Esade Executive MBA ranks 7th in Europe according to QS
The Esade Executive MBA ranks #7 in Europe and #11 in the world, according to the 2024 Executive MBA 2024 Executive MBA ranking published by QS, also responsible for the Top Universities and Top MBA rankings. This outstanding position is due particularly to Esade’s global leadership in the categories of career advancement and student diversity, and its #8 ranking for reputation amongst employers in Europe.
Joan Rodón, dean of Esade Business School, has no doubt that “this acknowledgement of our Executive MBA reflects the program’s ability to advance our students’ careers. At the end of the program, participants have acquired the skills and knowledge they need to be leaders in an ever-evolving global market fraught with intense geopolitical change.” “During the program, 50% of participants experience a career change such as a promotion or change of company or new business venture – a figure climbing to 75% two years after completing the program,” added Rodón.
Impactful innovation and globalization
The Esade Executive MBA stands out thanks to its innovative teaching methodology combining a blended online-presential approach to tackling real-life case studies in different business models and cultures from around the world. The program features a comprehensive educational experience delivering not only work in the classroom, but also international immersion stays in Europe, Asia and the United States, plus the chance to study optional subjects at prestigious business schools outside Spain.
“This unique experience gives executives a global vision of the business world, enabling them to anticipate new trends creatively, lead business transformation and drive positive change in their surroundings,” pointed out Joan Rodón. He also mentioned Esade’s humanist approach to leadership training, with its focus on commitment and social impact
A program with diversity and flexibility
Another key feature making the Esade Executive MBA different is classroom diversity. In terms of gender and internationality, “almost half of participants are women and we have executives of 42different nationalities, which further enhances classroom learning.” To cater for this diversity and also for students’ personal and professional needs, the program is available in three formats: hybrid: online with four residential units in Madrid and Barcelona; monthly face-to-face on both campuses; and weekly face-to-face in English, taught exclusively in Barcelona.
