Founded in 2006, OBS
Business School
is a 100% online private
business school,
as I said, located in
Barcelona in Spain.
OBS is an autonomous
school with a high degree
of internal competence
in online learning,
curating resources from
a variety of places
so that no external
provider dominates them.
It is part of Grupo Planeta
Formación y Universidades,
a company active in publishing
in higher education.
OBS offers 100%
online Masters degree
programmes in the
field of management,
reaching physically
remote regions where
access to education has
traditionally been a problem.
OBS is committed to
online learning,
as shown by its additional
activities and accolades.
For example, the OBServatory
is an international
network of deans, academic
directors, lecturers
and researchers from
different universities
and business schools that
support online education.
The OBServatory aims
to carry out research
and share experiences
and knowledge
regarding online
higher education.
It also aims to create a space
for debate and
knowledge-sharing in order to
identify new trends
and advancements.
Thus, contribute to
building quality standards
in the field of online
higher education.
The other accolade, one
for which I was part
of awarding, is EOCCS,
the global benchmark for
online course quality
awarded by EFMD Global.
