Doing an online MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree in Spain is always a good option if you do not have enough time (or the desire) to attend normal classes with a regular schedule, whether because you are working or because you live in another country and are unable or unwilling to move. Moreover, MBA degrees taken online are significantly less expensive in terms of cost and tuition fees than MBA degrees taken in person in Spain.
Thanks to the Internet and constant improvements in terms of connection speeds, studying online from a distance is both easy and user-friendly. Plus, there is a wide-ranging offer of online MBA programs in both Spanish and English, given by business schools and universities all over the world.
The number of online MBA degree programs is enormous. On this page, we focus in on the online MBA degree programs offered by schools and universities in Spain. On the table we have provided you with below, you are given a clear way to examine the most important information on our selection of online MBA degree programs, including their tuition fees (cost), the schools which offers the programs, the language of instruction, duration and the availability of internship programs. We will update this table from time to time, as we discover new MBA programs to add.

As you can see on our quick-view table, in Spain there are both inexpensive and very costly online MBA programs. The range of prices is enormous. The prices run from €45,000 at the best of all business schools to €2,500 at a more modest institution.
The IE Business School’s online MBA is the best online MBA degree in the world
According to the rankings put out by The Financial Times in 2016, the best online MBA program in the world is offered by the IE Business School, a Spanish business school located in Madrid. Of course, because it is such a highly scored Master’s degree, we have included it in our listings.
A slightly different program for our site: an online MBA program given by a business school in Peru
When creating our table comparing online MBA prices, we discovered one MBA program that receives rave reviews. It is an online MBA taught in Spanish at a university in Peru. We have added it to our table, because it is one of the online MBA degree programs with the highest prestige according to The Financial Times. The courses are given partially in person and partially online. Four weeks of classes are required in person, two in Lima, Peru and another two in Barcelona at the EADA Business School, with which the university has reached a cooperation agreement. Though you must travel to Lima for two weeks, we thought it was of interest to include it on our list because of the high ratings it is given and its close ties with a Spanish business school.
