So EAE is not a good school for mba? what about MSc in Management? And what about EADA program International master of management?

Nina, every school is a good school, depends on what you are looking for. EAE has no accreditation, very young curriculum and the level of people going there is still internationsl but very average profile, quite difficult to find outstanding people there. You might find asshole in IESE too, but in much lower percentage.

Very diplomatic James, but no every school is good. The MBA is a good investment and you have to see really well where you will invest your time and money.

i agree with Mario. You should really make sure that you invest your $$ in the right program. You will only do one MBA in your life, and therefore it should really make a good choice. Look deeper than the website, browse the internet to find out about reputation and track records and contact your local education services for additional information.

I wonder about recognition of credits earned in Spain by Latin American business schools. Does that require an agreement between each school individually? Who knows details about which Spanish school guarantees such recognition?

Credits go depending on the schools. Of course Spanish schools which are accredited have big restrictions, this is why they are allied only with important institutions of Latin America

So I will check that out with the IESA, the school offering MBA in Caracas. They definitely have some integrated exchange program with business schools world wide, but I'll have to find out what that means in terms of credits.

In Spain that exchange progran includes only IE and Esade. Esade asks this hight tuition I would like to avoid. But IE's tuition is a lot cheaper I think, and it does so good in the rankings, wow. Must not be easy to be admitted there.
Someone having applied at IE can tell me about that? Thanks.

Yestarday in "El Pais" appeared a special aboput education in Barcelona and was just mentioning the three top schools in Barcelona IESE ESADE and EADA, it is of course in Spanish.

Interesting Article james, I should post it as a new issue to make people aware.

Thanks a lot

Since the awareness of those scholls is growing in Spain, the newspapers are dedicating lots of spaces of the growing phenomenon, which is the way it should be. Three spanish schools are in the top twenty in the world.

Hi,

I am Carlota form US.

I have just visited the school and passed the exam in EADA, I have had a deep interview straight with the Director and I have had a great perception of the school and the atmosphere.

I have met some alumni and i must say they were really professional people and especially, very committed with the school.

Do you guys have some more direct feedback on this school in Barcelona, besides those i have already read?

Regards

Carlota

Carlota,

I think there is enough feedback in these forum. Which other school have you visited?

Besides Carlotta, give a help to Mahdiar which is in the sport MBA forum. He is quite lost and some bad guys are making him believing of a Real Madrid MBA.

Hi, I have also seen that this school is also ranked this year in the latest Economist ranking.

I consider this now a very interesting option.

Could you support this? I need feedback.

Yes EADA is ranked

I must say that barcelona really offers a lot, i was impressed to visit such big schools in the same city.

In india we do not consider SPAIN AS A PALCE TO DO mba.

Anyway i am considering EADA as an option because I confirm Carlota's opionion and i have seen other forum and got lots of different good comments.

Hi Sanjey,
why don't you consider in India Spain as a place to do an MBA??
Kata

Well Katalina,

Spain it has never historically been a country to do MBA, it has always been US, then later Uk. Also for the language.

I was sincerely surprised to see the level of the spanish schools and the position in the rankings. It is new for us, there was no tradition, but with such a quality statements, three reanked schools in the same city and all extremely international, i am definitely going for it, because everything can be in English In barcelona.

Sanjay

Hi,
I was very surprised too, especially when you compare Spain to countries like Italy, where there is almost nothing offered!

Anyone has info about IESE in Barcelona?

Hi Katalina,

IESE is one of the best school in the world, offers a two tears programme which costs 60'000 euros, is oficially part of the Opus dei Movement and has classes of approx. 70 people.

May I help with something else?
