General Q&A
Bachelor´s Programmes
You can apply for the Bachelor's programmes at any time during the year. However, because we have limited places, we do recommend that you start your application sooner rather than later to guarantee your spot.
Non-EU students that need a student visa to study in Spain should start their application at least 6 months in advance to make sure you get your visa in time for the start of classes.
We offer a unique opportunity for students in their final year of secondary school studies or awaiting their final High School diploma and final grades. In such cases, you can apply for conditional acceptance into the Bachelor's programmes. This means that you can be considered for acceptance based on your current academic records and an interview with ESEI. However, you must provide your final certifications upon completion of your secondary education before the start of the Bachelor's programmes.
All applicants seeking admission to the Bachelor's programmes must provide proof of having successfully completed secondary school education.
We accept a range of national and international high school diplomas, including but not limited to the Spanish Bachillerato certificate, French Baccalauréat, American High School Diploma, IB and IDCP Diplomas, UK A-Levels, German Abitur, and other recognized equivalents.
All applicants seeking admission to the Bachelor's programmes must be fluent in English and provide adequate proof, such as being native speakers, having undertaken previous education in English, or having taken English proficiency tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, English Score Test, or Duolingo with a top score certifying fluency.
We provide various partial scholarships for applicants applying to the Bachelor's programmes. Explore the complete range of scholarship opportunities here: https://www.eseibusinessschool.com/scholarships-financial-aid/
The Bachelor's programmes are delivered on campus. However, specific modules within the programme (for example the Impact Lab category) are available online.
Yes! We welcome transfer students to join our Bachelor's programmes. Transfer students can enter at any of the three years and must come from a Business background with modules similar to those in our programme. ESEI requires a 500€ transfer deposit for each validated year. This deposit is refundable only upon successful enrolment and commencement of our programme.
We also accept students interested in taking a semester abroad from other universities and business schools.
We recommend transfer and exchange students to contact our Student Advisors to explore all their options.
Within the Bachelor's programmes, you can choose from over 36 global destinations for a semester abroad, including locations in Africa, Europe, Asia, and America. ESEI students benefit from the Collège de Paris network, which includes multiple campuses in France and partnerships worldwide, enhancing your studies with international experience.
We have meticulously designed our curriculum to ensure it aligns with the skills and knowledge businesses seek in international talent holding a Bachelor's degree. Barcelona, as a global business hub, offers numerous opportunities for networking and professional growth.
European students who do not require a student visa can remain in Spain after graduation and work full-time without any special permit. You simply need to obtain your Spanish NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) and Social Security Number to be eligible for employment.
For non-European students, the process is slightly more complex but manageable. You will need the support of a company to secure an internship visa or work permit to stay and work in Spain after completing your studies.
Finding suitable student housing in Barcelona is essential for international students enrolling in the Bachelor's programmes at ESEI.
Although we do not offer on-campus housing, we provide a list of student residences near our campus, as well as student accommodation agencies to help you find your ideal home in Barcelona. Our partnerships include attractive promotional codes exclusive to our students.

So keep reading!
