ESADE HAS ITS OWN ADMISSION PROCESS OPEN TO STUDENTS IN THEIR FINAL YEAR OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL (OR EQUIVALENT, DEPENDING ON COUNTRY OF ORIGIN).
Who can begin the admission process for ESADE Bachelor programs?

The admission process is ongoing and there are several opportunities to begin it throughout the year, but it must be started before the end of your final year at Senior High School (or equivalent, depending on country of origin).

We do advise you though to start the admission process as early as possible. If you are accepted, final admission to an Undergraduate program will depend on the following academic requirements.

Language requirements

. You must be fluent in Spanish to be able to access the ESADE Bachelor programs.
. All candidates to the Bachelor in Business Administration - BBA should have an English level equivalent to First Certificate of Cambridge at the start of the programme. Candidates are required to sit a language level test on the same day they take the Admissions test. Candidates to the Bachelor and Master in Law are not required to have English language knowledge for admission.

Academic requirements

. For candidates from the Spanish education system.
. For candidates from an EU education system (except Spain).
. For candidates from other education systems around the world.

To access the Spanish university system, you must present documentation proving you are eligible to access your own country's university system.

On the website of the Spanish Ministry of Education you can find a list of those countries requiring official recognition, the steps you must take, the application form and all necessary documentation to be presented. Please take into account that this process can take up to 3 months, so you must start it at the same time as your ESADE admission process.
