Programme Questions

Our International MBA has a one year duration.
However, it is possible to extend your programme for up to a year and a half without any extra cost. This means that you can choose whether to complete your programme in two or three semesters

Our International MBA programme is run on weekdays in the evenings from 6pm to 9pm. You will have classes 2-3 times per week, which allows you to work and study at the same time. Additionally, if you are a non-EU student who requires a student visa to study in Spain, our International MBA programme meets the student visa requirements of full time study in Spain.

We recommend that you attend all classes, but we understand that sometimes it can be impossible. Therefore, our International MBA programme attendance policy allows you to miss 2 out of 6 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.

Each module within our International MBA programme has 4 assessment components: a group submission (40%), an individual submission (20%) and a formal oral presentation (20%) for your module project, as well as a participation grade (20%) based on your participation during classes.

Yes! Within your classes, 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 on specific areas in business, 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.

If you are looking for an internship, 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.

Our International MBA is accredited by Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM). UCAM is a state-accredited and top-ranking Spanish university that validates and jointly awards the International MBA degree.

This means that upon completion of the programme, you will receive two separate degrees: a private degree from ESEI International Business School and a “titulo propio” from UCAM.
We have partnered with UCAM because we believe that it is important for an Best International MBA programme to be validated by an institution with high academic standards and with a proven track record of delivering high-quality education.

Upon successful completion of the programme, you will obtain two degrees: a private Masters degree from ESEI International Business School, and a título propio universitario from Universidad Católica de Murcia (university qualification awarded directly by UCAM). The title of both degrees will state the following depending on the chosen specialisation: International MBA in (name of specialisation: Business Management / Digital Marketing / Marketing and Communication / Tourism and Hospitality Management / International Relations and International Business).

You'll be presented with your ESEI International MBA diploma at our graduation ceremony, which typically takes place in July. If you need proof of your degree completion for work or other reasons, we can provide a signed letter to use as proof until you receive your actual diploma. If you are eligible for the UCAM degree, it will arrive up to 12 months after completing the programme requirements.
You can email us at[email protected] if you have any specific questions about your diploma or degree.

General Questions

You can apply to ESEI at any time during the year. However, because we have limited places in our International MBA program, we do recommend that you start your application sooner rather than later to guarantee your spot.

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

If your Bachelor degree has a duration of less than 4 years, you can still apply for our International MBA program. In this case, you will need to send in your full academic records and Bachelor degree diploma to us to fully review your previous studies.

We want people to succeed. And we know that sometimes, the biggest obstacle in your path is banking on a future above your budget. That's why we offer scholarships and a host of other financial aid options to support students who are committed to their personal and professional development.

The compact and intense nature of our International MBA programme makes it difficult for our students to have an exchange semester abroad, due to the fact that our curriculum must be completed within an academic year.

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 studied the Best MBA in Europe. 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.

We know that many students coming to Barcelona looking to study and MBA abroad 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.
