ESCP Europe is a business school with campuses in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Turin, and Warsaw. Established in 1819, it is the oldest business school in the world,[1] and considered one of the best European business schools (among the top 10).[2] Its programmes are triple-accredited by the international AMBA, EQUIS, and AACSB. The school's notable alumni in business and politics include Olivier Blanchard (former IMF Chief Economist), Franck Petitgas (Global Co-Head Investment Banking of Morgan Stanley) Christophe de Margerie (former CEO of Total) Patrick Thomas (former CEO of Hermès), a former Prime Minister of France, Jean-Pierre Raffarin and the EU Commissioner for Internal Market and Services Michel Barnier. ESCP Europe has a total of 45000 alumni all over the world.

History

Foundation in 1819

The school was established in Paris on 1 December in 1819 as the world's first business school[3][4][5] by a group of economic scholars and businessmen including the well-known economist Jean-Baptiste Say and the celebrated trader Vital Roux. It was modeled on the first Grande École, the École Polytechnique founded by Lazare Carnot and Gaspard Mong, but was initially much more modest, mainly because it had not been supported by the state. It gradually gained in stature and importance during the 19th century and moved to its current Parisian location on Avenue de la République in 1898.

ESCP Europe original buildings in Paris

In 1828, the project to put the school under the authority of the French Ministry of Commerce and Industry failed. The school remained independent by the intervention of Jérôme-Adolphe Blanqui who took it over. Several times during the first half of the 19th century French politics planned on grouping ESCP Europe with French elite engineering schools such as École Polytechnique or École Centrale Paris but that never happened. From 1838, the French state began to give scholarships to ESCP Europe's students and in 1852 it accredited ESCP Europe's programs.

Finally, in 1869 the Paris Chamber of Commerce bought the school to train future business leaders to modern commercial methods. It is worth noting that until 1870 there was only one business school in France: ESCP Europe. In 1892, ESCP Europe set up selective admission processes which still take the form of competitive exams.

A paneuropean school since 1973

On April 5, 1973 the concept of a multi-campus business school was founded with the consecutive inaugurations of campuses in the United Kingdom (London in 1974, move to Oxford in 1975) and in Germany (Düsseldorf in 1975, move to Berlin in 1985). Since then, the school has deepened its European presence to become an integrated paneuropean business school:

Campus

6 campuses in Europe

ESCP Europe students have the opportunity to study in campuses in France[6] (Paris), in the UK (London), Spain (Madrid), Germany (Berlin), Italy (Turin), and Poland (Warsaw). They can spend either 6 months or 1 year on each campus according to their study choices. Each campus has its own specificities and develops programs with local academic institutions. For instance, in Spain ESCP Europe provides a Master in Business Project Management co-delivered with the Technical University of Madrid.

The Master in Management programme is nationally recognised in each of ESCP Europe's home countries. Consequently, students enrolled in the Master in Management can obtain up to three national different degrees according to their campuses of study:

The Master in European Business programme is a degree accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) in the category of Masters in Business and Management (MBM). Students enrolled in the Master in European Business are eligible to obtain up to three national different degrees:

Programs

Bachelor in Management (BSc)

The Bachelor in Management is an undergraduate programme that spans three years, three countries and three languages. It is a general management programme that combines management subjects (i.e. marketing, economics, law, finance) with training in languages, liberal arts/humanities and personal development. It is a Certified Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Management fully compliant with the Bologna process introduced by the European Union in 1999. Students spend their first year in London, their second year in either Madrid, Paris or Turin, and their third and final year in Berlin.

Master in Management (MiM) - Grande Ecole

Overview

The Master in Management is a two-year, pre-experience full-time general management Master programme which provides the opportunity to study in up to three countries, with options ranging from ESCP Europe's own six European campuses to approximately 70 partners worldwide. Designed for students with bachelor's degrees (or equivalent) in any field of study (Master programme) or those without who have previously completed at least two years of university education (Pre-Master programme in preparation for the two-year MIM), it features more than 20 specialisations in Finance, International Business, Marketing, Sustainable Development and many more.

Placement

Students enrolled in the ESCP Europe MiM program usually join top institutions in banking, consulting, strategy, marketing, communication or industry. ESCP Europe is a target school in very prestigious banking institutions (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan & Co., Lazard,...) and consulting firms (McKinsey & Company, The Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company,...).

The latest annual placement survey[7] shows that new ESCP Europe graduates earn on average €53,346 and 97% of searching graduates found their jobs within 6 months. They are 41.8% working outside their home country. Right after the MiM, 31% and 21% of ESCP Europe students work in consulting and finance respectively.

Master in European Business (MEB)

The Master in European Business (MEB) is a one-year full-time postgraduate programme in general management with emphasis on a pragmatic approach to management. The programme is designed for graduates who have an undergraduate honours degree in any non-business discipline (i.e. law, engineering, sciences, humanities, medicine). Based on an MBA-style curriculum, applicants should have at least two years of significant professional experience although sometimes candidates might be accepted with less work experience. All students are selected by means of their academic and professional credentials and the successful completion of an assessment center including various interviews and a verbal-logic test (GMAT or SHL Test). There is a strong international side to the course and in 2008/09, there were 39 different nationalities across the five campuses.

One year Msc and MS Programs

There are more than 20 full-time Specialised Masters on offer at ESCP Europe, accessible to holders of an approved first degree and subject to a selective competitive entrance exam. Altogether, there are about 700 students studying for these one-year Specialist master's degrees.

Currently, programmes are offered in the following subjects:

PhD Program

The purpose of the ESCP Europe Ph.D. program is to train research-active professors and high-level consultants in the field of Management Science. Based on a "European degree course", jointly organized with several academic partners, the ESCP Europe Ph.D. program enables participants to develop knowledge through research and to take positions in the academic community anywhere. Program participants are potential faculty recruits for graduate schools of management (Grandes Ecoles) in France, universities or international companies. The ESCP Europe Ph.D. program is highly selective and admits only a limited number of participants. Certain degree candidates may obtain the status of Research Assistant and receive financing for the duration of their thesis.

The main disciplines covered are:

Executive Education

Executive MBA

The Executive MBA is not a European tradition, and has long been considered a lesser degree than pre-experience master's degrees.[12] This is changing rapidly however, with the internationalisation of study programs and competition among the world's best business schools.

Other Executive Programs

ESCP Europe also offers several intensive modules for executives (open enrollment programmes) and highly customised programmes adapted to the needs of specific companies and organisations. Open programmes invite participants from different companies to learn together in intensive modules ranging from a couple of days to a couple of weeks and covering a wide range of business topics such as Business 2.0 or Supply Chain Management. Customised programmes are exclusively designed according to the needs and preferences of a specific company.

International Academic Partners

ESCP Europe offers to its students a range of dual degrees and exchange programs with academic institutions from all over the world.
