Looking to change direction? Want to start your own business and get back to work as soon as possible? Our MBA is designed to meet your requirements. Irrespective of the format you select, all participants start the Full-Time MBA at the same time, graduate together, and are required to complete the same number of credits.
12 Months
Core + Electives
In some individual cases where strict requirements are met, a 12-month MBA "fast-track" program (Core Courses + Electives) is possible. Your final course length decision won't be required until as late as the end of Term 3, around April/May.
15 months
Core + Electives + Internship or Exchange
Others have professional commitments that require a more streamlined 15-month program, which offers the core, electives, and your choice between an internship and exchange.
18 months
Core + Electives + Internship + Exchange
Most students choose everything that an Esade MBA has to offer over 18 months. Here you’ll pursue the core curriculum and electives. But you’ll also have a chance to take an internship and broaden your global vision with an exchange.
