EADA vs UPF-BSM/IDEC


gmc18

Hello everyone.

I am about to graduate in Political Science from UCM having spent 2 out of the 4 years of the program abroad; firstly at Warwick uni and secondly (now) at UPF.

I decided not long ago that i wanted to complement my education with a Msc in business and since I wanted to remain at Barcelona I applied to three schools: EAE, EADA and UPF's barcelona school of management.

The program is a similar one. Msc of Science in International Business at UPF and International Msc in Management at EADA. (EAE was soon discarded as I grew suspicious of their aggresive marketing methods and dubious rankings)

Now I have -thankfully- made it thru the last stages: i got the spot at UPF and tomorrow i will be doing the interview at EADA.

Given things go well and I have a choice...where do I go??? Im struggling to find someone from the business industry who can give a clear and direct answer. That's how I found this awesome site (where I got some tips for EADA's interview btw, thanks guys!)

UPF is really good in business as we all now...but EADA is ranked in a prestigious ranking like the FT (top 20 in the world for my program) while UPF's doesnt even appear- being in its infancy the cause that is taking a toll on their recognition internationally at the rankings, i guess

For instance, the Msc at UPF is only 3 years old..!

I know for sure that if i go to UPF i will reach my objective: to get a solid business education in english and eventually get a job in the wide business industry (or god knows where, but at least to be more employable)

But my question is...if I choose EADA...will the difference be that big?

Thanks in advance...

EADA is a much better option. UPF is a great school for research into economics, but its management school is very weak. If you want to get a job then of course the best thing would be to study outside Spain, but otherwise the ESADE or EADA MSc programmes are much better than the UPF's management courses.

Thank you Duncan, I appreciate your help.

Truth is I feel bad about bothering all of you about this... soon after posting my request I found a lot of threads talking about it!

Given the choice I think my mind is made up. Thanks again Duncan & the rest of you who contributed to external threads about it.
