ESCP Business School was founded in 1819, making it the world’s oldest business school. Its Master in Management is the program most defined by its multi-campus structure: students spend their two years across at least two of ESCP’s six European campuses.

Multi-Campus Life

The choice of campuses is largely up to the student, made during the first semester. Paris is the most popular base for the first year; Berlin, Madrid, and London are the most common choices for year two. Each campus has a distinct culture and strengths — Berlin for entrepreneurship, London for finance, Madrid for Latin American connections.

Value Proposition

At €32,500, ESCP is significantly less expensive than HEC or LBS while offering a top-5 FT ranking. The multi-campus model produces graduates who are genuinely multilingual and cross-culturally experienced in a way that classroom-only programs rarely replicate.
