ESADE MBA Program Highlights

Founded in 1958 by Catalan entrepreneurs, ESADE is a Jesuit institution with undergraduate and graduate programs in law and management on campuses in Barcelona, Madrid, and Buenos Aires. The school offers two full-time MBA programs at its main campus in Barcelona: an 18-month track geared for students with any undergraduate degree and at least two years of work experience, and a yearlong course for more mature students with backgrounds in economics, engineering, or business administration.

Evolving Curriculum

The school reviews its curriculum every three or four years, making sure students—and recruiters—get what they're looking for, says Olaya Garcia, director of ESADE's full-time MBA programs. Next year the school will offer weeklong intensive courses on topics such as downsizing, creating an offer, and mergers and acquisitions, and will have some classes team-taught by law, finance, and economics professors to show how the disciplines overlap.

Small Class Size

The 18-month track has just 120 students split into two classes and the yearlong course has 30—a boon to students looking for individual attention from professors and recruiters

Testimonial
I just wanted to let you know that I have been accepted by the business school which I applied for in June. I am sure that one of the key success factors was the essay. I am aware that my essay got only to the level of quality through the very professional and rapid feedback from your staff members. Thanks to the team of Manhattan Review for making this help available quick and with high quality!
