Enhance your international profile
The Esade Bachelor of Business Administration & Bachelor in Artificial Intelligence for Business 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 with extensive vocabularies of both business and AI.
The curriculum includes classes in Spanish, plus a third language: French or German. Non-native speakers can also perfect their business & tech English. In addition, you can go on a semester-long exchange visit to one of the world’s top universities.
Business & Tech English
You can perfect your business and tech English in this subject, expanding your vocabulary in both fields:
- 1st year: research and expansion of business English vocabulary, mainly through written work.
- 2nd year: introduction of English speaking practice.
- 3rd year: in-depth practical work on being persuasive during negotiations, debates, project presentations and more.
French or German
You will have the option to study French or German. 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.
Spanish
The curriculum 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 program, 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.
