ESCP Europe celebrates its position as no.2 in the world and no.1 in each of its five campus countries in the Financial Times Master in Management Rankings 2013. ESCP Europe’s Master in Management (MiM) programme has been placed in the top 3 of the annual Financial Times ranking for the Master in Management programme for the past six years. This year the School is once again ranked no. 1 in each of the countries in which it is located: France, UK, Germany, Spain and Italy, as well as no. 1 for “International course experience”. In addition, ESCP Europe is currently among the finalists for the Times Higher Education (THE) award for Business School of the Year, recognising the high quality of its programmes, research centres and international reach. ESCP Europe, the World's First Business School (est. 1819), achieved this result for the second year in a row with its fulltime programme delivered across its campuses in 5 of the most influential European cities: Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid and Torino. Aimed at young graduates with an international profile, its Master in Management students come from 41 countries worldwide. The school provides a unique European experience, combined with a global perspective on business. Its Master in Management graduates realise a return on investment from their studies within the first year after graduation, mainly from entering the Consulting and Finance/Banking sectors. A significant number become entrepreneurs (8%). Dean Edouard Husson states, “One of the key reasons for the School’s results in the FT ranking is that taking a global perspective is in our DNA: since the 1820s one third of our students have been international. Our faculty has always remained faithful to the founder of the School, Jean-Baptiste Say, by emphasising innovation and a strong commitment to entrepreneurship and individual responsibility.” ESCP Europe’s cross-cultural management education portfolio also includes the newly re-designed Executive MBA; the one-year Master in European Business (MEB), specialised masters programmes covering 18 different topics including Finance, Marketing and Creativity, Energy and Hospitality Management. The School also offers an extensive range of Executive Education programmes in the form of part-time Executive Masters degrees, shorter master classes and bespoke programmes.
