Student Services
On each ESCP campus, you'll find a team able to help and guide you for your visas and residence permits, your accommodation, your health and personal insurance coverage, your scholarships, your student cards, your health, your career-related projects, but also for sports activities and more.
Visas
A VISA is what allows you to enter the country where you will be studying. It is recommended that you begin the visa process two to three months before your date of departure. You can begin the process by going directly to the relevant Embassy in your home country or your place of residence.
Residence Permits
A RESIDENCE PERMIT is what allows you to stay in the country after your arrival. You must apply for your residence permit upon your arrival to the country. The UK is the only exception to this rule as residence permits do not exist. ESCP will help you through the process of securing your residence permit.
Specific Formalities
Visas and Residence Permits
If you are staying in Germany for longer than 90 days, and do not already have a visa or residence permit from another EU Schengen member state, you need to apply for a visa two months before your departure by contacting your nearest German Embassy.
If you already have a valid visa or residence permit from another EU Schengen member state or if you enter Germany without a visa (Andorra, Australia, Brazil, Canada, El Salvador, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, San Marino, South Korea or the USA), you must apply for a German residence permit within the 90 days following your arrival.
You may consult the Federal Foreign Office website. for further information.
Visas
Important information for EU and Swiss nationals.
The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020, and from 1 January 2021 the UK will implement a points-based immigration system (PBS).
This means from 1 January 2021, if you wish to study more than six months at a degree level (e.g. Bachelor and Master in Management programmes) and do not already live in the UK or have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, you will need to meet specific requirements and apply through the PBS (Student Visa Point-Based System) to do so. You will also need to pass relevant checks, including UK criminal record checks.
You can continue to visit the UK for up to six months without applying for a visa, and may participate in a wide range of activities including tourism, visiting family and friends, and short-term study (e.g. MBA in International Management and MSc programmes). You can enter the UK with an ID card until 30 September 2021 (for visits of less than six months).
Irish citizens’ status will continue to be protected as part of Common Travel Area arrangements and therefore will not require permission to come to the UK except in a very limited number of circumstances, and Irish citizens will not be required to apply under the new points-based immigration system.
For more information on the points-based immigration system, EU students can download this guide.

- ESCP scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit or financial need, and your course of study at ESCP.
- ESCP Scholarships cover only tuition fees; scholarship award amounts are deducted from the tuition fee bill.
- ESCP Scholarships may not, in any way, constitute living expenses.
For more information on the scholarship process and deadlines, please see your programme’s webpage.
If you are in the Master in Management programme and studying on the Paris campus, it is possible to acquire a one or two-year apprenticeship. In order to apply, students must be fluent in French and no older than 30 years old at the time the apprenticeship contract is signed.
If you are offered an apprenticeship, in addition to your salary, your company will also pay your tuition.
Working part-time may sound overwhelming when adding it to a full study load, but it does not have to be. You can find something you are good at or have a curiosity about and use that interest to make the time you spend earning, enriching as well. For example, you may know how to play a musical instrument but never find the time to practice or to play a few tunes. Why not begin giving private music lessons to share your knowledge with someone else while getting paid for your practice time? This is just one of the numerous part-time work possibilities you can begin to explore.
Here are a few of the most popular paths to supplement your income, to get your thoughts flowing:
- tutoring
- waiting tables/bartending
- deliveries (Deliveroo, Ubereats)
- driver (Uber, Kaptain)
- child-minding
- pet care
You can always contact the staff on campus for more information and advice.
ESCP Europe has partnerships and is working with banks to help students when arriving at one of our campuses.
Attention! Bank loans are only given to residents of the bank’s country!
In order to have more information, contact your campus’ Student Affairs office.
Are you looking for accommodation?
Every ESCP student receives -when admitted to the school- a Welcome Pack with a lot of practical information in it, including a full Housing Guide describing all the possibilities, offers and services on each ESCP campus.
Also, note that ESCP students have preferential access to housing platforms with offers displayed for them.
You can always contact your campus Student Affairs team for more information about your campus' accommodation possibilities.
