At the Barcelona GSE, you will find talented people who are committed to frontier research and graduate education in Economics.

The Barcelona Graduate School of Economics is a large community of researchers, professors, students, and alumni who all share the School’s core spirit: to create value for society with rigorous work and social responsibility through pioneering research and education.

Our key mission is the training of the next generation of economists and data scientists by offering world-class programs taught by leading faculty in their field.

We seek outstanding, motivated students and provide them with a top-notch education and values that will make them exceptional global experts with intellectual rigor and critical thinking skills. During their time with us, our students have direct contact with professors and practitioners whose insights from academia and industry are part of the curriculum.

Our ambition is to be consistently recognized as one of the top institutions in Europe and worldwide for research and education in Economics and the social sciences.

At the Barcelona GSE, education and research are closely linked. Key factors for the continued top performance of our researchers have been: the co-organization of the PhD programs in Economics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the development of new research activities such as the Barcelona GSE Summer Forum; and the achievement of competitive funding programs such as the Severo Ochoa Research Excellence Distinction.

In addition to the many grants and awards that our faculty receive, the quality and quantity of the scientific production among the entire Barcelona GSE research community positions us well in international research rankings such as RePEC.

Such ambitious objectives would not be possible without the support and partnership of institutions and companies that have collaborated with the School from day one: the Barcelona GSE Scientific Council, our Board of Trustees, and our sponsors.
