Course recommendations

ESADE was a good choice for me because it offers a large range of high quality marketing courses. I could deepen different aspects of this issue, when studying CRM, international marketing or even consumer behavior.

I arrived in Spain one month before the beginning of university for an internship. At the beginning, it was sometimes difficult to understand everything but I could learn quickly working all the day in spanish in the company and speaking with my collegues.

Final comments

Barcelona is a great city. It offers to students both culture and social life. Housing is an important aspect of the experience: it is a real job to find a place, in a good district, with nice people. You should go a few days before the beginning of university to visit different apartments.
