Overview

ESADE Business School is a top ranked business school worldwide with over 50 years heritage in management development. Through our Barcelona, Madrid and Buenos Aires campuses, we deliver a variety of MBA and Executive Education programmes.

Our Full Time MBA is the market’s most innovative programme allowing you to customise your MBA experience in 12, 15 or 18 months according to your objectives. The flexibility of our Full Time MBA allows you to minimise the opportunity cost of pursuing an MBA by adapting to your changing needs as they arise throughout the programme.

ESADE Business School’s distinctive methodology, balances theory and practice rather than solely focusing on the case method. Simulating real working conditions, cross-functional and multicultural teamwork is an integral pillar of our cooperative methodology structured around the geographic, functional and academic diversity of our student population. We also place a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship as a means to creating value for organisations and the development of leadership competencies through the LEAD programme.

As a select programme, we deliver unmatched personalised attention. Career Services works closely with participants helping develop and manage the entire job search process through one to one advice and guidance meetings, coaching sessions, seminars and workshops. As a comparatively small business school, you will also be able to stand out in front of the leading multinational companies that recruit on-campus.

ESADE Business School also offers The Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) in collaboration with Georgetown University. This exclusive part time programme combines distance learning with six international modules located in Washington, Moscow, Barcelona, New York, Brazil/Argentina and India/China. The GEMBA is targeted at professionals with more than eight years postgraduate work experience and an international profile.

Given today’s competitive international talent market, professionals are increasingly worried about the uncertainty surrounding their future. The ESADE MBA is a unique experience open to a select number of highly diverse participants designed to harness your passion for business as a means to opening professional opportunities.

By aligning The ESADE MBA to real business needs, we are able to equip you with relevant analytical tools, global strategic vision and multicultural leadership competencies. In so doing, we believe we are giving you more decision making power and thus more control over your career evolution. Our ultimate objective is to enhance your personal freedom by being able to “enjoy business your way”!

ESADE Business School is internationally recognised for the excellent standard of its MBA programmes and is accredited by the world’s three most respected management education organisations: AACSB International, the EQUIS accreditation from the EFMD and the British Association of MBAs (AMBA).

Student profile

As a select programme, the degree of personalised attention you will receive throughout The ESADE MBA is second to none. The Career Services Team will work closely with you to identify your career goals and design action plans to meet them. At the same time, the Career Services Team is in constant contact with the international business community to generate internship and job opportunities for you within top companies worldwide.

"The ESADE MBA has opened new horizons in my career. I decided to pursue an MBA because I really wanted to work for a top consulting firm and knew that an MBA from a top business school would be a proven channel into the sector.

Shortly after completing a challenging strategy internship at BCG’s Sao Paolo’s office, which I found through Career Services, I received a full time job offer from the firm. Halfway through my MBA, I am glad to have secured a Consultant position at BCG to go back to after graduation."
