ESADE’s master’s programmes in management and in finance have been ranked #3 and #6 worldwide in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018. Published by the websites TopUniversities and TopMBA, this ranking has included the categories of Master in Sciences of Finance and Master in International Management for the first time this year, with ESADE making its debut the top 10. ESADE also ranked the highest of all Spanish business schools.

The Master of Finance and Master in International Management are among ESADE’s Master of Science (MSc) programmes, the first of which were introduced in 2007. Since then, the interest shown in these degrees has increased considerably: 540 students are currently enrolled in MSc programmes at ESADE, up 20% from last year. Over the past decade, ESADE has expanded its MSc offering. In addition to the programmes ranked in the top 10 by QS World University Rankings 2018, ESADE also offers an MSc in Marketing, an MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and an MSc in Global Strategic Management.

According to Josep Franch, Dean of ESADE Business School, making the top 10 in this ranking is a result of “our school’s constant engagement and commitment to innovation, talent, social impact and excellence”. This recognition, he added, inspires ESADE to “face the challenges and opportunities of the future, including the way in which artificial intelligence will affect educational processes and the professional world”. Finally, Dr. Franch concluded: “Our goal is to offer an innovative, unique and transformational educational experience.”
