GBSB Global Recognized by Eduniversal as a Business School with Strong Regional Influence
GBSB Global Business School has once again been recognized on the international stage. Following a thorough evaluation this past summer, Eduniversal officially promoted GBSB Global to the league of business schools with strong regional influence. This confirms the school’s growing academic reputation and impact across Southern Europe.
This recognition is part of the 2025 Eduniversal Best Business Schools Ranking — the 18th edition — one of the world’s most respected and methodologically rigorous classifications.
In 2019, GBSB Global first entered the Eduniversal Official Selection among the top 1,000 business schools worldwide, holding one Palme of Excellence. Today, after years of continuous institutional progress, international expansion, and academic innovation, the school has been elevated to the next level.
“This recognition affirms that our long-term strategy is working,” said Dr. Wiktor Patena, Head of Institution of GBSB Global. “We are building an international school that is academically ambitious and deeply connected to the economic realities of our region. Being acknowledged for our strong regional influence underscores the real impact of our work.”
A Distinction Earned by only 28 Institutions in Spain
Eduniversal’s Official Selection is based on a detailed quantitative assessment and a qualitative review conducted by the Eduniversal International Scientific Committee, comprised of globally respected deans and academic leaders.
The evaluation considers global reputation, international engagement, academic commitment, and the school’s influence within its region.
This new status positions GBSB Global among a highly selective group of only 28 business schools and universities in Spain listed in the Eduniversal selection.
Celebrated in India at the 18th Eduniversal World Convention
The recognition was officially announced at the convention, which took place from November 10–13, 2025, at IIM Indore in India.
GBSB Global was proudly represented by Pranjali Kirloskar Deshmukh, who attended the ceremony on behalf of the school.
“Receiving this recognition, surrounded by academic leaders from around the globe, was a powerful moment,” Pranjali Kirloskar Deshmukh explained. “It reflects where GBSB Global stands today and the direction in which we are heading—toward greater relevance, a larger impact, and a truly global footprint.“
Strengthening Our Mission for the Future
This achievement is a testament to our faculty, the excellence of our students and alumni, and our collective dedication to shaping future-ready, globally minded leaders.
As GBSB Global moves forward, this new distinction reinforces our commitment to educating, innovating, and making a meaningful contribution to our region and beyond.
