ESCP Europe (full name: French: École supérieure de commerce de Paris) is a pan-European business school which has campuses in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Turin, and Warsaw. Originally established in 1819 in Paris, it is the oldest business school in the world. ESCP has been ranked among the top 10 business schools in the world.

ESCP Europe is one of the most selective French "Grandes écoles" and referred in France as one of the "trois Parisiennes" (three Parisians), together with HEC Paris and ESSEC Business School. It is highly selective and aims to prepare high-level students for top executive functions.

ESCP programmes have continuously been regarded by the Financial Times as being amongst the best in the world. The ESCP Master in Management was ranked 6th in the global Financial Times Masters in Management ranking of 2017, and the Advanced Master in Finance programme was ranked 4th in 2017. Accredited by the Paris Chamber of Commerce, ESCP Europe is one of the 76 schools in the world to have obtained the triple accreditation of AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.

History

Foundation in 1819

The school was established in Paris on 1 December 1819 as the world's first business school by a group of economic scholars and businessmen including the well-known economist Jean-Baptiste Say and the celebrated trader Vital Roux. It was modeled on the first Grande École, the École Polytechnique founded by Lazare Carnot and Gaspard Monge, but was initially much more modest, 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 Parisian location on Avenue de la République in 1898.

In 1828, the project to put the school under the authority of the French Ministry of Commerce and Industry failed. The school remained independent by the intervention of Jérôme-Adolphe Blanqui who took it over. Several times during the first half of the 19th century, French politics planned on grouping ESCP Europe with French elite engineering schools such as École Polytechnique or École Centrale Paris, but that never occurred. From 1838, the French state began to give scholarships to ESCP Europe's students and in 1852 it accredited ESCP Europe's programs.

Finally, in 1869 the Paris Chamber of Commerce bought the school to train future business leaders to modern commercial methods. Until 1870 there was only one business school in France: ESCP Europe. In 1892, ESCP Europe set up selective admission processes which still take the form of competitive exams.

A pan-European school since 1973

On April 5, 1973 the concept of a multi-campus business school was founded with the consecutive inaugurations of campuses in the United Kingdom (London in 1974, move to Oxford in 1975) and in Germany (Düsseldorf in 1975, move to Berlin in 1985). Since then, the school has deepened its European presence to become an integrated pan-European business school:

  • In 1985, the School's campus in Germany moves from Düsseldorf to Berlin at the invitation of the Government of Berlin.
  • In 1988, a fourth campus is opened in Madrid.
  • In 1999, ESCP merges with its sister school EAP.
  • In 2001, the Master in Management programme of ESCP Europe is validated by City University London.
  • In 2004, a fifth campus in Torino, Italy is founded. Validated by the University of Turin, Master in Management students can obtain the Italian degree Laurea Magistrale.
  • In 2005, the School inaugurates its London campus having moved from Oxford.
  • In 2007, the Master in Management programme is recognized by the Charles III University of Madrid and students can obtain the Spanish degree of Master Europeo en Administración y Dirección de Empresas.
  • In 2015, the School establishes its sixth European campus via a strategic alliance with the Warsaw-based Kozminski University.
  • In 2016, the School decides to strengthen its footprint in Paris by adding a second campus located in the Montparnasse quarter.

Campus

6 campuses in Europe

ESCP Europe students have the opportunity to study in campuses in France (Paris), in the UK (London), Spain (Madrid), Germany (Berlin), Italy (Turin), and Poland (Warsaw). They can spend either 6 months or 1 year on each campus according to their study choices. Each campus has its own specifics and develops programs with local academic institutions. For instance, in Spain ESCP Europe provides a Master in Business Project Management co-delivered with the Technical University of Madrid.

From 2017, ESCP Europe will have two campuses in Paris. One near the Place de la République (11th arrondissement of Paris) and another one near the Montparnasse Tower (15th arrondissement of Paris). Each campus will be dedicated to a specific range of programs. The campus in the 11th arrondissement will host all the graduate programs whereas the campus in the 15th arrondissement will host the undergraduate education, the executive education and the school's start-up Incubator. This organization is unique to Paris. In all the other school's cities, undergraduate, graduate and executive education are dispensed in the same campus.

Multiple degrees

The Master in Management programme is nationally recognised in each of ESCP Europe's home countries. Consequently, students enrolled in the Master in Management can obtain up to three national different degrees according to their campuses of study:

  • In United Kingdom, students can obtain the "European Msc in Management" conjointly delivered by City University London.
  • In Germany, ESCP Europe can deliver a "German Master of Science" since being an independent, state-recognized university in Germany.
  • In Spain, students can receive a "Master en Administracion y Direccion de Empresas" (Spanish Master of Business Administration) co-delivered by the Charles III University of Madrid.
  • In Italy, the University of Turin co-delivers a "Laurea Magistrale" to ESCP Europe's students.
  • In France, the Grande Ecole diploma.

The Master in European Business programme is a degree accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) in the category of Masters in Business and Management (MBM). Students enrolled in the Master in European Business are eligible to obtain up to three national different degrees:

  • From France, students can obtain the "Grade de Master", which is recognised by the French Ministry of Education. All MEB students, having a 4-year degree (240 ECTS credits) and at least one year of professional experience, are eligible to the "Grade de Master" wherever they study.
  • In Germany, ESCP Europe can deliver a "German Master of Science", which is recognised by the Berlin Senat and the German Ministry of Education and Research. Students have to spend an additional term in Berlin for completion of three additional modules and the writing of a Master thesis. Doing so will allow for an additional 30 ECTS credits.
  • In India or China, if students choose to study one semester with an international partner, it is possible to gain a national degree in addition to the ESCP Europe MEB, a Postgraduate Diploma in International Management (DIM) from MDI Gurgaon (India), or a Certificate programme in International Management is delivered by the School of Management at Xiamen University (China).
