Prof. Edouard Husson Dean 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 Schools 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 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 Europes 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.

AN INTRODUCTiON TO THE MaSTER iN MaNaGEmENT

The unique model of ESCP Europe is based upon its 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 ve countries where ESCP Europe is present, students can benet 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 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 rst learn about the various 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 qualication by, for example, studying core business modules in the 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 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 reected 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.

PROgRAmme OBJecTIVes

a The h wiT
With its 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 incompany 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 todays 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.

THe WORLDs FIRsT BUsINess ScHOOL (esT. 1819)

ESCP Europe, the Worlds 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. On the 1st December 1819, the Worlds First Business School is established by a group of economic scholars and businessmen in Paris. Since this debut, ESCP Europe had a Global Perspective as one third of its students were international. On 5th April 1973, the concept of ESCP Europe as a multi-campus business school is born. Inaugurations of campuses in the United Kingdom and Germany soon follow. This landmarks the Schools deep European Identity. The School expands its borders once again, by opening its 4th campus in Madrid. ESCP Europe enters Italy with its 5th campus in Torino, Italy. ESCP Europe is founding partner of heSam, a consortium of renowned institutions for research and higher education structured around the SorbonnePanthon University.

Five campuses in major European cities

PARIS: The Paris campus is conveniently located in the centre of the city. It is the largest of ESCP Europes 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 Schools 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 reection 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 START@EUROpe INTRODUcTORY semINAR

To immerse our students in the Schools European dimension, each September all 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 policymaking. The students also take part in a negotiation role-play to increase their insight. The Start@Europe seminar, jointly organised with the Ecole Nationale dAdministration (ENA) and supported by the city of Strasbourg and the ESCP Europe Foundation, is yet another indication of the Schools commitment to Europe. The students, who come from more than 70 different nationalities, work together within the Parliament over a threeday period to obtain European awareness, crucial when undertaking the Master in Management.

BENOt, French
I wanted to live in different European cities during my studies, and I dont 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.

ELENA, Italian
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.

SARAH, British
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.

CAsPAR, German
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.

XIAOxU, Chinese
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.

CRIstINA, Spanish
The School is really supportive when it comes to nding an internship. In London, I worked in the City for a subsidiary of the Socit Gnrale. It was a fascinating experience for me, coming from Spain and then working in London for a French bank! It didnt take long to understand the meaning of multicultural.

VIKRAm, Indian
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 VARIATIONs Of THe TwO-YeAR MAsTeR IN MANAgemeNT pROgRAmme

Pre-Master
The Pre-Master Year is particularly designed for students coming from the well-known French Classes Prparatoires, 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.

19

International Seminars
Alongside 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 benet from the internationality of the programme. During the 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.

Gap Year
Several Master in Management students decide to take a gap year before their nal study year in order to gain in-depth professional experience in one or two companies anywhere in the world. This often helps to ne-tune their career objectives and to decide which specialisation and/ or electives they wish to pursue in their 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).

Apprenticeship & Part-time track

A one or two-year apprenticeship during the Master in Management programme is possible at the Paris campus. (Please note, students are required to be 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. 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.

Innovative pedagogy based upon case studies, instruction from visiting executives and ESCP Europes 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.

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 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 multicampus 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 Schools sporting, networking and social calendar. Around 500 participants sailed together in 2011, manning 42 yachts around Ischia, Italy. Working in teams to take rst place, the event allows for excellent group bonding and the continued development of team-building skills.

Student Union
Elected by the students, the Students Union plays an important role in the interface between the student body and the administration on the different campuses. It provides a discussion forum and proposes ideas on a wide range of topics concerning student life.
