ESADE is recognized as a semi-target for investment banking in London, often referred to simply as "the City." This means that while it may not be on the same level as some top target schools, it still holds a respectable position and its graduates have viable pathways into investment banking roles in London. This is evidenced by the fact that several ESADE alumni are working in London in investment banking roles, despite the school being located in Spain.

Yeah they are known as one of the good Spanish schools, as Nova is for Portugal or WHU is for Germany.

But it’s not a target if you are an international student I would say.
