More than 45 universities have participated in the business course Business 360, organized by the Business Club Pedralbes. This course intended to give an insight to different jobs in the economic world. It has been divided into three sessions, all in the premises of IESE Business School.

In the first session, Peter H. Spoto, consultant at McKinsey, dealt with the topic in a great closeness way. He explained firsthand the great features of the consultancies and their work within them, what are the advantages and disadvantages, ways to access to the labour market, the weekly schedule of a consultant and many other details of the consultancy. There was also a question time that Peter answered in depth.

In the second session we had as rapporteur David Sánchez, founder and CEO of dormity.com, the leader company of mattress in Catalonia. It was a great presentation on entrepreneurship. He told us from the beginning to the upcoming projects, through their experiences and the changes that market has undergone. David knew how to transmit his passion for the world of the mattress and strategies to continue to lead the sector. From a very close point of view, he answered all the questions that participants did to him.

For the last session, on investment banking, Cristina Badenes explained very clearly the various sectors that you can work within the world of banking and possible investments. Cristina, with much experience in this area managed to convey to the participants for their enthusiasm for this work without sacrificing the hardness. She also gave good tips to all attendees and answered all the questions they asked, besides having the pleasure of staying a long time talking with students after the session in order to go into detail about some issues that were addressed in her presentation, helping with concrete advice to those who asked.
