Best Bachelor in Business to lead Businesses in any Industry!

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.

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.

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 course normally takes place in August and January each year.

First of all, we want you to know that we want you here, too.

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.

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!
