Internships
Thinking About Changing Career Paths or Learning About New Possibilities
Internships could be the key. If you pursue the 15 or 18-month MBA program, you'll have access to worldwide internships to put your knowledge into practice and gain experience in the field.
It's the perfect opportunity to show potential employers what you can do — which is why many businesses end up offering Esade MBA interns permanent posts after graduation. It’s also a chance to see if the reality of your chosen career matches up to your expectations.
An internship is considered a curricular activity, graded and with 3 ECTS, that will show in your academic records and transcripts. In order to obtain the credits for an internship, you will need to provide:
Agreement/ confirmation by company
Interims status report
Final Internship report
Company Evaluation
Companies including Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Santander, and Deutsche Bank use Esade internships as a recruitment tool. And you’re not just there to learn — you’re there to add value and tackle real challenges. That’s why the average mean salary for students on internship is €3,014. Most students (80%) stay in Europe, but you have a world of opportunities open to you in Asia, Latin America, Central, and Eastern Europe, Africa, and North America. Marketing and sales is the most common functional area for internship students but many others are given responsibilities in consulting, finance, management, and operations.
Internships are optional. During your internship, you'll be guided by an academic tutor and a professional tutor in the company where you carry out your internship. They will guide you and monitor your learning and progress with the aim of ensuring that you make the most of this unique experience.
