Frequently asked questions
How much does the Esade Master in International Management cost?
Tuition for the one-year MSc in International Management is €39,000 for the 2027–2028 cycle — the intake Esade's current calendar is admitting to — plus a €150 application fee. It was €37,500 in 2026–2027. Esade charges the same figure whatever your nationality; there is no EU / non-EU split. Extending into a two-year option is published as a total rather than an add-on — €55,200 for the CEMS MIM, €60,300 for a second Esade MSc or a partner-school double degree, and €82,200 with a Global Master's. Esade offers need-based scholarships covering 50–85% of tuition and Excellence Awards typically worth 10–50%.
When are the Esade Master in International Management deadlines?
Esade publishes nine staged deadlines for the September 2027 intake: 1 October 2026, 19 November 2026, 14 January 2027, 18 February 2027, 18 March 2027, 22 April 2027, 13 May 2027, 3 June 2027 and 1 July 2027. They are submission dates inside a rolling process rather than competitive rounds — the Admissions Committee assesses each complete file roughly a month after the stage it meets. Applying early still matters, because Esade itself warns that by the end of May there may be very few places left on your first-choice programme. No work experience is required. The calendar is the one Esade publishes for its MSc programmes as a family, so confirm it against the programme page before you plan around a late stage.
What is the Esade Master in International Management class profile?
The cohort is strikingly international — students come from 42 nationalities across five continents, with backgrounds spanning economics and management, engineering, the humanities and the social sciences. The programme is taught in English and emphasises diverse teamwork throughout.
Do you need a GMAT for the Esade Master in International Management?
No — the GMAT is optional for the Esade MiM. Esade accepts the GMAT (including GMAT Focus), GRE, or its own Esade Admissions Test, and applicants may also choose not to submit a test score. No minimum score and no class average are published. An admitted applicant who shared their profile on GMAT Club reported a GMAT of 670 (Q49/V32), with three months of work experience.
What careers do Esade MiM graduates pursue?
Esade's Class of 2024 data reports an average salary of approximately US$80,308 (PPP-adjusted), with 92% employed within three months of graduation and 31% working abroad. The school's five named top recruiters are McKinsey, BCG, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. These are Esade's own cohort-level figures — distinct from the Financial Times weighted three-year salary of about US$117,000, which uses a different multi-year methodology.
From the forums
Self-reported posts from applicants and students on public forums — useful colour, but anecdotal and unverified. Not official school data.
An applicant described the Esade MiM interview as 'the most calm I've done' — a 50-minute conversation covering cultural experiences and career plan A/B/C scenarios rather than a case or technical test.
An admitted applicant compared Esade tuition (~€33k at the time) against IESE (~€45k) and IE (~€43k), framing Esade as materially cheaper while still competitive on rankings and placements.
Sources
- Esade Business School — Master's in International Management (programme overview). ROUTE CORRECTED 2026-09-07 (P36c): the URL recorded against this profile used the singular /program/master-in-... path, and while the overview itself still resolves, its /admissions and /career-future children both 404 — the live estate uses /program/masters-in-international-management/... Separately, the URL the queue had filed as the Esade blocker, esade.edu/en/programmes/masters/master-science-international-management, 404s because the whole MSc estate sits under a different path prefix (esade.edu/master-of-science/en), not because Esade refuses us. The page's own Program Details block reads 'Duration One academic year – Full Time – 60 ECTS / Start Date: September 2027', with study tours and a 3–6 month internship both listed as optional ↗ — Esade Business School

- Esade Business School — MSc fees & financing. FEE CYCLE READ AT SOURCE 2026-09-07 (P36c) and confirmed identical on the programme's own fees page and on a cache-busted re-fetch. The table is headed 'MSc Tuition Fees 2027-2028' and reads 'One year program €39.000' over a list that names the MSc in International Management, so the €37,500 this profile carried is the 2026-2027 figure and the 2027-2028 cycle — the one the profile's own nine staged deadlines belong to — is €39,000. Esade quotes ONE figure for all nationalities; there is no EU / non-EU split. Global Master's are €43,200 (fees stated to cover housing during the Global Immersion Program, but not flights or meals). Two-year totals are published as totals, not as add-ons: CEMS MIM €55,200, MSc Esade + MSc Esade €60,300, MSc Esade + MSc Partner School €60,300, MSc Esade + Global Master €82,200.
