Programme Objectives
Challenge yourself intellectually and acquire skills for a top international career
Learning about Business Management in a Cross-cultural context
During the course of this three-year, three-country programme, you will truly get to know and understand diverse cultures and approaches to management – both through your multi-campus travel and the experience of working with your international peers.
By the conclusion of the Bachelor, you will have acquired the necessary background and knowledge in management, economics, and law, complemented by the fundamentals of maths, accounting and statistics. All modules have been chosen to provide you with a solid foundation for a career in business across a range of different industry sectors and management domains.
Working as a team with people all over the world
You develop presentation, communication and research skills, as well as gaining fluency in several languages.
Group work and collective projects are an integral part of the programme, allowing you to gain insights into working as a team with people all over the world, both face-to-face and digital technology.
Learning about Liberal Arts and Humanities
The inclusion of liberal arts and humanities modules (e.g. Psychology and Sociology) will give you an important understanding of business in a wider context, to think outside the box and develop different ways of thinking.
Bringing concepts to life
We believe that theory is nothing without practice, so internships and social impact projects provide the opportunity for you to bring your learned concepts and techniques to life.
The Bachelor thesis brings the programme to a close, consolidating the past three years of learning and working in a multicultural environment and preparing you for the next steps in their career, be it in postgraduate study or graduate work opportunities.

Moreover, I do enjoy the course, especially business thanks to the fact that students can listen in the same semester to various professors, each of them focused and specialised in the topic of their lecture."

"I love ESCP because of its diversity. You can't get this international exposure at any other school. Not only do I get to learn about different people's cultures, I also get to practice my language skills with everyone. Another great thing about the program is that we get to study in three different countries, which will help us stand out in the future. I’m looking forward to living in Madrid and Berlin, and I’m hoping to get prestigious internships during summer breaks."

To make this possible, we provide in-class and digital language courses that are adapted to each student's level during the three years.
During the first year all courses are taught in English. During the second semester of the second year, some courses in Madrid and Paris will be taught in Spanish and French respectively; all courses offered in Turin are in English. In the third year some of the elective courses will be offered in German, with the option of selecting electives taught in English.
This offers our students the flexibility to study according to their preferences, whilst developing proficiency in other languages.

Testimonial
Brigitta VILMOS (Hungary)
Track: London – Turin – Berlin
"I very much enjoy the multicultural exposure I experience while studying every year at a different campus in a different country together with students from many different nations. Besides studying a broad spectrum of management related courses with many group projects, this international background, together with courses in interpersonal and intercultural skills give us an advantage in today’s competitive job market where employers value the ability of co-operation and teamwork. These skills have proven to be of great value during my consulting internship in the summer as I indeed could profit from what we learned in psychology, communication and interpersonal skills, making collaboration so much easier."
Social Impact Project
The option is designed to encourage students to reflect upon pressing social problems, such as poverty and access to basic needs, and focuses on the growing realisation that sustainable social impact can best be achieved by applying creative management solutions.
Students may even take part in social and humanitarian missions abroad, e.g. helping to build schools in under-developed countries or to develop social businesses.

Guillaume DANLOY (Belgium)

"One of the great aspects of this programme is that we aren’t only facing theoretical courses but many practical ones. According to me, this is key to preparing ourselves for our future business lives."
Thesis
Students select a research topic of particular interest for analysis. Recommendations are prepared using clear, logical argumentation and drawing upon original desk research, interviews or a case study carried out during their assignment. Each thesis project is supervised and guided by a member of Faculty or expert in the relevant field. Students are encouraged to pick a topic of personal interest or one highly relevant to their future career plan. The thesis can be written in English, German, French, Italian or Spanish, and is guided by faculty in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris and Turin - again reflecting the international dimension of the programme.

Scholarships
That is why we have created, for all the students who wish to fulfill their high-quality educational goal, a scholarship program that encourages social diversity and values individual commitment.
Scholarships can cover from 10% to 50% of the tuition fees (the 1st registration fee is not covered by the scholarship) and are assigned based on a mix of criteria, which include merit and financial needs. They are renewable each year on condition of academic achievement, behavior and involvement in the ESCP community.
Applications for scholarships
Students wishing to be considered for scholarships apply once they have been admitted to the programme and will need to submit financial information (evidence of household income), in addition to documents previously provided. Admitted students applying for scholarships will be notified of the decision before they have to pay the non-refundable €2,500 deposit (which is due even if a scholarship is awarded).
Bank Loan
Recent ESCP students have received interest rates as low as 1%. Consult your banker for information on a personal loan.
Furthermore, thanks to a partnership with BNP Paribas, the ESCP Foundation Endowment Fund supports students who encounter difficulties to obtain student credit in the absence of a solid guarantor.
In order to have more information, contact your campus' Student Affairs office (please note that this is currently only available for French students).
