Your first professional experience, in Spain or abroad
The syllabus of Esade’s Bachelor of Business Administration includes a semester-long compulsory professional internship during the fourth year. Your BBA studies will culminate in this definitive learning experience, which will allow you to add professional experience to your CV.
In addition, in the summer of your third year you will be able to carry out a voluntary solidarity internship in a developing country.
