The recognition of ESADE as the world’s #1 school for mixture of academics and business professionals is a result of our efforts to close the gap between the classroom and the real world.’
By categories, the ESADE Full-Time MBA was ranked #1 worldwide in mixture of academics and business professionals, #2 worldwide in healthy supportive competition, and #5 worldwide in skills directly applicable to real-world business situations, inspiring ethical careers and connecting to international recruiters. Moreover, the ESADE programme was ranked #1 in Europe in the aforementioned categories.

In addition to assessing each programme’s excellence in training and career development, the ranking also considers aspects such as healthy supportive competition and teamwork in the classroom as well as the capacity to inspire ethical careers. In each of these areas, ESADE was ranked in the global top 5 and #1 in Europe. ‘The hallmark of ESADE has always been the school’s focus on teamwork and skills directly applicable to real-world business situations and commitment to society from the perspective of professional leadership,’ commented Dr. Franch. ‘Therefore, being ranked as Europe’s top school in these areas is just about the best possible recognition of our efforts.’
The ranking was based on the opinions of 10,500 graduates of 125 business schools who were interviewed as part of Bloomberg Businessweek’s traditional Full-Time MBA ranking.
