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 first 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.

Prof. Maria KoutsovoulouAcademic Dean

Thomas Allanic Programme Director

the unique model of escP europe is based upon its five 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 five countries where escP europe is present, students can benefit 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 five 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 first learn about the various fields 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 qualification by, for example, studying core business modules in the first 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 fields 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 reflected 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 five 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.

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 five 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 reflection 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.

ESCP Europe and European GovernanceThe School’s legal support is provided by the Paris Ile-de-France 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 Ile-de-France 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 chamber of commerce and Industry of the Paris Ile-de-France region 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.

“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 finding 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’.”

“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.

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 final study year in order to gain in-depth professional experience in one or two companies anywhere in the world. This often helps to fine-tune their career objectives and to decide which specialisation and/or electives they wish to pursue in their final 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).

apprenticeship & Part-time trackA one or two-year apprenticeship during the Master in Management programme is possible at the Paris campus. (Please note, students are required to be fluent 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.A further opportunity to combine a prestigious master in management degree programme with continuous in-company work experience is the two-year part-time version for employed candidates offered at the Berlin campus. Students will spend eight weeks per year on different ESCP Europe campus supplemented by mandatory online modules.

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 benefit from the internationality of the programme. During the first 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.

Sports clubs and activitiesSports activities have a long tradition at ESCP Europe, and the Paris campus alone offers around 30 different disciplines. London campus students have access to the various sporting facilities at City University, and the Torino campus organises an annual regatta, bringing together both students and alumni.

A strong sense of school spirit and community is a defining 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 fifty 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 five 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 first place, the event allows for excellent group bonding and the continued development of team-building skills.
