Faculty Member of Institute of Healthcare Management at Strathmore Business School, Kenya“Esade provided me with a richly multi-cultural, and intensely stimulating intellectual environment to develop myself as a researcher and academic. Moreover, we were able to leverage its partnerships with other elite institutions to access opportunities to study as visiting scholars elsewhere within Spain, Europe and the Americas - opportunities that would have otherwise been hard to come by. In brief, and in my humble opinion, if you truly desire to become a well-grounded researcher, academic or policy influencer, then Esade is for you”
