Learning Innovation
Esade applies an integral teaching model that is based on innovation, technology, and methodological and academic excellence.
Esade empowers our students from a vision of human excellence. We develop a Conscious, Competent, Committed and Compassionate educational community through the holistic training based on the 4Cs teaching model (creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration).
We have a global educational ecosystem in which our students interact with each other and directly with companies, startups, and organizations.
In this ecosystem, students, participants, faculty, and managers from different business realities, geographies, and cultures coexist – and this creates an international and diverse educational experience.
The five pillars of Learning Innovation
Methodology
Esade is committed to active methodologies and learning models that place our students at the center and combine conceptual learning with the development of key skills. Active methodologies use learning techniques based on innovation and technology. These methods stimulate skills such as decision making, leadership, or negotiation.
Technology
We offer an innovative educational experience based on technology and new training trends. To facilitate asynchronous learning and enhance student engagement, all our programs are available in face-to-face, online, and hybrid formats. In addition, our educational offerings incorporate virtual reality and other technologies to optimize asynchronous learning.
Programs
We promote interdisciplinary and innovative training. We guarantee that the student's experience is connected to current events and the real world. We incorporate STEM subjects and the main technological disruptions in all our training. Our students also receive training in soft skills.
Spaces
We have turned our campuses into learning ecosystems where academic excellence coexists with innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship. Our facilities have networking spaces where the ideas that will shape tomorrow take form. Our collaborative learning spaces offer the ideal environment for building knowledge and creating solutions based on future scenarios in productive sectors.
Partners
Esade is an important global institution. We have partnerships with other leading universities and organizations around the world so that our students can benefit from networking, diversity, and global vision.
An expert, diverse, and international faculty
We have a diverse faculty with an international profile. Our faculty maintain close contact with the business world, law firms, and organizations. They are prestigious experts in their respective fields and professional practices. Their proximity, motivation, and accessibility stand out – and they act as coaches when necessary to help our students advance to the maximum in their learning and make their way in the labor market.
As a global academic institution, we also promote the culture of exchanges and stays by Esade faculty at other universities. In this way, we attract highly connected professors who bring business reality to our classrooms.
Esade is a global academic benchmark in the field of innovation. This leadership is reflected in its privileged position in the world's most prestigious rankings for educational experience, entrepreneurship, professional development, program quality, and diversity.
