ESADE has moved up two positions this year to claim the #7 slot among non-US Full-Time MBA programmes, according to Bloomberg Businessweek’s annual business school ranking. This excellent result is due in part to the ESADE programme’s classification as the #1 Full-Time MBA for entrepreneurs outside of the United States and #6 worldwide.

The ESADE Full-Time MBA also placed in the top ten for the other three variables considered in the ranking: networking, i.e. participants’ satisfaction with their network of colleagues and with the school’s career services team (#6); learning, i.e. the real-life applicability of the curriculum and skills acquired (#6); and compensation, i.e. participants’ salary increase after completing the programme (#9). Unlike other rankings, the Bloomberg Businessweek list is based entirely on the opinions of four key stakeholder groups: recruiters, students, alumni and other business schools.

“We are very proud to be included once again among the top non-US MBA programmes,” commented Josep Franch, Dean of ESADE Business School. “This result reflects our level of recognition among recruiters and students, as well as our efforts to renew the MBA programme and adapt it to the new digital and social environment.” He added: “The selection of our programme as the best MBA for entrepreneurs outside of the United States reflects the fact that all of ESADE’s departments are focused on entrepreneurship, most notably through our Rambla of Innovation, which offers an innovation-oriented educational experience without risk aversion.”
