What is a Management degree?

A Management degree builds a strong foundation in a wide variety of fields including business, finance, economics and marketing. It develops students’ understanding of business practices, structures, business theory, business strategy and research as well as global economies and financial markets. Doing a Management Degree also allows students to gain skills that enable them to work with financial and numerical data effectively.

Management degrees cover different managerial roles, such as Human Resource (HR) management, hospitality management, innovation management, operations management, etc. They can be specialized into one of the areas mentioned above or follow a more general approach that covers most of these areas.

The range of management degrees is huge and includes Business Management, Management, Marketing Management, etc. They are predominantly offered in the business departments/business schools/management schools of different universities.

Benefits of a Management degree

One of the main benefits of this degree is that Management is a broad discipline, which keeps students’ career options open.

Management degrees could have a very practical focus, which is an opportunity for students to gain experience in the process of completing their degree before having started their professional careers. Management courses usually offer work placements and practical modules, which include business simulations and business creation in a simulated environment. Acquiring practical experience through these opportunities could make students stand out from the crowd in the job market once they graduate. Research-oriented Management degrees also exist for those who prefer the theoretical aspects of such a degree. Most courses, however, have established a good balance between theory and practice in order to meet the needs of all students.

Management degrees also prepare students to serve the managerial role across a wide range of areas, including HR management, hospitality management, innovation management, operations management, etc. Students can specialize in one particular area or focus on gaining knowledge across all of these areas thanks to the high availability of different management courses.

Additionally, there is a high demand for management professionals in the contemporary business world. Therefore, taking a management course is an opportunity for students to kick-start their careers and occupy a higher position in the organizational hierarchy.

management degree Structure

Management courses usually begin by introducing students to different areas covered by the managerial role, such as organizational management, business environment, statistics, accounting and finance, business growth, etc. After the first year, institutions allow students to explore the management discipline into more depth by delivering specialized modules and offering optional modules, which enable students to choose subjects that interest them the most and are most relevant to their career aspirations.

Management degrees take 3 years to complete in the UK. However, their duration could extend to 4 years if students choose to spend a year in industry between their second and third year, which is a popular option among the student community. Setting placement opportunities apart, the duration of a Management degree depends on three main factors – country, mode of study (part-time or full-time) and degree level.

    EMIB ESCP Impactful Degree

    Followed the program for 1,5 years, grades around 90%.
    It was launch with a bold idea to share same level as MBA degree with the possibility to study with a higher flexibility.

    What I found best in the programs:
    -Professors are the same that for Executive MBA and other MSc at ESCP.
    -Courses are excellent and recently the faculty was adding new qualitative courses.
    -The evolution over months of the programs that become more and more qualitative.
    -Staff is super helpful and reactive.
    -People enrolled in the degree are from great background, are coming from all around the world.

    The communication digitally and the very active community (helping each others as well to succeed in the program 😉 ) is a big advantage.

    For sure the program can further improve especially in offering even more possibilities and recognition, but overall it is life changing experience from my side.

    ESCP EMIB marketing scam / hype

    ESCP Business School is apparently lauded as one of EU’s most prestigious business school. The Executive Master in International Business (EMIB) is a relatively young degree (5-6 years) and covers a range of topics related to strategy, business development, leadership, marketing etc.

    My employer has paid 70% of my fees hence my commitment to complete the course. I will graduate with an average of 90%+ and have attended all on campus seminars offered.

    In general, my opinion is that the EMIB should be avoided by all who consider their time precious and is seeking rigor in their academic / learning pursuits. The EMIB, and ESCP in general, is aggressively marketed and the value proposition they advocate fall far from what is delivered.

    Academic standard: The course is extremely dumbed down and so thin in academic rigor, insight or relevancy that I honestly cannot see how the EMIB will be sustainable for a long period of time apart from the false marketing hype ESCP use to advocate the course.

    Co-hort: The co-hort consist mostly of very young, overly ambitious students who wants to primarily leverage the reputation of ESCP and get a very easy Master certificate (note this is NOT a degree certificate) to promote themselves in the market place. On top of that, cheating is rampant where students actively and unashamedly uses social media to cheat on exams that are already laughable in terms of how easy it is to get close to a perfect score with a little bit of work.

    Supporting-staff: Here I feel ESCP lives up to their reputation. The supporting staff has been very accessible and the platforms used and IT infrastructure works as expected. The only criticism I have is on the access to academic literature. The library and their offered digital services lack in supplying a wide range of resources. This makes it very difficult to promote wide reading for the serious student.

    Faculty: Again, I would not consider the faculty staff as established academics. They create the impression of established industrial executives who want to use ESCP as base to give credibility to their practice. Maybe my impression on them is biased due to the lack of academic rigor and their lack of interest pushing the co-hort to learn something. That being said, the material they use is mostly sourced from google, Havard Business Review (HBR) and outdated articles.

    Campuses: The campuses are really old and dilapidated. If I compare it to other European and US universities I have visited, then I get a very poor impression on ESCP.

    master in business management

    The prestigious Master in Business Management program at ESCP Business School is geared toward preparing students for successful careers in business management. As a student with a background in business, I’m thinking about this program as a way to get more education and better job opportunities.

    This program’s global focus is one of its main benefits. The program is offered on six ESCP campuses—Warsaw, Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, and Turin—giving students a unique chance to learn about different business cultures and environments. This worldwide viewpoint is critical in the present globalized economy, and it is something that I esteem in a postgraduate program.

    The educational plan of the Expert in Business The executives program covers a large number of points in business the board, including financial matters, money, showcasing, and hierarchical way of behaving. Additionally, leadership development is emphasized in the program, which is necessary for success in business management positions. The educational plan is intended to give understudies a complete comprehension of how organizations work, and how they can be overseen successfully.

    The faculty is yet another significant advantage of this program. A group of seasoned academics and industry professionals instruct the program, bringing a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to the classroom. This invaluable combination of academic rigor and hands-on experience ensures that students receive a comprehensive education.

    Last but not least, the Master of Business Administration program at ESCP Business School gives students a wide range of chances to gain practical experience through internships and consulting projects. Students can use what they’ve learned in real-world situations and gain valuable experience through these opportunities, which will prepare them for business management careers in the future.

    In conclusion, anyone seeking a high-quality postgraduate education in business management should consider enrolling in the Master in Business Management program at ESCP Business School. With its worldwide concentration, extensive educational plan, experienced personnel, and useful experience open doors, this program is an amazing pathway to outcome in the realm of business.

    Diversity, Blended Model and Professional world

    I chose ESCP because the program that I’m currently following gather students from all around the world with different backgrounds and also because it gives the opportunity to travel through Europe to study.

    My first day plenty fulfilled my expectations: I met students from China, Armenia, Italia and many other countries. I enjoy my first year at ESCP thanks to this diversity, everyday you have the opportunity to enhance your skills in various languages but also to discover cultural habits very different than yours. It’s very rewarding and inspiring ! The interaction with other students is in my opinion the strength of ESCP and the Bachelor Program.

    ESCP has campuses at several places in Europe (London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin…) and in the Bachelor Program you must visit three of these campuses during your three years of study. It means that you must change city every year. I think that’s my favourite things about ESCP, no other school in the world gives the opportunity to live in three different countries and thus to be fluent in three different languages.

    But I must admit that my first year at ESCP disappoint me on the working point of Vue. The Blended Learning Model doesn’t force the student to do their best and allow free riding behaviors as well as cheating. To make it simple, the lessons are recorded, and we must watch them at home before class. Then, we discuss the recorded lessons with teachers on site with a small group of students. For serious and autonomous students, this system is perfect because it gives time to find a job, do sports or basically have time to yourself. But a large majority of students in the first year of the Bachelor just finished high school and thus aren’t mature enough to work that way. Also, during the first year we were learning languages on a website. As you can imagine, no one did it seriously and we didn’t learn much during the first year. I also want to add that the problems that I’ve listed as been fixed in the second year: we have now 4 hours per week of language classes with a teacher and we also have more work to do.

    The last important thing to mention about ESCP is the focus on the world of work. In classes you have a lot “work situation” tasks to do and many group projects that learn you how to act in a working atmosphere. Also, during the three years of the program you must do at least 6 months of internship. From my personal experience, what is impressive at ESCP is the quality of the internships that are made by the students. Thanks to the network and the various alumni’s you can find an internship in almost every company in the world and even well-known companies. Some of my closest friends did their first-year internship at Google, McDonalds, or City bank!

    In my opinion, ESCP is the perfect school to learn how to socialize. You will have the opportunity to talk with a lot of people in many languages and then you will make big progress in your interaction skills. I think ESCP is a well-known and very recognised school not only for the knowledge of their students but mainly because they are adaptable and flexible: they can be performant in many fields of actions with various interlocutors. The focus that is being made on the world of work also allow the students to be performant at the beginning of their first internship and to know how to act in the professional world.

    A quick look at ESCP Business School

    I am really enjoining this program, to date, it keeps meeting my expectations.
    I have the possibility to meet and work with people from all over the world with a wide variety of nationalities and, most importantly, personalities. I also have the possibility to live and study in three different incredible European cities: London, Turin, and Berlin and I think that the value of this offer is inestimable.
    I am studying a wide variety of subjects, both science, and humanities, and I noticed that this really changed my mindset regarding working with different methods and environments.
    Obviously, living abroad has its drawbacks: first of all, you have to find accommodation. But the school really tries to help during this process, sharing flats announcements and suggestions. Furthermore, during your life on Campus, someone is always available for any kind of necessity: from physical or mental health to the career service, or to get help with your VISA if needed. During these years of Covid, for example, we were always followed and supported by both the Program Office and the campus Doctor. It has been a really important help.
    When possible, numerous activities and events have been organized, such as the Sports Day or the Carnival and the Christmas parties. We had such a great time, this year in particular since the rules for the pandemic were a little less strict.
    I would really recommend this experience to anyone who feels ready for a three-year adventure, is open-minded, and is willing to meet and learn from new cultures and stimulating environments.

    Internationality

    One of my favourite things about the program is how diverse the people are. While studying in different countries thanks to their international course, you get the chance to socialise with people that have lived across the globe and develop meaningful friendships with them. The facilities are great as well as the staff in general.

    One thing that could be improved is the fact that half of our classes are online, making me feel like I do not spend enough time on campus.

    ESCP Bachelor in managment (BSc) insights

    The ESCP bachelor is an incredible opportunity to study with very high-quality teachers who are involved with bachelor’s and master’s students but also to travel across Europe. In fact, when you do the bachelor’s degree, you will be committed to travelling to 3 cities in 3 different countries for 3 years. Last year in Paris was very nice, the campus is located in the center of the city with modern facilities.
    This year, I’m experiencing the Madrid campus which is modest but has a very nice ambiance, at the same time to study, meet some friends or have a break. There is a large green area and the campus is very bright. Apart from that, studying the language, discovering the city and enjoying the culture of Madrid is a real pleasure.
    I hope to be as well surprised in Berlin next year!
