[edit] History

ESCP Europe in Paris, avenue de la République. The dedicated building was completed in 1859

ESCP Europe is the result of a merger in 2000 of two institutions: the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris and the EAP (Ecole Européenne des Affaires).

The École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris was founded in 1819 by a circle of economists and traders including the famous economist Jean-Baptiste Say and the banker Vital Roux. As such, it is the oldest establishment dedicated to business and finance teaching in the world. It was modeled on the École Polytechnique founded by Lazare Carnot and Gaspard Monge, but was much more modest in its beginnings, 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 location, avenue de la République, in Paris, in 1859. The 20th century gave importance to business studies, and soon enough the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris saw its importance rise. Its popularity meant it had to develop a rigorous selection process. By the mid-20th century, the school was considered an elite institution and admitted its students after two years of dedicated preparatory classes through a competitive entrance exam.

The EAP (European School of Management) was created in 1973 as a result of a European initiative to create a trans-national elite business school. From its inception, the school had campuses in four major European cities: Paris, Oxford, Dusseldorf, and Madrid. The Dusseldorf campus moved to Berlin in 1984. Students were recruited after two years preparatory classes in France and after a Bachelor's degree in the UK through a competitive entrance exam.

In 2000, the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris merged with the EAP-Ecole Européenne des Affaires to form the ESCP-EAP European School of Management. This merger was the starting point for the new long-term strategy of the school to train managers able to adapt to any culture and work in any country and to gain international visibility. It adopted the slogan "Learn everywhere, Manage anywhere". In 2004 it added a campus in Turin and in 2005 it moved its Oxford campus to London.

In April 2009, the school decided to change his name from ESCP-EAP to ESCP Europe.

[edit] The Master in Management

ESCP-EAP Turin

The Master in Management - MIM is a pre-experience program enrolling strictly selected students. It is the flagship programme of the ESCP Europe. In that it exemplifies the two century long standing of this French originated, now European "Grande Ecole". Each year, over 4,500 candidates apply for 475 places in the three-year programme. Over 52% of students are from outside of France, representing 70 nationalities in total. Some 100 additional places are available for direct entry straight into the second year of the program.

Once enrolled, students have the choice of studying for three years in Paris ("Paris-International") or to study each year in a different country. In the case of the latter, they receive the following degrees:

However, from September 2008, students will now be able to resort to a more flexible curriculum : they will have to choose a campus for the 1st year (Paris, London or Turin) and they have to follow suit for the two following years (choice among Paris, London, Berlin or Madrid).

The ESCP Europe Master's in Management was ranked second best in the world in 2008.[7]

[edit] The Master in European Business

ESCP Europe in Hampstead, London

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). Professional experience is not an admissions requirement but those with up to three years experience are encouraged to apply. There is a strong international side to the course and in 2008/09, there were 39 different nationalities across the five campuses.

The MEB is taught over two semesters, with students based in a different country for each semester (chosen from Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin and Turin). There are also international agreements with partner institutions where students can spend a semester and receive a double degree awarded by these institutions:

The MEB has AMBA accreditation in the category of Masters in Business and Management (MBM).[6]

A non-exhaustive list of disciplines covered is:

  • Marketing Management
  • Operations Management
  • Financial Strategy
  • Business Strategy
  • International Management
  • Operations Management
  • Economics
  • Quantitative Methods

Students also work on two compulsory consultancy projects, working alongside a company to deal with a real and concrete need.

[edit] The MBA

The MBA is not a French tradition, and has long been considered a lesser degree than pre-experience Master's degrees[8]. This is changing rapidly however, with the internationalisation of study programs and competition among the world's best business schools.

EXECUTIVE MBA
European Executive MBA ranks 19th (by January 2009) in the world and 7th in Europe in the current Financial Times ranking[9].

The Financial Times also qualify the Executive MBA with other criteria such as:

  • 2nd worldwide for career progression;
  • 3rd worldwide for aims achieved by our graduates;
  • 5th worldwide for international course experience;
