Research and Teaching
The Barcelona GSE offers a range of postgraduate academic degrees in economics and finance. These degrees are all international in nature and attract an international student body. In the academic year 2012/13, 92% of the student body were international students (41% non-Europeans) and 42% of the permanent lecturers were non-Spanish (79% did their PhDs outside Spain). 44% of the graduates in 2012 took up a PhD after completing their master’s degree or began working in science. The research is carried out in close collaboration with the four founding institutions and is funded by the Spanish and Catalan governments as an elite university. It is advised on teaching and research issues by a 30-strong scientific advisory board, which includes 11 Nobel Prize winners. The Board of Trustees is chaired by Joaquín Almunia , the Spanish EU Commissioner.
