The Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Barcelona is a university faculty dedicated to the higher education and research in the fields of economics and business, located in Barcelona, Spain.
History The first economics studies at the University of Barcelona date back to 1954, taught as a degree at the former Faculty of Political, Economic and Commercial Sciences at the University of Barcelona's Historic Building.
In 1967, the Faculty's own building was inaugurated (current building 690) and in 1972 it was renamed the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences.
In 1971, the School of Advanced Mercantile Studies was integrated into the University of Barcelona, renamed as the University School of Business Studies.
In 2008, the current Faculty of Economics and Business was officially created, as a result of a merger between the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences and the University School of Business Studies.
