Living in the city
Barcelona today is a bustling, modern hub built on a human scale. Getting around is fast and efficient. High-speed trains connect you to major Spanish cities and France. Barcelona’s Metro system is one of the best in Europe and the newly modernized bus system runs 24 hours a day – so you can get home no matter what time your event finishes. But the best way to move around is often on foot. In Barcelona, there are delights to discover around every corner. A city for cyclists, sports enthusiasts, culture vultures, foodies and art lovers, Barcelona is an exciting, diverse, dynamic and affordable place to live, study and feel inspired. CEMS MIM and MSc programmes are taught in Campus Sant Cugat, which is a city 15 km outside of Barcelona and it is easily accessible with frequent local train connection.
CEMS Club Barcelona
Student clubs form an integral part of Esade’s student community and give you the chance to develop your leadership skills, widen your interests, build a solid professional network and forge life-long friendships. CEMS Club Barcelona is a student organization connecting CEMS Students, CEMS Alumni, Corporate Partners and Academic Members. Its aims to enhance the student experience through social and professional events, while engaging in humanitarian activities, promoting the CEMS Master in International Management and strengthening the relationships between all stakeholders.
