Admission process

The admission process for the MSc Programs in Management is open to students across the world in their final year of Business Management at university or to recent graduates (the last two or three years).

When should I begin the admission process?

The admission process is ongoing and we are already receiving applications for the next edition of the Official Master programs in Management to begin in September 2009 (sole intake). The deadline to submit applications for the September 2009 intake: Tuesday 30th June 2009.

However, you should begin the admission process as early as possible given that there are very few places on this program and if you wait until June, they may all have been filled.

Candidates from outside the European Union should also take into account the additional time needed to apply for the corresponding visa to be able to study here in Barcelona.

If you are in your final year at university, we recommend NOT to wait until June to apply, even if your academic record is incomplete when you do so.

What is the step-by-step process to study at ESADE?

To start the process, you must carefully fill in the admission application form. We recommend you do this over the Internet. Admission fees of �135 should be paid when submitting an Admission application form (2008-2009). This amount will not be refunded under any circumstances.

You must send us all the documentation stated in the admission application as early as possible. Until we receive this, we cannot begin to assess your application.

You must take an Admission Test. You can choose between the GMAT and the ESADE Admission Test (only in Spanish)

If you are applying for the CEMS MIM, you must have a personal or telephone interview as part of the admission process. The objective of this interview is to clarify your suitability for the program and check your level of foreign languages. In some cases, we ask candidates to the MSc Programs in Management for a personal interview.

Approximately one month after completing the admission process, we will inform you if you have been accepted or not.

If you are accepted, final admission will depend on you meeting the academic requirements, that is, completing your university degree before the start of the program. Consult the academic requirements for further information.
