WHAT IS DEUSTO BUSINESS SCHOOL?


Created with a strong commitment to being one of the international top Business Schools, Deusto Business School, part of the centenary University of Deusto, aspires to be a true centre of excellence. Its solid reputation and vision of the future is shared by thousands of the school’s alumni - business executives and thought leaders - who studied there since ‘La Comercial’ was founded in 1916. As Deusto adapts to the changing times, the School advances its mission to provide Business Education to Serve the World.

The School´s development is closely monitored and supported by its Board of Directors. The Board is made up of leading business professionals who represent key global companies.

Deusto Business School has embarked on its international development at a crucial moment in business education – when the renovation of business education is widely demanded both by corporations and society. All that we offer and do at Deusto Business School (strategy, facilities, teaching and research) is motivated by three key dimensions in business education:

•    Sustainability.

•    Digital and Networked Strategy.

•    Innovation and Entrepreneurship.


SIGNS OF IDENTITY:

Deusto Business School has assumed four key commitments to its students: development of four distinctive features that characterise our strategy and run transversally through our programmes.

- An international vision.

- Digital strategy.

- Innovation, entrepreneurship and creative thinking.

- Sustainability.


CENTENARY INSTITUTION:

Run by the Society of Jesus, the University of Deusto opened its doors in 1886, making it the first centre for higher education in the Basque Country. During these 120 years since it was founded, Deusto  has become an emblematic presence in the two cities where its campuses are located:Bilbao and San Sebastian. Deusto has been a pioneer institution in the field of Business Administration, forming leaders at its two faculties: La Comercial, at the Bilbao campus since 1916 and ESTE at the San Sebastian Campus, created in 1956.
