ESCP Business School (reviews)

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.

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.

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.

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!

ESCP was among the only business schools in Europe to offer a complete and well-designed Master in Sustainability Management. The courses are very interesting, focused on sustainability issues, professors are committed and the Master incorporates practical courses such as consultancy projects and an internship.
Additionally, the international environment and the possibility to move to different cities is unique and extremely enjoyable.

This university is quite good. The ranking is good and the best thing about it is the opportunity you get to travel and meet people from all around the world. Most of the teachers are very much committed.

I am graduating from ESCP in 6 months and if I could, I would do it all over again. The program allowed me to live in 3 cities (London, Turin, Berlin) in 3 years, which was perfect for a travel-enthusiast like me. The courses are very diverse and the professors are good and I would say that I acquired a very rich and broad overview over the different departments in business. Another big advantage of the program is that you’re gaining work experience through multiple internships, which I believe is what helped me most in regards to defining my next steps after the Bachelor program.

– Very international school with diverse student base
– Valuable intercultural opportunities during visits at ESCPs various campuses
– Wide range of elective courses to chose from when “building your own degree”

The ESCP London campus is amazing. The buildings are old from the outside but modern inside. Technology level, you have everything you need. The atmosphere is warm. Being an international school, people speak mainly English to each other; it can be complicated at first but it’s kind of cool I think. The teachers are always here for you if you need anything. However, the campus is not in the centre of London so it can be annoying sometimes. Courses are great and interesting. Student life: different associations exist but the direction of the school doesn’t take part in it which can bring complication to the development of new ones. After doing your degree at ESCP, you have a lot opportunity of career thanks to the alumni or the internship, this is a real must.

Great program with a lot of international mobility between campuses, interesting and international people and amazing opportunities for internships abroad, exchanges and double diploma.
Quality of classes and administrative structure and processes could be improved to better suit students’ need and increase overall efficiency.
