About ESCP Business School - Paris

ESCP Business School was founded in 1819, making it the world’s oldest business school. The School has chosen to teach responsible leadership, open to the world and based on European multiculturalism.


ESCP’s six campuses in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Turin and Warsaw are the stepping stones that allow students to experience this European approach to management.


Several generations of entrepreneurs and managers were thus trained in the firm belief that the business world may positively contribute to society.


This conviction and ESCP’s values - excellence, singularity, creativity and plurality - guide our mission and build the School’s pedagogical vision.


Every year, ESCP welcomes 10000+ students and 6000 managers from 135 different nationalities. Its strength lies in its many business training programmes, both general and specialised (Bachelor, Master, MBA, Executive MBA, PhD and Executive Education), all of which include a multi-campus experience.


ESCP offers an MBA in International Management. The programme can be completed in 10, 22 or 34 months. The programme can also be completed in person, online or hybrid (select periods entirely online, select periods in-person).
