Frequently Asked Questions

Answer all of your questions

What is the duration of the programme?

The Bachelor in Business programme has a total duration of 3 years, and each year is run over two semesters: one in the fall that typically runs from October - the beginning of February and another in the Spring that typically runs from March - mid-June.

What will my timetable be and how many hours of class per module are there?

You will have classes on campus at ESEI in the mornings or afternoons depending on your academic term. Each module contains 36 teaching hours, taught over 12 weeks of classes. For the Top-Up Bachelor in Business Management with Anglia Ruskin University, the programme will be fully flexible fitting into your existing work / life schedule.

What is ESEI’s attendance policy?

We recommend that you attend all classes, but we understand that sometimes it can be impossible. Therefore, the Bachelor in Business programme attendance policy allows you to miss 3 out of 12 classes per module without justification. The only reason an absence would be justified is if you are unwell and can provide an official medical note. Remember that any absence will hinder your learning and thus likely jeopardise your results.

How are my module grades calculated?

Each module within the Bachelor in Business programme is generally assessed through 3 components: a midterm exam/assignment (half way through the course), a final exam/assignment (at the end of the course), and on how you participate in class throughout the course.

What additional support with my studies does ESEI provide?

We are here to support you, from your first day in the Bachelor in Business programme until the day you graduate.
The Academic Department is there to help with any issues you may have with your studies or life in Barcelona. If you are struggling with certain subjects, on-site tutors can be arranged at an extra cost.

If I fail a module or need to defer it due to extenuating circumstances, can I recuperate it later in the programme?

We know that sometimes it's hard to keep up with your studying, especially when you're juggling all the other things in your life. That's why we've made it as easy as possible for you to retake your modules.

Within the Bachelor in Business programme, you can retake all assignments to ensure you pass your modules. However, please note that if this occurs, your grade will be limited to a pass grade (40%). You will have two retake periods per academic year, one for the Fall semester and one for the Spring semester.

If needed, you can also repeat modules whenever they are running again in the academic calendar, but this will incur an additional module cost so try to avoid this!

What is the average class size on the Bachelor in Business programme?

At ESEI, we know that learning happens best in a small group setting. We have a policy of keeping our class sizes small to ensure that we can deliver personalised, hands-on learning and ensure that each student gets the attention they need to succeed. Classes are typically 10-25 students, but this number will vary by course and season. If you want more information about what class sizes look like for the programme you're interested in, just let us know!

Are there any additional trips, visits or events included in the programme?

Yes! Within the Bachelor in Business programme, you will have guest speakers in your discipline, and some of your course projects will happen in collaboration with a real business. Additionally ESEI runs guest speaker sessions throughout the year, some of which will focus specifically on Business and Management, and all of which will provide relevant insights for you. Furthemore, you will have visits open throughout the year to different local companies giving you insight into the Barcelona business landscape.

Are internships included in the programme?

If you are looking for an internship within your Bachelor in Business programme, Barcelona is the perfect city to find one. There are many opportunities in various sectors, so you can find something that’s a perfect match for you! ESEI will post new internship offers on its digital platform regularly, but you should also attend some of the many networking events the city has to offer. It’s all about making connections and creating opportunities!

We offer assistance with finding internships with our dedicated Career Services team, who are in direct contact with companies and HR agencies and provide up-to-date internship opportunities. Find out more about our Career Services here.

When is the deadline to apply?

You can apply for the Bachelor in Business programme 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 8 months in advance to make sure you get your visa in time for the start of classes.

Can I apply if I am currently finishing my Secondary Education (High School)?

We have a unique opportunity for students who are in their final year of secondary school or are waiting for their final High School diploma and final grades. In this case, you can apply for a conditional acceptance, which means that we can accept you into the Bachelor in Business programme before you complete your secondary school, however, you will need to provide us with your final academic records and diploma before the start of the Bachelor programme.

Can I apply if I don’t have a High School Diploma?

If you would like to apply for the Bachelor in Business Degree programme, but don't have a valid High School Diploma, we're here to help!

The first step is to take our intensive four-week Business Foundation course. This programme will prepare you for the rigours of studies at university level by providing you with the skills needed to succeed at ESEI. After successfully completing our Business Foundation programme, you'll be eligible to enrol in our Bachelor programme where you can earn your degree with confidence. This course normally takes place in August and January each year.

Can I apply if I don't have an official proof of English proficiency?

First of all, we want you to know that we want you here, too. It doesn't matter where you're starting from—if your level of English isn't as high as you'd like it to be, or if you don't have an official English proficiency score, we can help you get started with the Bachelor in Business in English. So keep reading!

You can apply to ESEI if you have a good command of English but are lacking an official English proficiency score. If this is the case, after your admission interview, you may be required to take an English test to confirm your level of English.

If you do not have a good command of English —no worries! We'll walk with you through our English Preparation Course before the start of your Bachelor programme. This course normally takes place in August and January each year, so no matter what month you're accepted into ESEI, by the time your programme starts, we'll make sure that your language skills are good enough to start the Bachelor’s! Find out more about our English Preparation Course here

Can I transfer from another college or university to ESEI?

Yes! We welcome transfer students wanting to take part in the Bachelor in Business programme. If you're looking to complete your Bachelor's at ESEI, just apply and provide us with your full academic transcripts. We review transfer applications on a case-by-case basis.

Can I apply directly to the 3rd year at ESEI and ARU (Top-Up)?

Yes, you can transfer directly to the 3rd year where you will study our specialisation diploma along with ARU's Top-Up Bachelor degree programme. This is possible if you have an HND or equivalent of 120 ECTS from a previous undergraduate business programme. You'll be able to apply for this programme now, but please keep in mind that applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Can I do a year abroad during the programme?

If you are looking to have an international experience, we would recommend that you study the whole Top-Up year (3rd year) on campus at Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom. However, remember that if you do this, you will not be able to take our Specialisation diplomas which is only available in Barcelona.

Can students work after graduating from the Bachelor programme?

We've made every effort to make sure that our curriculum aligns with the skills and knowledge businesses are looking for in international talent who have earned a Bachelor in Business degree. And because Barcelona is such an international city, you'll be able to take advantage of the city's status as a hub of industry and business—and all the opportunities that come with it.

For European students who don't need a student visa, you can stay in Spain after graduation and work full-time without any special permit. All you'll need to do is get your Spanish NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) and Social Security Number, and then you'll be good to go!

For non-European students, it's a little more complicated—but not much! Non-European students who need a student visa to study in Spain can continue to live and work in Spain under an Internship visa which can be extended for up to 2 years after their studies at ESEI. After 3 years of legal stay in Spain, you can then apply for a work permit.

Do you offer housing services on campus?

We know that many students coming to Barcelona looking to study a Bachelor in Spain are looking for housing options—and we hear you!

Our campus facilities do not include student dorms. However, we do provide a list of student residences close to our campus where you can live as well as student accommodation agencies that help you find your ideal home in Barcelona, with attractive promotional codes specific to our students.
