The business world has no borders, and neither should your education. The Esade Global Master's in International Management is a transformative 15-month experience for graduates who want to truly understand the world, not just read about it.
Go beyond traditional management theory. This program combines academic rigor with an immersive experience in a key global hub (Hong Kong or Toronto), giving you with the agility to lead in a constantly evolving global environment.
Why Choose the Global Path?
Global Immersion (The Real Deal)
Don’t just study international business—live it. Spend 10 weeks abroad, combining advanced academic study at HKU Business School (University of Hong Kong) or Schulich Business School (York University) with a real-world Global Challenge tackling real problems for local companies.
Corporate Impact
Theory meets practice. Throughout the program, you will work on strategic projects for top-tier multinationals, tackling challenges that reflect today’s complex realities.
Tailored for Agility
Your fourth term is yours to design. Deepen your expertise with MBA-level electives —including an optional internship— to fit your career goals. It’s your degree, your rules.
