Welcome to learning

The founders of ESIC in 1965 probably asked themselves "why" and "what for" they wanted to create an educational institution especially focused on the world of marketing. The answer they gave themselves was: "to help companies develop through the analysis and relationship with markets, that is, through the practice of marketing", because this discipline had not yet taken root in Spain. The Congregation of the Priests of the Heart of Jesus was aware of the needs of companies to have good professionals whose knowledge was up to date and who could face the challenges of that time.

Half a century later at ESIC we have asked ourselves the same question: What are we training for? And our answer is still inspired by the principles that inspired the creation of the School, although logically adapted to the challenges presented by a globalized, digitalized and rapidly changing economy.

As an academic institution, our mission is to train people in management, marketing, innovation and digital skills with a global and comprehensive vision throughout their professional life. With the purpose of promoting the transformation of students so that they can develop successfully in their professional life in a responsible way and be actors of change in organizations and society.

We make our students a promise of transformation. We are interested in the exit profile they offer once they have completed any of our vocational training programs. And we want to maintain the relationship with them to respond to the needs they feel throughout their career.

To serve this purpose, ESIC has a faculty with a strong academic profile and close ties to the business world, 123 strategic agreements with universities and business schools around the world, 12 campuses in Spain, agreements with 2,500 companies to facilitate the employability of our students and an alumni network of more than 62,000 professionals.

Our educational model is a combination of knowledge, values and experiences. As knowledge evolves rapidly, the key is to teach how to learn, to activate students' curiosity so that they can adapt with agility to a constantly changing environment.

Each student has the opportunity to configure the experience at the School in his or her own way, combining classroom activities with the mobility that new technologies facilitate. All of us at ESIC, especially the teachers, are at their side to accompany, guide, teach, understand and motivate them... in moments of discovery, satisfaction and celebration, but also in moments of doubt, error and pain.

At ESIC we teach to learn and we learn every day with the experience of our people. Welcome to the school of learning.
