ESADE Barcelona building
History
ESADE Campus
The ESADE project was conceived in the spring of 1954 by a group of Catalan professionals and entrepreneurs who later founded the university. After signing an agreement with the Jesuits (Societas Iesu) in October 1958, ESADE was born and started offering its first academic programmes in a small building in the district of Sant Gervasi, Barcelona.
Since then, ESADE has steadily grown in terms of size and the range of courses, leading to the enlargement of its intallations to create a campus which, if the premises in both Madrid[1] and Barcelona[2] are included, currently covers an area of 30,000m2.
A new executive centre was opened in 2003 in Buenos Aires,[3] Argentina: the Foundation for Business and Social Development.
ESADE is currently engaged creating the ESADE-Creapolis,[4] a new campus situated in Sant Cugat del Vallès, originally a market town but now an overspill area for Barcelona.
Mission
The stated mission is to: "advance education and research in business management and law; contribute to the scientific, social and humanistic training of highly skilled individuals; foster individual dignity based on Christian traditions, and on intercultural dialogue".

Controversy
The Financial Times noted that: "The Forum spent more than €400m ($540m) organising a six-month cultural festival in Barcelona in 2004 – an event that was widely condemned as a flop and a waste of taxpayers’ money". According to the same newspaper, fallout from that event now threatens commercial relations between Spain and the US [5].

Career services
One of the most important decisions candidates will have to make during the MBA programme is choosing a future career. At ESADE Business School, this decision is as important to the student as it is to the Career Services team.
Given the relatively small programme size, Career Services is able to provide a high degree of individual attention. Partners in helping candidates achieve their professional objectives, Career Services works closely with students to identify goals and design action plans to meet them. The team's aim is to provide lasting skills that will help students effectively manage their careers over both the short and long terms.
Although working as an integrated service, support to candidates falls under three main heads: Employer Relations, Advice & Guidance and the Career Resource Center (CRC).
Employer Relations
The Career Services Employer Relations team is in constant contact with the international business community and frequently travels to develop and nurture relationships as well as to promote candidate profiles. In 2005, Career Services managed over 4,000 internship and job advertisements from 1,500 organizations around the world. These companies count on ESADE to provide management-minded professionals through multiple channels, which include on-campus Talent Recruitment Events and publishing vacancies on the student employment portal.
Advice & Guidance
An effective career search has clear goals and objectives that are implemented early following a precise action plan. Readily available to provide students with personalised attention, the Advice & Guidance team helps candidates develop and meet their professional objectives and has developed the Career Management Programme to do just that.
The Career Resource Centre (CRC)
The CRC houses the following resources:
· Databases to perform industry research
· Trade directories to find specific company information including Bloomberg
· Company archives including annual reports and company brochures
· An extensive library covering all career development aspects
· Business-specific and job market-related press and magazines
· Vault and WetFeet Guides
· Resources for working abroad including work permit information
In addition, the CRC is available on-line through the MBA student portal, which enables students to efficiently manage their internship/job search and applications. Through the portal, students can access internship/job offers as well as many of the CRC's career development resources.
