How Students Rated This University
- Overall Satisfaction 4.1
- Student Teacher Interaction 4.2
Good business exposure
I really enjoyed my experience at Esade. The program gave us the freedom to explore the business aspects of problems in our projects and assignments, which made the learning process more engaging and practical. Most of the lecturers brought real-world business experience to the classroom, offering valuable insights and advice grounded in practice.
Strong European MSc
One of the top-rated universities in Europe with a really strong MSc programme. The professors are genuinely involved in helping you get the best learning experience possible. There are plenty of opportunities through projects and assignments, which let you explore valuable insights from both well-known and lesser-known companies.
Great communication between professors and student
Education wise, they're not the best. Most of the professors are using old ways of teaching and testing the students. But, some professors are actually great, such a shame it's rare to find a good professor though. Management wise, the place is straight up unorganized. The employees don't know how to do the simplest paperwork to exist. Personally I would've rated it 4-5 stars if there's slightly better learning tactics by the professors and better management by the management team.
