Innovative Learning Experience
At Esade we know there’s no single way of enriching management knowledge. We know that people are unique. We know that each subject area or focus has its own set of skills, attitudes, and behaviours to foster. And we know that you are at the centre of this matrix.
That’s why we take a Student First approach to teaching.
Our learning system seamlessly blends theory with practice. It fosters the rich interchange of experience, expertise, and ideas that diversity of background brings. Student First interweaves debate, case study discussion, simulations, gameplay, teamwork, role-play, and tutorials.
It is an approach that also fully leverages the 40+ nationalities in class, our strong culture of entrepreneurship, cross-functionality, and collaboration to foster a team player mentality. As well as the management, negotiation, and leadership skills that underpin a truly global mind-set.
The Full Time MBA course methodology gives you the personalized attention from faculty and career advisors to grow, develop, and change. And to fully realize your potential.
Work groups
Work groups rotate each semester and are designed to maximize diversity of gender, nationality, academic, and professional backgrounds. The exchange of experience, ideas, and expertise in each group will encourage you to experiment with new approaches and broaden your horizons as you tackle new challenges.
Developing Interpersonal Skills and Competencies
At Esade we have pioneered an innovative MBA learning system that accelerates the development of interpersonal skills and competencies.
