By virtue of the alliance agreement that already lasts 5 academic years, the participants take the master's courses of ESIC taught by teachers of the senate who move to Granada in order to do so. The academic direction, the program and the degree/certificate obtained are issued by ESIC, so that the programs given are the same as the ones in Madrid or any other headquarter of ESIC.
ESIC is a member of the AEEDE, Asociación de Escuelas de Negocios de España, an organisation including the 12 most important business schools of Spain. It was created with the purpose of fixing certain rules and a minimum organization in quality Master's education.
