I have attended ESADE (MBA and Ph.D. coursework) and have hired MBAs from IESE and BMI. Let me know if there is anything you would like to know about the value of the MBA from any of those schools. I do not recruit from EADA.

Full Disclosure: I am participating in the FIND MBA board as an excercise to provide an illustration for a segment I am teaching of the course "What the CEO wants you to know" at BMI www.barcelonami.org One of the readings for the segment is www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/wired40_ceo.html…………… Click on Post MBA for more biographical info.



Why do you recruit from BMI over EADA?

Are you saying that because you don't recruit from EADA that its students aren't as well prepared for the workforce?

I'm curious. I saw in another thread that EADA has very good job placement rates.

Also... I went to a middle tier American university for my undergraduate degree. The company I ended up working for made a point not to recruit from my university, even though it is nearby, because there are other universities with better reputations also in the area. However, my education was very decent and I was able to network and be offered a job at the company before I even graduated. So; I think as long as you are a motivated individual you won't have trouble finding a good job after graduation.

I think I got a better deal than some of my ivy leauge co-workers who will be paying down their college debt for the next 10 years! (I didn't have to take out any loans.)

Hello All,

Afer working 2 years in Barcelona as expatriate, I went back to my country and working in the same company here. I am searching for MBA programs in Barcelona. My intetion is to move back to Barcelona and while doing a MBA program, to work at the same time.
Anyone knows which universty and MBA program in Barcelona is more suitable to my intention. Moreover, I should find a job ( engineering) in Barcelona, do you have idea where ( which internet site) can I search for such jobs (for foreigners) ? Actually though I stayed in BArcelona 2 years, my Spanish is not fluent. I do have more 2 years of work permision in Spain.

ugur--

do you want to get an MBA in English or in Spanish?

Is the price important?

Have you taken your GMAT? How competitive of a candidate are you?

As it says all over this messageboard, IESE and ESADE are the best programs in Barcelona.

EADA is a second tier, but still very good school with accrediation.

UPF isn't acreddited but has a good local reputation.

All of those schools offer both full and part time MBAs in both English and Spanish.

There may be other programs that offer only Spanish instruction, but I have only been looking at the ones that offer English.

There are other, smaller programs, in Barcelona (like BMI, I don't remember the names of the others) that teach in English but their credibility seems questionable based on comments on this board.

If you want to go to a prestigious, world-renowned school, IESE or ESADE is for you.

If that's not important, and you just want a good quality education for a cheaper price, try EADA or UPF (aka Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
