Business and Humanities for Social Impact Esade

Overview

Becoming an impact entrepreneur or an impact-driven manager for social impact is a lifelong journey. Within the four-year timeframe of  Business and Humanities for Social Impact programme at Esade , our goal is to give you the tools you need to create economic, social and environmental value, no matter where you are. In BITLASI, we believe that high-quality knowledge is essential — but knowledge alone is not enough. In today's interconnected world of rapid innovation and pressing global challenges, true professionalism extends beyond theoretical understanding. It encompasses social and environmental sensibility, practical application, global awareness, and a commitment to continuous learning.

60% business, 25% Humanities, 15% Technology: 100% transformation for Social Impact. BITLASI covers three crucial fields of knowledge:

Business with Social Impact: You’ll learn entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, operations, corporate strategy, design thinking, and more as tools for sustainability and social impact. How? Not attending separate subjects but in collaborative, cross-cutting projects. 

Humanities: More than ever, leading entails facing ethical dilemmas. By learning self-awareness, philosophy, anthropology, sociology and psychology and more, you’ll gain a critical edge and a good understanding of the world and of your place in it.

Technology: BITLASI will help you develop skills and knowledge of AI, Big Data and more, and learn how to apply their power to solve human problems. ​
