BSc (Hons) in Business Management

Built for students who want more than just theory, the BSc (Hons) in Business Management offers a practical, internationally recognised pathway into modern business and management careers.

The programme begins with two years of on-campus study in Barcelona, where students complete ESEI’s Level 4 and Level 5 Diplomas in Business Administration. During this stage, students develop a strong foundation across key business areas including management, marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, economics, and digital business. Learning is highly applied, with project-based coursework guided by experienced academics, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs.

In the final year, students progress to a UK-accredited Level 6 BSc (Hons) in Business Management, awarded by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) or The University of Law (Business School). Delivered online, this year allows students to deepen their strategic and managerial skills while earning an internationally recognised UK bachelor’s degree.

Yes. ESEI understands that circumstances can sometimes affect academic progress, and options are in place to support students if this happens.

If necessary, students may also repeat a module when it is next offered in the academic calendar. Repeating a module is subject to additional module fees, and students are encouraged to use retake opportunities before choosing this option.

At ESEI, we believe learning is most effective in small group settings. Class sizes are intentionally kept small to support personalised, hands-on learning and meaningful interaction with lecturers.

What our Students Say

Fabiola

ESEI Alumni - MBA in Business Administration

ESEI was perfect because the classes are full of students and professors from all over the world. Everyone brings something unique to share, and you learn so much from each other.

Oliver

ESEI Alumni - Master’s in Digital Marketing

It’s project-based studying and the learning model is super well suited for digital marketing because you’ve learned all theory before in the bachelor and other studies and then you go more hands-on.

Chinwe

ESEI Alumni - Master’s in Innovation and Entrepreneurship

When I was choosing a programme, the innovations and entrepreneurship programme really caught my eye because I’ve always been someone that has wanted to improve already existing processes for anything that I’m doing.

Niklas

ESEI Alumni - Master’s in Marketing and Communication

My favourite part at ESEI was probably the real-life approach of learning. Always working in teams with fellow students to solve real tasks. It felt very close to working in a real marketing team, which I really liked.

Arcio

ESEI Alumni - MBA in International Relations and International Business

I have always liked global experiences, global markets, and anything to do with international affairs. I was always drawn to a programme that had a global perspective.

Merle

ESEI Alumni - Master’s in Marketing and Communication

It was super nice that you were learning things in school and then also learning things in the office during my internship. For me, it really related to everything we were learning in class.
