Student Testimonial
“Going into the MSc in Energy Management I had a clear vision: I knew I wanted to develop the skills that would help me become a strong strategy consultant for the energy industry. During my 18 months at ESCP, I achieved exactly what I set my mind to.
Modules such as Problem Solving & Decision Making and Corporate & Business Strategy provided me with the basic consulting skills, while others such as Energy Policy and Energy Markets & Other Commodities gave me more insights about the key factors that make the energy industry so peculiar and, therefore, fascinating.
As a management consultant at E.ON Inhouse consulting, I apply these skills and learnings on a daily basis.
However, the MSc in Energy Management provided much more than academic and professional development. The diversity of cultural and professional backgrounds within the cohort was exceptional, creating an ideal ground for personal growth and friendship building.
Because of this, the interpersonal experience will remain the highlight of my time spent at ESCP.”

Both locations are an influential hub for major international aspects of the energy industry. Washington, DC gathers senior executive industry leaders, investors, and energy and policy experts. Houston is a 'growth leader' in the USA market and broadly considered the energy capital of the world. On this week-long International Seminar, students will experience how business and expertise are utilised to foster innovation, and be exposed to business know-how and industry and public issues in both academic and industry environments.
All participants will attend lectures by local experts, seminars by practitioners, and engage in company visits. It is not only an opportunity to solve a real-life challenge posed by one of ESCP’s many corporate partners; it also allows students to put into practice the theory and knowledge acquired during their time with the School.
Many students use this opportunity to do a project with a company for whom they wish to work, and as such this is a great opportunity that could potentially lead to future employment.
“The week-long International Seminar gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge about the current global energy markets. The industry lectures, workshops and site visits gave me the chance to be exposed to the expertise of the most authoritative American energy thought leaders. It provided me with new tools and critical thinking to undertake new challenges of innovation in the energy environment.”

Professional Mission
A professional mission in the form of an in-company internship of at least 4 months.
The programme ends with a minimum 16-week internship to be completed by the end of April 2021. The internship provides participants with the opportunity to be confronted with real business life conditions and develop their practical skills as part of an action learning pedagogy. These important jobseeking skills are developed with the professional support of School specialists in the Careers Office and the Alumni Association.
Satisfactory fulfilment of the internship requirement is also dependent on the completion of an internship report reviewed by the School and the internship sponsor.
The MSc in Energy Management degree is awarded upon the passing of all modules and the thesis, and completing the internship requirement.
The Corporate Relations Department
The Corporate Relations Department is dedicated to gathering placement offers from many companies. The department also organises a series of Careers fairs and events, giving you many opportunities to make contact.
The thesis is an individual project for the Master degree and must be approximately 12,000 words. It is a theory/praxis-driven investigation into a relevant business or management issue. Each student conducts the thesis under the supervision of a faculty member.
Students are encouraged from the start of the programme to think about a topic for their thesis. Master theses are processed and managed jointly by the Programme Office team and the Programme Director.
The Master thesis requirement enables students to:
- Develop skills in problem identification and formulation
- Select appropriate research methods
- Plan a complex piece of work
- Collect and interpret relevant data
- Carry out a critical analysis and formulate recommendations
Energy Expert Testimonial
“My interaction with the ESCP community and its Research Centre for Energy Management is always a refreshing engagement. Whilst the formal lectures and subject matter is given sufficient air time and consideration, the real learnings come via the ensuing discussion. As an example, the quality and pace of one debate quickly led from broad topics such as oil price variables, M&A market liquidity and the NOC / IOC dynamic, to local impacts such as environmental governance and industry accountabilities - all in the context of the question ‘can the oil industry coexist with society’s expectations?’ The collective energy, knowledge and participation of the ESCP cohorts is as unique as it is impressive.”

Energy Expert Testimonial
“ESCP is well known for its unique historical status and powerful international network. But what makes the energy programmes extra special is the input from those who have held, and those who still hold, senior posts in the energy policy and management fields. There is nothing like building on the insights provided by those with practical experience. I have been highly impressed by the quality of students.”
