\u00ab\u00a0Madrid is where one learns to understand.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> That is how Ernest Hemingway<\/strong> expressed his intense connection with the Spanish capital, fueled by much more besides the art, history and beauty that permeate the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As those who know it deeply often say, Madrid has nothing, yet it has everything<\/em>. No major river cuts it in half or sea washes its borders, nor does it carry a unique historical heritage on its shoulders. It is all about its soul<\/strong> and its thousand personalities<\/strong>, capable of arousing admiring wonder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, Madrid is more an experience than a city<\/em>. One that speaks simultaneously to the mind and heart of those who live it. Like the students of ESCP Business School<\/strong>, for example, who can choose this destination among the six prestigious European campuses<\/strong> offered by the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow us through the discovery of the ESCP Madrid Campus<\/a><\/strong> and the city that has been able to rewrite the meaning of the verb vivir<\/em><\/strong> (to live).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

‘Garbo’ and the legendary madrile\u00c3\u00b1o attitude<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Madrid simply has ‘garbo<\/em>‘, the elegance, grace, style, and sensual allure that fascinates visitors and newcomers in a blink of an eye. Therefore, it is not surprising that the city is one of the most visited in Europe<\/strong>, offering a unique mix of lifestyle, gastronomy, and thousands of places to visit, including some of the most prestigious museums in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every corner reveals something able to surprise and delight. From Puerta del Sol and the Plaza Mayor to the Plaza de Espa\u00c3\u00b1a, from Malasa\u00c3\u00b1a to the Bernabeu football stadium, it’s not just the sheer size of the city and the number of its attractions that makes it stir. It is mainly the madrile\u00c3\u00b1o attitude<\/strong> – a love of socialising, cultural flare, and the warmth of its people – that makes it stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Madrid presents excellent opportunities for students<\/strong>, offering an international community and exceptional career prospects in one of the most affordable student cities in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guillaume Danloy<\/a>, Alumnus of the Bachelor in Management (BSc)<\/a><\/strong>, recalls his year in Madrid as one of the best experiences in his life: \u00ab\u00a0I would say it is the best Spanish city. And even from a living perspective, Madrid has no rivals in the world in terms of quality of life. I definitely see myself returning there one day. The culture, the people, the food, the spirit, the weather, it’s everything that makes the city such a special place to be.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Campus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A relentless expansion paired with authentic relationships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gone are the years when the concept of ‘business school’ was not yet well established in the education ecosystem in Spain. But from the beginning, ESCP Business School<\/strong> has always been among the protagonists co-shaping the educational panorama of the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of the ESCP Madrid Campus<\/strong> date back to 1987<\/strong>, when it still had its headquarters in the Viso neighbourhood. At that time, the first cohort counted just about 50 students, coming mainly from Spain, Germany and France. A world apart from the multicultural environment<\/strong> you breathe on the Campus today, with over 40 nationalities<\/strong> represented by more than 1,000 students a year<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Madrid Campus progression has been indeed notable. It has grown from a two-person staff in 1987 to over 64 in 2021, and from one to three campus buildings: the main facility in Arroyofresno<\/strong>, Executive Education in Navalmanzano<\/strong> and the new opening in Calle Mar\u00c3\u00aca de Molina<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even at the rate that the Madrid Campus is growing, it is still characterised by its warmth<\/strong>. Here, you can find familiarity<\/strong>, personalised attention<\/strong> and closeness<\/strong> between the students, professors and staff like nowhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESCP programmes that allow students to spend each year<\/strong> of their academic career in a different country<\/strong> – such as the Bachelor in Management (BSc) – still offer a consistent learning experience across all Campuses. Nonetheless, each Campus also boasts its own peculiarities and didactic strengths<\/strong>, making the ‘learning nomadism’ an even more enriching experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, Madrid has a mix of professors balanced between thorough academics<\/em> and experienced practitioners<\/em>. This blend of profiles works for the profit of students, who get from the professors both academic grounded theories<\/strong> and real business learnings<\/strong> coming from the experience in managing companies. The Faculty here is also famous for being extremely accessible<\/strong> by students, with whom it always cares to establish a relationship of close mutual exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, but not least important, the Campus’ green spaces and terraces<\/strong> give it an extra touch and allow students to enjoy Madrid’s fantastic weather throughout the year. In the meantime, the cafeteria gurus Paco and Victor <\/strong>– unanimously decreed as one of the best assets of the Campus – take care of everyone with their big smiles, kind words and daily home-cooked meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
