Programme: Bachelor of Business Administration-BBA 3rd year
I'm 19 and I'm in my third year of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) at ESADE. After earning an International Baccalaureate at SEK-Catalunya, I began to consider my academic and professional future. At age 15, I discovered that I wanted a career in management. With this in mind, I found that ESADE was the best option to boost my career prospects.
From the moment I entered ESADE, I knew I had made the right decision. Although the course is tough and demanding, it also offers innumerable advantages, such as the values of hard work and professional dedication that are taught to students.
I know that studying at ESADE brings all sorts of possibilities. I serve as the President of the ESADE Student Association Coordinating Committee and as the Communications Officer of the Finance and Economy Group, the university's finance association. I have also served as class representative since my first year at ESADE. One of the things I value the most is that the ESADE university experience goes far beyond the classroom. Student associations have helped me to better understand the reality of the business world and the complexity of my future job. All this, plus the university's high academic standards and thriving international community, have made me truly satisfied to be studying at ESADE.
