The Esade Full-time MBA accepts one intake per year and classes start in September. The program is flexible, which means that students can decide to complete the MBA in 12, 15, or 18 months. Classes are conducted from Monday through Friday. The first seven months of the program consist of obligatory core courses followed by the electives phase. Esade has bilateral agreements with universities around the world and approximately 35 percent of MBA students participate in an exchange program. If demand is high for limited places at a particular university, you will be evaluated on the basis of your academic record and a personal interview. However, exchange program participants don’t have to take an exam or complete an application form.
