Financial Times ranks Esade among top 10 schools worldwide for a Master in Management
The latest Financial Times Masters in Management ranking has placed the CEMS Global Alliance MSc in International Management, offered in Spain only by Esade, in the global top 10. Specifically, the CEMS programme took the #8 slot, climbing one position from its ranking the previous year. In the new ranking, published today, the British newspaper placed Esade’s own MSc in International Management in the #11 slot, making Esade the top school in Spain for the Masters of Science (MSc) in Management category.
Josep Franch, Dean of Esade Business School, commented: “Masters of Science in Management provide a high level of training and professionalisation. These programmes are designed to meet employers’ demand for talented young people with the potential to pursue an international professional career in complex, diverse and multicultural environments. In addition, we have created the Esade Rambla of Innovation – an innovative learning ecosystem made up of seven learning labs where education merges with innovation and experimentation. The best way to learn is to experience first-hand the reality that companies and organisations face.”
Esade has been a pioneer in offering Masters of Science in Management at the global level. In 2007, the school introduced the MSc International Management – which has just been recognised by the Financial Times – and the MSc in Marketing Management. Now, more than a decade later, Esade’s portfolio includes a wide range of MSc programmes, including the MSc in Finance, the MSc in Global Strategic Management, the MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and the MSc in Business Analytics, which have drawn 550 students, 91% of whom is international, representing a total of 67 nationalities.
