How ESCP Business School shapes global leaders

Success isn’t just about luck — it’s about preparation. While startups face challenges, promotions take time, and AI reshapes industries at lightning speed, those who want to stay ahead must embrace change. ESCP Business School can teach you how through its Full Time MBA, ranked 10th in Europe and #28 worldwide in the Financial Times Global MBA Ranking 2025. This programme combines a rigorous curriculum with experiential learning, equipping you with the skills, knowledge, and network to turn challenges into opportunities and thrive in any industry .

For Rene Carrillo Turcios, a 2023 graduate, it was a game-changer.

“When choosing an MBA programme, I believe there are many factors to consider,” he says. “For me, the ESCP Full Time MBA stood out for its truly international nature, featuring international professors, a diverse cohort, and multiple campuses in different cities, allowing you to choose and experience different cultures during the same journey.”

The programme’s impact is clear. Today, Turcios is a Western Europe Logistics Services and Project Manager at Hilti Group in Paris, applying the global mindset and expertise he developed at ESCP.

A top-ranked business school

With beginnings that date back to  1819, ESCP is experienced in every sense of the word. Hence, it is one of Europe’s leading business schools. It is multi-accredited (AACSB, EQUIS, EFMD MBA, EFMD EMBA) and ranks among the top globally. Its programmes are equally impressive. For example, the Full Time MBA ranks first for international course experience and third for value for money.

These rankings confirm what graduates know for sure: this programme is immersive, dynamic, and, most importantly, effective. However, what truly sets it apart is its global nature. With six campuses in Berlin, London, Madrid, Turin, and Paris, ESCP gives its students the unique opportunity to study in multiple cities and immerse themselves in new cultures. The Full Time MBA allows learners to study at three European campuses or opt for hybrid learning.

2022 graduate Ludovic Bamou Nyamsi found this exposure invaluable. “When it came to choosing a school for my MBA, beyond reputation, the access to a multi-country experience immersed in a highly culturally diverse study environment was a must-have,” he says. “ESCP perfectly matched these criteria. I had a very enriching experience on the Paris, Berlin, and Madrid campuses.”

Career growth accelerated

Unlike traditional two-year MBAs, ESCP offers a one-year programme, allowing you to accelerate your career and return to the workforce faster. The programme can be completed in 10 or 22 months — depending on how much time you need to balance your studies with your professional and personal lives. Regardless, you’ll broaden your horizons while developing confidence, leadership, and key pitching skills.

“The opportunity to be a part of the MBA cohort 2023 was a groundbreaking experience for me,” says ESCP Dean’s Award Recipient India and 2024 graduate Aishwarya Kaushik.

“The course work is extensive with deep learning through practical work and case studies that give a holistic idea of the subjects. Various exercises such as the Business simulation, supply chain game and the company strategy simulation give a real-time experience of the subjects and teach how to implement proposed strategies in the actual business scenarios.”

Unmatched ROI

An MBA is an investment, and at ESCP, the returns are significant. The weighted post-MBA salary for ESCP graduates is US$151,000. The programme includes lifelong membership to the ESCP Alumni Association, administrative and service costs, and International SOS mobility support.

To make its MBA accessible, ESCP offers financing options and scholarships. Grants and discounts are available for eligible candidates, with a maximum funding limit of 15,000 euros. All applicants are automatically considered for grants, making financial support even more accessible.

Career and networking advantages

ESCP graduates enjoy some of the highest employment rates in Europe, thanks to a robust career support system seamlessly integrated into its MBA programme. Following in their footsteps, you will engage in a structured job search experience through career development workshops, personalised coaching sessions, company visits, networking events, MBA career fairs, and industry-specific boot camps in consulting, finance, tech, and marketing — all from day one.

This strong foundation is further reinforced by the ESCP Alumni network, a global powerhouse with over 85,000 members across 200 countries. Graduates benefit from lifelong networking opportunities and career support. The Full Time MBA also enjoys strong partnerships with leading companies such as Cartier, Deloitte, L’Oréal, Safran, Airbus, KPMG, Valeo, EY, and Leclerc.

Through ESCP’s Corporate Relations services, alumni association membership, and multi-sector job fairs across all campuses, you’ll gain direct access to top recruiters and industry leaders.

For Nyamsi, this support made all the difference. “I was particularly impressed by the quality of the alumni network and the career services, through extensive coaching sessions, interview preparations workshops, experience sharing meetings with senior professionals from various industries and career weeks,” he says.

His success is not an isolated case. According to the 2025 FT Ranking Career Statistic, 100% of ESCP graduates are employed within three months of graduation, 92% work in an international environment, and 89% transition to new job sectors or functions.
