ESEI International Business School (reviews)

Firstly, if you are a non European, studying here is a waste. The degree is not valid anywhere, not even in spain. You won’t be able to extend your visa after the 10 months of your course. My honest review and my struggle is what am pouring down here. I passed out July 2022. They will promise you and send you a link mentioning that visa can be extended. But the answer is NO. Not with a degree here. Why ? When you go for visa renewal after the 10 months, you will be told ESEIs degree is not valid for the same. You will come back to the university , they will send you a link, that will options saying you can extend your visa if you have an internship or job after your course(which is obvious) , second apply for a job seeker visa, but you need to show a lot of amount for the 1 year stay in your bank account, third they will ask you to take another short course or language course to extend. What’s the point!! Also if you go ahead and decide to take one option. The university’s degree is not valid anywhere in Europe. If you are a non European and applying for a full time job anywhere in Europe the degree won’t be valid. Now they will say “UCAM” certified they are. Which you won’t get anytime soon, considering you urgently want to extend your visa before it expires. They won’t let you do more than one internship. If you get internship at another place and your classes are about to end, they won’t help you in any way. 🙂 there are other universities in Spain which you can consider and Germany would be a good option. For anything that you want to know in detail, look for non Europeans who studied in ESEI and talk to them. Do not trust the Indian and other Non-European “working” at ESEI. They are the ones who lied to me to get in.

Taking the inaugural Master in Sports Management programme, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I quickly realised the approach to education (project-based with real case learning) was much better than anything I’d previously experienced.
The quality of teaching varied between each module though I was able to take a lot away from every single teacher, and on the whole the standard was excellent. Even for classes, I wasn’t expecting to love (Ethics, for example) I ended up really enjoying it.
I was fortunate to be in a small group of only 4 students so our interaction with the professors was very personal and I maintain contact with most of them. Most teachers were willing to help me in my career by introducing me to contacts in their network, for which I was very grateful.
One thing for sure is that you get out what you put in. The school doesn’t mollycoddle you, nor does it implement strict pass/fail tests. Regularly doing further research of subject material and independently expanding one’s network is key to success. Saying this, for me, it never felt like ‘work’ as it was all really interesting and enjoyable.
I’d recommend this course to people who are serious about starting a career in the sports industry.

The experience at ESEI has been enriching and fun!
Teachers are passionate and love what they do.
The Campus is beautiful and the staff is extremely kind, helpful and supporting.
I took the right decision 🙂

First of all, I am really satisfied with the professors who teach at ESEI. They all have a lot of experience and they show much enthusiasm about their profession and personal experiences in their way of teaching. Next to this, the group projects we have to execute are very up-to-date and connected to often big brands or companies. This makes it interesting and instructive to work on.

The most thing that I like in ESEI is that it is located in campus Pedralbes which is full of sun and beautifull surrounding.
To be honest I dont like the way they arrange classes. Sometime they come everyday of the week. And sometime just one or two.
About teachers, can’t be denied that they are all enthusiatic and dedicated, however, there some teachers who speak not clearly enough so it’s hard to follow them.

My experience in ESEI is not done for now but I can give my opinion since I am attending this international business school for 7 months. In ESEI the programs are very diverse and they allow us as students to choose what fit our interest. The programs ask us to work in a efficient way at home.
Only bad point for me, it could be more organized. But ESEI is doing a lot to improve this.

It’s not even a proper Uni. There is no library.Basically they are only looking after your money.
The education is very poor regarding the master’s and it’s just a waste of time and of money. You do not really have classes, it’s only module. The longest module that we had is maximum 5 modules. How can you become an expert in just 5 modules? It’s impossible. Most of the modules last 3 courses. In some classes we just spent most of the module watching videos on YouTube.
If you just want to have some fun and a relaxing year then it’s just for you.

The school is actually pretty good and i am really filling my self learning more about the business world, also the learning how to interact in a professional environment.
The professors are so helpul and there objective is to transmit the knowledge to the students
