may change. Therefore, we recommend that you contact your local Spanish embassy or consulate general to ensure that the requirements are up to date.

Please note:

Each visa application is reviewed individually, therefore the necessary documents may vary. The embassy reserves the right to ask for additional documents at any time. The submission of the above documents does not guarantee the issuance of a visa. Submission of an incomplete set of documents will lead to a refusal of your visa application. Once a visa has been issued, the purpose of the trip may not be altered. Please note that there is no such thing as an urgent or express visa.

Registering as a resident (all students):

Every student wishing to pursue studies in Barcelona (both European Union and non-European Union students) MUST register as a resident in the city. The process is called empadronamiento and you can register at your nearest city hall. Once registered, EU citizens need to apply for the NIE and non-European Union citizens must apply for the TIE by booking an appointment at the Comisaría General de Extranjería y Fronteras. Please visit the student services office on campus to register for an appointment. Here you will receive detailed information about the process while double checking that you have correctly filled out the paperwork.

Answers

Mostly As: student dorms

Mostly Bs: private apartments

Mostly Cs: apartment-sharing

"The multicultural environment at EU Business School prepares you for today’s globalized business world."

Julian Baladurage CEO and Co-Founder MBJ London Class of 2012

Student dorms

Living in student dorms allows you to meet new people and gives you a structured living environment without having to worry about household chores and the stress of dealing with rental agencies. Living close to other students helps you adapt to the city and your new lifestyle. This type of accommodation is welcoming and ensures you always have someone to talk to.

EU Barcelona has partnerships with several student residences in various parts of the city. The dorms are located in different districts, ranging from a five-minute walk from EU Barcelona to 30 minutes via public transport. Aside from this, there are also many privately run student dorms in Barcelona that offer exceptional service.

If you are planning to arrive at the beginning of the fall semester (October), we recommend that you send your accommodation application to a wide range of residences five months before starting. Apply for a place in our partner residences immediately after enrollment by contacting our accommodation officer. Placements are limited.

Private apartments

Having your own apartment will appeal to you if you enjoy the quiet, like to be alone and don’t want to compromise on personal space. You can choose to get an apartment anywhere in the city without limiting yourself to student dorm availability or location. This type of accommodation is ideal for independent people.

Most apartments are rented through an agency. However renting directly from the owner generally saves tenants a lot of money in agency fees, which are usually one month’s rent in addition to other deposits and commissions. You can contact rental agencies directly or visit websites which post availabilities such as idealista.com or enalquiler.com, among many others.

Apartment-sharing

Sharing an apartment is a popular option in Spain and a lot cheaper than living on your own. Shared housing is a flexible option and, with international roommates, you will be able to learn other languages. But you must be willing to compromise.

For more information about housing, email our accommodation officer at: admissionsservices.bcn@euruni.edu

Planning your budget

Barcelona is not an expensive city, but you need to have an idea of what you are able to spend on rent, travel and leisure. You should plan for a living expenditure of at least €1,000 per month. Shared accommodation is around €500 per month while living alone starts from €700 per month. The remainder will be for basic necessities and leisure.

Meal at an inexpensive restaurant €12

One liter of milk €1

Café latte €1.80

A beer €2

Movie at the cinema €9

Life After Your Studies

The EU Alumni Association brings together alumni from cities all across the world. The association holds regular networking events, webinars, presentations, talks and seminars designed to further promote connections between alumni, such as “How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse in Your Company”. These initiatives are specially designed to support active and engaged members of the international business community.

Alumni Hub

The online platform created by the EU Alumni Association gives access to information regarding workshops, networking events and career development opportunities. Members use the Hub to share news about their achievements, connect with old classmates, post upcoming events, offer career opportunities and mentor others, sharing their expertise and inspiring the next generation of business leaders.

New graduates benefit from having the solid base of professional contacts the alumni network provides. The 30,000-strong network is full of established professionals who share similar ideologies and can provide support for business ventures or mentorships.

Our alumni work at some of the biggest global companies including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Sony, Nike and Deloitte.
