A word from a student
I’ve been part of ESSCA School of Management in Paris for the past four years through the programme Grande École. I’m currently in my first year of the Master in Management programme. Looking back, my journey at ESSCA has been far more than just an academic experience it has been a defining chapter of my life. From the very first day, I felt welcomed into a community that values curiosity, diversity, and ambition. The professors and classmates I’ve met here have continuously inspired me to push beyond my limits and see challenges as opportunities to grow. ESSCA has not only shaped my professional mindset but also my character and values. It’s a place where I discovered my passions, built lifelong friendships, and learned the importance of leading with empathy and purpose. I’m deeply grateful to be part of this family one that believes in empowering students to become not just successful professionals, but responsible and compassionate individuals ready to make an impact in the world.
ESSCA offers the opportunity to study in 10 campuses in France, Hungary, China, Luxembourg, and Spain.
Throughout this programme, students learn alongside world-leading professors, whose research is changing the face of responsible business and management practice. Their constant focus on the realities of international business, plus the opportunities offered thanks to the mandatory internship, that can be done abroad or in France, ensure that our students develop a unique understanding and perspectives of business.

A word from an Alumni
I graduated from ESSCA last year in June and I started my first formal job position in PWC Shanghai in October. I found this job online in 2021, 1 year before I started with the company. My experience at ESSCA really helped me to find my job at PWC. Now I’m working in the tech department. 80% of the work I do in my job, are things which I learned at ESSCA. Without the knowledge I gained at ESSCA, I wouldn’t have this job.
