Enhance your international profile
The Esade Bachelor of Business Administration degree programme will prepare you to work anywhere in the world. When you graduate, you’ll have an international perspective on business and extensive language skills in Spanish, plus a third language: French or German. Non-native speakers can also perfect their Business English.
An international approach
The Esade Bachelor of Business Administration is delivered on the Barcelona–Sant Cugat campus both 100% in English and as a bilingual Spanish/English or Catalan/English program. In this final option, the bilingual format will be maintained during the first year, to transition to a complete English immersion starting from the second year.
Spanish
The BBA syllabus also includes compulsory Spanish courses, ranging in level from beginner to advanced. You’ll start with the Modern Language I course and learn to understand, speak, read and write basic Spanish that’s applicable both in business environments and in daily life. Over the course of the programme, you’ll progress to Español 5, which focuses on becoming fluent and understanding the cultural context of the language.
Living and Barcelona and practicing the language outside the classroom will accelerate your learning and enrich your Esade experience.
French or German (optional)
You can study French or German for up to six hours per week. Your teachers will be native speakers, class sizes are small and learning is based on participation. You’ll learn essential business vocabulary and develop key skills such as negotiation.
