Invisible but Essential: Diversity at Esade
When MBA student Emile Kobiyama asked, “What is invisible but essential about Esade?” he inspired this diversity-awareness project. By sharing the varied backgrounds, motivating stories, and remarkable journeys of people at Esade, the project gives incoming students a preview of the open and welcoming community they are about to join.
Esade does more than just respect diversity; it is defined by diversity
The school was founded in 1958 on the belief that business – and society – is fundamentally about human potential. Esade is a place where students of different cultures, nationalities, genders, religions, ages, and ethnicities can realize that potential. By removing barriers to inclusivity, and helping all voices to be heard, the school continues to provide a rich and diverse learning environment, where new ideas and new talents can prosper and grow.
Actively Supporting Diversity: Scholarships
Esade and its partners actively increase the diversity of the Full-Time MBA program by offering scholarships to outstanding candidates. As well as talent- and need-based scholarships for women and for candidates from different regions of the world, there is also a specific Esade MBA Students Fund Diversity Scholarship.
International Student Profile: A World of Ideas
Business is increasingly globalized, but there is no such thing as a global business culture. Managing international teams means getting the best from people with very different backgrounds, motivations, assumptions, and mentalities. It means finding strengths in differences and uniting to achieve common goals. At Esade, that is an everyday experience.
Talented students from every part of the world join the MBA program each year. Together with Esade’s international faculty, this varied student body enriches the range of ideas and knowledge on campus.
