Your first immersion in the world of work
At Esade we want you to experience the reality of working in management, economics and international relations before you finish your education.
That’s why the Double Degree in Business Administration + Global Governance, Economics & Legal Order includes internships and voluntary internships in development projects. Both are unique experiences that will add value to your learning and to your resumé.
Internships
5th-year internship semester
Companies or international organizations — you decide:
- Top international organizations
Imagine working in the United Nations offices in New York or Nairobi, or for NATO in Brussels. These are just some of the internship options that you can take in the fifth year.
If you want, you can focus on organizations related to your specialization in global politics or economics: in embassies or general consulates in Spain or abroad, in multinational companies, law offices, or research and analysis centers, in organizations such as the European Court of Auditors, the World Bank, UNESCO, or chambers of commerce. - Leading companies in Spain or abroad
You’ll have access to Spanish and international companies in every sector (financial services, auditing, consulting and consumer goods are the most popular among our students). Esade students have done their internships in firms including Amazon, Desigual, Bain Consulting, Boston Consulting Group, Goldman Sachs, and HSBC.
