I studied International Business at ESCI, and overall, I had a really solid experience. The program is well-structured, with a strong focus on real-world business cases and international trade. Most professors had actual industry experience, which helped bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Classes were interactive, not just lectures—there were a lot of group projects and presentations, which pushed me to improve my communication and teamwork. The workload was demanding at times, especially during the final term, but it never felt unmanageable.
The location in Barcelona is a huge plus. It’s a global city with a diverse student body, so you’re constantly exposed to different perspectives. The campus itself is modest, not huge, but it’s clean, well-equipped, and in a good area.
One area that could improve is career services. While we had some job fairs and guest lectures, I felt there could be more consistent internship support. A few classmates found placements through their own contacts instead.
If you’re looking for a hands-on, internationally-focused program in a lively city, ESCI is a solid option. I’d recommend it to students who are self-motivated and want a practical business education with a global outlook.
