A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Prof. Edouard HussonDean of ESCP Europe Business School

Founded in 1819 by a group of businessmen and economic

scholars in Paris, ESCP Europe is the oldest business school in

the world and has formed generations of leaders.

Since its very beginning, ESCP Europe has focused on its international

dimension: even back in 1824, 30 per cent of the class were

international students coming from 15 different nations. The

School’s more recent history is characterised by a distinct

European vision, especially with regards to its values and

integration process. In 1973, campuses in Germany and the UK

were created, and the pioneering model of the fi rst multi-campus,

pan-European management school was born. Campuses in Spain

and Italy followed in 1988 and 2004 respectively. Today, over 100

partnerships with schools both in Europe and worldwide complete

this European calling in the context of an evermore globalised

world.

Approaching its 200th anniversary, the ambition of ESCP Europe is

to continue the development of a European management culture

through academic excellence, and to prepare future leaders

to respect humanist European values such as transversality,

creativity and diversity.

The cultural and social diversity of our student body, the latter

of which we foster through a system of scholarships, complete

ESCP Europe’s humanistic vision of business management.

The Master in Management programme perfectly embodies

academic excellence within a multi-campus business school,

allowing us to form managers with a strong understanding of

European economic and cultural realities for the world of tomorrow.

The credo of Europe is to remain faithful to its humanistic

principles, while at the same time anticipating the new ways of the

world - and such is the aspiration of ESCP Europe.

ESCP EUROPE AT A GLANCE

Prof. Maria KoutsovoulouAcademic Dean

Claudine Bertin-LordProgramme Director

The unique model of ESCP Europe is based upon its fi ve urban campuses

and offers the possibility of an integrated pan-European curriculum.

This allows our students to experience living and studying in different

countries and different languages, without having to compromise on

academic excellence.

In all fi ve countries where ESCP Europe is present, students can benefi t

from our extensive network of companies, institutions and organisations.

The Master in Management offers the opportunity to obtain the national

diplomas of each of these fi ve countries. If they wish, students can

also spend one or two semesters at one of our many partner universities

worldwide, where in some cases they can also be awarded an additional

diploma.

During the two-year Master in Management programme, our students

fi rst learn about the various fi elds of business management at an

advanced Master level before acquiring deeper knowledge in one of several

specialisations. These specialisations include the classical business

functions, for example Finance and Marketing, but also other areas such

as Media Management and Public Administration. A student can therefore

obtain a dual qualifi cation by, for example, studying core business

modules in the fi rst year at the London and Paris campuses, before

spending a second year specialising in entrepreneurship in Madrid,

sustainable development in Berlin, or a variety of fi elds at a partner

university.

A thorough understanding of Europe is an important learning objective of

the Master in Management, and ESCP Europe offers several seminars to

enhance this experience. At the beginning of the programme, the whole

class meets at the European Parliament in Strasbourg for three days in

order to learn and experience the complexity of EU decision-making.

Despite its strong European identity, the Master in Management also has

plenty of time for world affairs. This is refl ected through international

internships or periods of study in such exciting cities as New Delhi,

Moscow or Shanghai. The number of job offers our students receive and

the bright career paths they then follow all over the world serve as a

testimony to the relevance of the unique experience ESCP Europe has

to offer.

ESCP EUROPE: Five campuses in major European cities

THE WORLD’S FIRST BUSINESS SCHOOL (EST. 1819)

With its fi ve campuses in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid and Torino, as well as partner universities worldwide, ESCP Europe offers its students a truly exceptional international exposure. During their time on the Master in Management programme, all students spend time abroad for study and in-company experience. We offer the opportunity for each student to build his/her study track based on the academic content and their choice of campus. Essential in today’s global life, we also offer our students the possibility to learn and improve in several languages, either through dedicated courses or simply by living and studying in different countries. As a direct result, many of our students speak three or more languages by the time of their graduation.

1819

1921

1973

1988

2004

ESCP Europe is established by a group of economic

scholars and businessmen in Paris.

It becomes the World’s First Business School.

ESCP Europe celebrates its 100th anniversary, postponed due

to the post-war crisis, in the vast auditorium of the Sorbonne.

The concept of a multi-campus business school is born

through the inauguration of campuses in Germany and the

United Kingdom.

The School opens its 4th campus in Madrid.

ESCP Europe enters Italy with a 5th campus in Torino.

ESCP Europe, the World’s First Business School, was founded in 1819 by a group of economic scholars and businessmen, including the well-known economist Jean-Baptiste Say and the celebrated trader Vital Roux. Say was an advocate of economic liberalism and is often credited with having coined the concept of entrepreneurship as early as 1800. Roux is particularly known for having largely contributed to the elaboration of the Commercial Code in 1807, as well as for his up-front thinking in innovative pedagogy. One can therefore argue that the creation of ESCP Europe represented the invention of the ‘business school’ concept.

PARIS: The Paris campus is conveniently located in the centre of the city.

It is the largest of ESCP Europe’s fi ve locations, hosting the greatest

number of faculty and students as well as one of the most prestigious

Grandes Ecoles in the country. With extensive on-campus facilities and

several student clubs and associations, a strong sense of school spirit

and community prevails.

LONDON: Located in West Hampstead in northwest London, this

campus offers students state-of-the-art facilities in a traditional Victorian

building. The bright city lights and the business community are only a

tube ride away, while the fashionable area of West Hampstead offers a

broad cultural experience away from the hustle and bustle of inner-city life.

BERLIN: The Berlin campus is located close to one of the historical

centrepieces of Berlin, the Charlottenburg Palace. Located in baroque

gardens, it overlooks the School’s beautiful late-19th century building.

Throughout the year, there are events and conferences on the latest

business issues. The Berlin campus is a staatlich anerkannte wissenschaftliche

Hochschule in Germany.

MADRID: Located only a couple of metres away from the National Park

of Monte del Prado, the Madrid campus is an ideal place for students to

focus on their studies and professional development. The surrounding

gardens and parks set the scene for the hard work and personal

refl ection necessary during the development of managerial competences.

TORINO: The Torino campus is located in a beautiful building with modern

facilities. Torino is one of the main business centres of the Italian

economy and home to many architectural masterpieces. It is also one

of the favourite student cities in Italy. The Torino campus has strong

relationships with a number of Italian and international companies,

which contribute to its governance.

THE EUROPEAN SCHOOL

WITH A WORLDWIDE VISION

ESCP Europe and European GovernanceThe School’s legal support is provided by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which is a member of the Charity, the Asociación and the Verein, and one of the three founding members of the Fondazione and the Associazione.

The European Board formulates the School’s strategy. It brings together representatives of the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry, of the national boards and of the Advisory Board.

This Advisory Board is composed of company executives and representatives of the economic, institutional and cultural worlds. It aims to present the School with different perspectives and make sure that academic programmes are in line with tomorrow’s corporate challenges.

Created in 2005, the ESCP Europe Foundation provides active support for the School’s development projects.

ESCP Europe Business School is a composite entity, bringing together the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry in France; a Charity in the United Kingdom; a Verein in Germany; an Asociación in Spain; and a Fondazione coupled with an Associazione in Italy.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

AT AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD

The School offers academic excellence at an international standard. This

is recognised by several national and international rankings, in which

ESCP Europe is regularly placed in the top positions. In particular the

multicultural and international dimensions of the programme are

consistently recognised.

The Master in Management programme consists of an international

student body representing: over 70 countries; multicultural group work;

geographic mobility in terms of countries of study and internships; and

an internationally renowned faculty. Amongst participants, the largest

numbers come from France, Germany, Italy and Poland. 14% come

from Asian countries, with Chinese and Indian students most highly

represented.

“Teaching is about creating contexts wherein students can discover new approaches to understand better who they are; unlearn to learn; and address complexity and make sense of it.”Sylvain Bureau, French, Ph.D. (Ecole Polytechnique)Professor for Entrepreneurship, Paris and Madrid campus

“Teaching Master in Management students is a remarkable opportunity to share and discuss cutting-edge knowledge with highly talented individuals who continually impress me.”Othman Cole, British, Ph.D. (Judge Business School, University of Cambridge)Professor of Finance, London campus

“Teaching Master in Management students from all over the world is truly valuable for a professor; learning to grasp the real diversity of backgrounds and cultures in our student body translates into an amazing human experience.” Véronique Tran, Swiss, Ph.D. (University of Geneva)Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Paris campus

“Teaching to me means using key research fi ndings to stimulate clever and demanding students to look at things from new angles.”Valentina Carbone, Italian, Ph.D. (Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées)Professor of Supply Chain Management, Paris campus

“Teaching Master in Management students means to me to show how sustainability is

not just a fashion – it is the future.”Sylvie Geisendorf, German, Ph.D. (Kassel

University)Professor for Environment and Economics,

Berlin campus

“For me, teaching Master in Management students means participating in a chorus

of perspectives, the like of which I’ve rarely experienced elsewhere.”

Luca Visconti, Italian, Ph.D. (Bocconi University)Professor of Marketing, Paris campus

AN OUTSTANDING FACULTY COMMITTED TO THEIR STUDENTS

The faculty INTERNATIONAL EXCELLENCE

ESCP Europe’s 127 full-time faculty members devote a large portion of

their time to research in order to develop and disseminate knowledge

at the forefront of their fi elds for the benefi t of students, corporations,

and society as a whole. They regularly publish their work within leading

international outlets, and are active members of national and international

research networks. Moreover, each faculty member has one day per

week for consulting activities and as such stays closely connected to the

business world.

127 professors make up the ESCP Europe full-time faculty. The School also has more than 80 affi liate faculty members and some 700 part-time professors and working professionals. Each year, the School welcomes over 40 visiting professors from leading universities around the world.

12

15

The ‘Start@Europe’ seminar, jointly organised with the Ecole Nationale

d’Administration (ENA) and supported by the city of Strasbourg and

the ESCP Europe Foundation, is yet another indication of the School’s

commitment to Europe. The students, who come from more than 70

different nationalities, work together within the Parliament over a three-

day period to obtain European awareness, crucial when undertaking

the Master in Management.

To immerse our students in the School’s Europeandimension, each September all fi rst-year Master in Management students will experience a three-day seminar at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. During this seminar, students attend conferences given by experts on the issues surrounding the economic, institutional and cultural aspects of European policy-making. The students also take part in a negotiation role-play to increase their insight.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME

BENOÎT, FrenchELENA, Italian

CRISTINA, Spanish

“I wanted to live in different European cities during my studies, and I don’t regret a single moment of my time at ESCP Europe! The School has given me the chance to study alongside students from different backgrounds and cultures and to learn to work in different ways.”

“Living and working in different countries is a learning experience in itself. During my internship I worked in three languages every day, communicating with suppliers around the world. I know that I now have more career opportunities owing to my international exposure.”

“Coming from a German university, I can say that living and studying at ESCP Europe has really been different. The contact with the faculty and working relations with fellow students are genuinely close; we formed a tight community.”

“The School is really supportive when it comes to fi nding an internship. In London, I worked in the City for a subsidiary of the Société Générale. It was a fascinating experience for me, coming from Spain and then working in London for a French bank! It didn’t take long to understand the meaning of ‘multicultural’.”

SARAH, British

XIAOXU, Chinese

VIKRAM, Indian

“From London to Paris to Berlin, I learned two languages and cultures. I specialised in entrepreneurship. The programme is like two masters in one, a sound overview of business topics, followed by one of many specialisations. Now I am ready for an international career.”

“Course quality at ESCP Europe is excellent. A huge variety of electives enabled me to prepare well for my job interviews. I will never forget my time at the oldest business school in the world.”

“I chose ESCP Europe because it offers an immense opportunity in terms of international exposure, foreign languages, a competitive student body and an illustrious reputation. I have the freedom to tailor my own course of study and have the opportunity to go on an international exchange to virtually any continent in the world.”

THE ESCP EUROPE EXPERIENCE FROM THE STUDENT POINT OF VIEW

THE ‘START@EUROPE’ INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR

14

17

The Master in Management programme consists of four semesters with a total of 120 ECTS credits. These semesters can be completed at our different European campuses or at one of our partner universities worldwide.

The fi rst year is focused on advanced learning within the different fi elds of management through core modules and a selection of electives. Through these electives the student can explore a specifi c area of interest in more detail.

The second year can be used to concentrate on one of several possible specialisations, and is also used for the writing of a Master thesis on a topic of the student’s choice. Further to this, students can choose from a rich catalogue of electives to further customise their learning experience and plan their professional career paths.

SPECIALISING WITHIN A

GENERAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

1ST YEAR: ACQUIRE GENERAL MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE

2ND YEAR: SPECIALISE IN ONE OF SEVERAL AREAS

During the fi rst year, students have compulsory courses in the different

fi elds of management, effectively offering an education in general

management studies. Depending on their previous studies, students

may obtain waivers and take electives instead. While prerequisites

and some of the core courses are offered at the Paris and Madrid

campus only, the majority can be followed at all ESCP Europe campuses

(except Torino). Double or triple degrees are also a possibility, although

obtaining these relies on specifi c language requirements and other

conditions. Please see the Admissions section of this brochure for more

information.

Specialisations are either 120 or 240 hours in length, with different options

at our campuses. Students also have the possibility to choose electives from a

catalogue of more than 140 different options; examples include Business Ethics,

International Capital Markets, Negotiation, Social Entrepreneurship, Social Media

and Viral marketing. Finally, many students spend one or two semesters of their

2nd year at one of our partner universities.

SPECIALISING WITHIN A

GENERAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

THE VARIATIONS OF THE TWO-YEAR MASTER IN MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

Pre-MasterThe Pre-Master Year is particularly designed for students coming from

the well-known French Classes Préparatoires, but students having

completed at least two years of university-level education outside of

France are also eligible. The Pre-Master Year, totalling 60 ECTS points,

is devoted to gaining insight into the fundamentals of management,

including introductory and advanced concepts to foster your understanding

of the world of business. There are also courses in social sciences,

law, economics and foreign languages. The Pre-Master Year combines

mandatory courses, interdisciplinary projects and an internship. Students

can spend the Pre-Master Year in Paris or Torino.

Gap YearSeveral Master in Management students decide to take a gap year before

their fi nal study year in order to gain in-depth professional experience

in one or two companies anywhere in the world. This often helps to

fi ne-tune their career objectives and to decide which specialisation and/

or electives they wish to pursue in their fi nal year at ESCP Europe. If

students take this option, the Master programme can take up to four

years to complete (with a minimum of two years of studies and two gap years).

ApprenticeshipA one or two-year apprenticeship during the Master in Management

programme is possible at the Paris campus. (Please note, students

are required to be fl uent in French and should not be older than 26 in

order to take this option.) It combines in-company work experience with

academic coursework at ESCP Europe and includes a semester abroad

at an international partner university or at one of our other campuses.

Students participating in this programme variation pay no fees for this

period and additionally receive a salary from the respective company

they work for.

International SeminarsAlongside the core courses, electives and specialisations, all students

will participate in one seminar per semester (four in total). These are

key moments in the Master in Management, with all current students

coming together to benefi t from the internationality of the programme.

During the fi rst seminar, ‘Start@Europe’, more than 700 students gather

at the European Parliament in Strasbourg to immerse themselves in the

complexity of European decision-making. The second seminar consists

of a three-day simulation game wherein students learn to combine the

different business areas and experience the links between them. The

third seminar prepares students for the writing of their Master thesis.

Finally, the closing seminar, ‘Business in Europe’, consists of a series of

plenary sessions and discussions with notable guest speakers from a

variety of companies and international institutions.

EXPERIENCING CORPORATE

AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE

THE ESCP EUROPE CORPORATE RELATIONS TEAM

The Corporate Relations Teams on our various campuses provide assistance

with internship offers, as well as a comprehensive portfolio of personalised

careers advice, CV clinics, and help with interview techniques.

Throughout the year, the local Corporate Relations Teams invite companies

and recruiters to meet Master programme students for presentations and

interviews. These events are a great opportunity to establish important

contacts, to talk to professionals and to discuss career opportunities.

Innovative pedagogy based upon case studies, instruction from visiting

executives and ESCP Europe’s partnerships with leading companies

ensure the link between in-class theory and the reality of the business

world. The integrated internship is a key aspect in this approach.

At least 39 weeks of professional experience, of which 20 weeks must

be in a position of managerial responsibility, are expected from the student

in order to graduate. These 39 weeks of in-company experience

include all of the placements completed by the student, including those

carried out before joining ESCP Europe. Students acquire an average of

16 months of work experience during the programme.

CORPORATE LIFE AND INTERNSHIPS

During their studies at ESCP Europe, students have several opportunities to experience corporate life and to participate in various student associations.

These activities offer not only social benefi ts, but also crucial hands-on experience to prepare them for their future job search.

both students and alumni.

A strong sense of school spirit and community is a defi ning characteristic of ESCP Europe. Involvement in extra-curricular activities and student associations is strongly encouraged; we consider it an essential part of personal well-being and professional development.

Student life on each of the campuses is shaped by the initiatives and activities offered by some fi fty clubs and associations which organise networking, and artistic and cultural events, political discussions, sports tournaments, social events, humanitarian activities, etc.

THE ESCP EUROPE REGATTA: STUDENTS AND ALUMNI SAIL TOGETHER

The ESCP Europe Regatta symbolises what ESCP Europe is all about. Once a year, students from all fi ve campuses, as well as members of staff, faculty and alumni, gather in Italy for a weekend at sea. The event is a unique opportunity to fully exploit the potential of a multi-campus school and to strengthen and broaden the group spirit key to the ESCP Europe community.

The ESCP Europe Regatta has become a landmark in the School’s sporting, networking and social calendar. Around 500 participants sailed together in 2011, manning 42 yachts around Ischia, Italy. Working in teams to take fi rst place, the event allows for excellent group bonding and the continued development of team-building skills.

where ESCP Europe has a campus. The cost of living varies between €650 and €1,000 per month in

Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Torino, but can be more expensive in London (up to €1,400).

ScholarshipsESCP Europe strives to attract the best students, regardless of their fi nancial background. As such,

the School offers a selection of need and merit-based scholarships. Around 400 are awarded every

year, representing a total of €1,500,000.

It is also possible to attain scholarships granted independently of the School. For further information

please write to: scholarships@escpeurope.eu.

• ESCP Europe scholarships fi nance 25% or 50% of the Master Year 1 tuition fees (reserved for

EU students). Awards are made based on social criteria. French students should apply for Higher

Education Grants awarded by the CROUS.

• Non EU applicants joining the programme through the International Admissions Service Test (SAI)

will be awarded scholarships based on merit.

• Some countries provide scholarships for their own citizens. Please obtain information in your

home country by contacting the relevant government bodies and foundations.

Other sources of fi nancial aid include:• Income from paid internships: while the salaries offered can vary signifi cantly, most students

receive between €400 and €1,900 per month during their internships. In many cases, work

permits are not required as the internship is a compulsory part of the curriculum (please check

with local requirements).

• Campus jobs: several jobs on campus are available and paid by the hour.

• Bank loans: tuition fees for the Master in Management represent around half a year’s salary of the

average graduate during his/her fi rst job. Therefore, many banks offer student loans at attractive

rates, with deferred pay back.

• Apprenticeships: tuition fees are covered by the student’s employer (Paris campus only).

Costs and fi nancing

Students who wish to obtain a double degree from one of our partner universities usually spend

their second Master year abroad. For specifi c questions on double degrees in conjunction with
