Each week, International Business Programs will be spotlighting one of our partners through the Magellan Exchange network. The Magellan Exchange offers students an affordable opportunity to study abroad and get fully immersed in the educational and social life of their host country. Rather than pay a program fee, students pay MSU in-state tuition. Students can choose from semester or academic year programs. Summer, short-term programs, and internships are available in some locations.

 

This week’s university spotlight is the ESERP Business School in Barcelona, Spain!

Students may apply for a semester or academic year.

Fall Semester: mid-September to early February*
Spring Semester: early February to early June

*If the student leaves before the end of the fall semester
in February, some possible exams could be done at the
home university, but this must be carefully organized in
advance and cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, spring semester participation is recommended.

 

ESERP offers Bachelor courses in International Business, Marketing, Law, and Criminology, with all courses taught in English. There are also some internships available!

Some ESERP courses taken by MSU students in the past include: Commercial Techniques, International Marketing, Marketing and E-Commerce, Marketing Project Management. Students will work with IBP to find courses that align with their degree.
