Frequently asked questions
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.
