"The Entrepreneurship specialisation I took in Madrid for my last semester provided me with essential skills and gave me a strong entrepreneurial spirit. It boosted me to launch my startup right after graduation, with 3 friends from ESCP."
We offer a portfolio or more than 150 elective modules in 15- and 30-hour formats.
Take a deep dive into the major issues today’s leaders face with four thematic seminars. Two or three full days are dedicated to the seminar topic, each one has specific learning objectives.
To immerse our students in the School’s European dimension, all first-year Master in Management students experience a three-day seminar at the European Parliament. During this seminar, students attend conferences given by experts on the issues surrounding the economic, institutional and cultural aspects of European policymaking. The students also take part in a negotiation role-play to increase their insight.
Digital transformation is having a profound impact on society, the economy, the workplace, as well as on the daily lives of individuals. This seminar improves your knowledge of information technologies and infrastructures and raises your awareness of the impacts of digital transformation (positive as well as negative).
Analyse the personality traits and behaviours that will help you to get hired and succeed in your work.
This hands-on, 3-day seminar allows students to experience a computer-based business simulation that allows them to develop, implement and manage international business strategies of a simulated company.
Work placements in the form of internships or short employment contracts are an integral part of the Master in Management. They enable students to apply the theory learned in-class to real-life professional situations, helping in turn to clarify your career goals

ESCP offers a multitude of possibilities on where to do your studies during the two-year Master programme. Students can study in up to four different locations either on our own European campuses (during M1 or M2) or at one of our international partner institutions around the world (during M2).

If you take this option, the Master in Management can take up to four years to complete (with a minimum of two years of studies and a maximum of four gap semesters).

Hands-on experience gained through internships or an apprenticeship and group projects, as well as the school’s international dual degree selection all support our graduates’ successful launching of their careers.
Work placements in the form of internships or short employment contracts enable students to apply the theory learned in-class to real-life professional situations, helping in turn to clarify their career goals. As such, work placements are an integral part of the Master in Management programme and the hands-on learning experience.
All students are required to undertake a minimum of 2 work placements lasting at least 2 months each. Students with previous work experience (completed before joining the programme) can validate up to 20 weeks toward the total required. On average, MIM students gain 64 weeks (16 months) of work experience before graduation.
Students have access to an extensive number of partner firms (e.g. consulting firms, major international corporations, investment and commercial banks) via each campus' careers service, which they can contact to secure internships or first jobs.
After enrolment in the MIM, students can apply for the apprenticeship track, the ideal way to combine study and professional experience. Over 200 student apprentices participate each year in one of the two Apprenticeship options of the MiM (24 months or 12-14 months). The apprenticeship track combines in-company work experience with academic coursework at ESCP. Apprenticeships are available for all students aged under 30. Employment must be in a company governed under French law; accordingly the students must have a sound knowledge of French.

"The apprenticeship track is a very enriching opportunity as it allows you to combine the best of two worlds: that of a student and of a working professional. It is also a great way to perfect your time management skills. It is definitely the best way to not only finance your studies but also to acquire professional experience that is highly valued by employers. My apprenticeship turned into a full-time position upon graduation! In fact, I am now in a full-time position at Siemens, where I started as an apprentice."
