Study Opportunities

We offer the following postgraduate courses at ESCP Europe's London campus:

• Master in European Business (MEB): A 1-year, 2-country programme aimed at graduates seeking a hands-on approach to management and a truly international dimension. Over two semesters, students study at one of our five campuses in Europe (with the option to take a semester at our partner institutions in Mexico, Russia, India and Thailand), complete consultancy projects and a professional internship. The MEB offers one intake in September with more than 35 different study tracks to choose from, including several available entirely in English.
• Master in Management (MIM): A 2 or 3-year programme offering individualised study tracks. Students attend classes at 2 or 3 of our European campuses, again with the option to take a semester at one of our 70 partner universities worldwide. The programme focuses on international management and comprises core and elective modules, consultancy projects, professional internships and a thesis. Upon graduation, students receive multiple diplomas, provided the study requirements are met.
• Master in Marketing and Creativity: This innovative 15-month postgraduate programme integrates a strong core curriculum in marketing with practical applications, highly relevant cases and an exploration of creative disciplines. Students will benefit from specialist seminars, team-based marketing consultancy projects, a 12-week internship and a professional thesis. The programme is taught in English and takes place at our London and Paris campuses.

and

• Summer Courses (Finance in London, International Management, and Marketing Today): Three-week intensive courses for talented undergraduates and recent graduates looking to gain practical knowledge in one of three specific areas of business, as well as excellent communication and decision-making skills. Students also benefit from organised company visits.

To gain work-management skills in a live setting and ease their transition into the job market, our MEB and MMK students undertake live company consultancy projects in groups and all full-time students complete individual internships as part of their chosen programme. Each campus has a company relations team supporting students during their search. Amongst the hundreds of corporate partners who have recently sponsored interns are KPMG, Deloitte, HSBC, Nomura, Rothschild, Apple, CNBC, EDF and Orange.

By integrating the business world into our educational approach and teaching methods, we prepare business managers and future executives to meet many of the new challenges of global economies.
