Strengthen your international profile with languages
The Esade Double Degree in Business Administration and Law is taught progressively in English as you advance. In addition, the curriculum includes legal and business English, plus French, German or Mandarin. Studying with faculty and classmates from other countries and completing the semester-long exchange programmes abroad will give you a definitive push forward in your mastery of languages, opening the door to new professional opportunities in the international business and legal realms.
Gradual Spanish-to-English programme
During the Double Degree you’ll combine subjects taught in Spanish with others taught entirely in English. The programme incorporates subjects in English progressively: in the second year, they’ll represent approximately 30%; in third year, 50%; and, in fourth year, 70%, meaning you’ll complete more subjects in English than in Spanish.
French, German or Mandarin
You’ll study up to 6 hours per week in the language you choose, all with native-speaking faculty in small and highly participatory classes. Your mastery of these languages not only includes business and legal vocabulary but also key professional competencies such as negotiations.
Legal and business English
During the third and fourth years, you’ll enrol in subjects dedicated specifically to legal and business English, with content focused on subjects or cases you’ll be working on in other programme subjects.
