European institutions to be accredited by the European Quality Improvement
System (EQUIS), awarded by the European Foundation for Management
Development (EFMD).

the Association of MBAs (AMBA) since 1994.

Ambitious and rigorous in terms of its objectives: by the end of the programme,
students will have a complete and
international view of organisations and they
will be able to apply the specific knowledge
and tools of each functional area to fulfil
company strategies, all based on values
such as sustainability and corporate social
responsibility.
Innovative in its methodologyESADE has developed its own pedagogical
system combining various methodologies to
contribute to the development of managerial
competences and skills.
PracticalBecause special emphasis is given at all
times to the practical application of the
knowledge acquired in class and from
faculty (who are mainly active professionals)
or outside the class through professional
internships and student associations.
internationalThe programme’s global perspective is
clear as demonstrated by the content
of its syllabus: the option of learning
Spanish, German or French from a business
point of view; the international exchange
programme; direct contact with students
from other countries studying at ESADE or
participating in an exchange programme; the
possibility of carrying out internships around
the world; the possibility of participating in
double degree programmes offered jointly
with other prestigious universities; the
option to pursue one of the ESADE MSc
Programmes in Management.
Committed to societyIn keeping with its values, ESADE is committed
to society, and this is reflected in all of its
teaching activities. As such, the syllabus
contemplates the possibility of students carrying
out work as volunteers and collaborating with
companies in solidarity projects in developing
countries. In addition, students may also take
part in a wide variety of solidarity campaigns
organised by student-led associations.
“To successfully meet the objectives of the Bachelor Programme, students should be responsible for their own learning process from the very beginning. To do so, they will be given the support and attention of the Programme Management and professors at ESADE, who will help them adapt to this new stage in their lives.”

Learning through practiceFrom teaching to learning and developing competencesESADE has its own innovative pedagogical
system geared towards students acquiring the
knowledge and developing the skills that single
out a good manager in a professional work
environment. As such, and in collaboration
with several companies, ESADE has integrated
a competence and skills model in its syllabus.
Competences cannot be explained; they
must be put into practice. To do so, learning
situations are created in each subject in order
to develop the twenty competences in the
Bachelor’s competence model.
Many ways of learningLearning objectives as ambitious as the ones
at ESADE require using and combining different
methods, enabling the complexity of the
business management world to be reproduced:
active classes, study and discussion of
practical cases, personal study and teamwork,
simulated management scenarios, seminars
on competence development, professional
internships, company creation projects,
international competitions and business games.
Personalised attention
All professors at ESADE are firmly committed
to the learning process of their students:
they continuously monitor their academic
development and are always available for
consultation, both in and out of the classroom.
Excellent academics and prestigious professionalsParallel to teaching, many of our professors
also have professional careers, enabling them
to maintain direct contact with professional
circles and the latest trends in their respective
areas of knowledge. In addition, thanks to our
rigorous research activity, we can satisfy future
needs in the business world and constantly
update our programme to make sure students
receive the best possible education.
Learning foreign languages: English, Spanish, French or GermanStudents learn foreign languages from a
business point of view:English, Spanish,
French or German. For this, a participative
methodology based on small classes and
native teachers is used. Students can also
study subjects delivered in these languages.
Exchange programmes: a passport to the world
Thanks to the exchange programme,
students spend one semester in their third
or fourth year studying abroad.
This enables them to:
- Study in some of the most
prestigious business schools in the world
- Perfect their knowledge of
foreign languages
- Become acquainted with other
cultures, other ways of thinking
and seeing the world
- Meet people from all over the world
- Enjoy a unique life experience
ESADE Alumni: an international network of professionalsOn completing the programme, ESADE
students become part of the extensive
community of ESADE Alumni: a network of
over 44,000 professionals working around
the world.
Job placement statistics for the last few years
Students have found work on completing their degrees (60%) or within three months of finishing their studies.
The best start to a great careerA wide range of career opportunitiesAll societies develop thanks to their organisations, whether they are private or public, non-profit
making or social. This is why the range of career possibilities offered by the business management
world is increasingly wider and students from ESADE find jobs in the most varied fields. The
professional career tends to begin in a specific functional area, in which responsibility is taken for
increasingly complex projects, and is directed towards team management.

ESADE is looking for talented young peopleIf you are a talented student in your final
year of high school and think that university
education should be an intellectual challenge,
