In an official event, marked by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Spain, ESADE Business School inaugurated their brand new campus in San Cugat on the outskirts of Barcelona yesterday.

The new 20,000m² campus is the first of its kind to be specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Bologna Process (a European initiative aimed at harmonizing higher education and allowing increased freedom of movement, among other objectives) which has implied huge changes to the undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in Spain and other European countries.

An early adopter, ESADE brought their university programmes into line with the new requirements early on, and two years ago the school launched their Masters in International Management and their Masters in International Marketing Management. Both programmes have proved very popular with young international students wishing to gain a further insight into business before starting their careers. 88% of the programmes’ participants come from outside of Spain.

The opening of the new campus in San Cugat has allowed the school to meet the increased demand for the “Bologna Masters” programmes and last month ESADE launched a new Masters in Finance programme which attracted students from all over the world.

In his inaugural address to students of 38 different nationalities on ESADE’s MSc and undergraduate programmes, the Prince highlighted the role of new entrepreneurial initiatives, such as ESADE’s San Cugat campus, as “seeds of the future” essential to the task of modernizing business structures. He also underlined the need to “adapt and innovate in a climate of constant change.”
