Opinions on the ESCP MBA


Posted Jul 07, 2018 14:21

Hi all. I had an interview with ESCP for the MBA and was impressed and wanted to see if anyone has studied there or knows more? I know their Exec MBA and MiM is very highly ranked and this new MBA was formally the MEB (master in European business)
The reason it interests me is to gain more international experience, and also in the future have international mobility within Europe. I believe they are known much better in France, as one of the most famous French schools, but in UK for example has over 3000 alumni along with a campus there as well.
Plus points are many campuses, career fairs all over Europe, wide alumni base, links to major companies (interesting projects), and the current cohort seem, whilst a bit younger, high quality and very European.
Negative are that the MBA is new, its unranked so far, and I imagine they are maybe ironing out some kinks plus how well known they are know outside of France? I know that you should go and study where you want to work, but they seem very dedicated to Europe

Indeed, it is a good school because of the grande école programmel. Of course those UK alumni are generally not MBA alumni.

If you speak and write French fluently, then it's a great school to find work around Paris.

I have an offer from them now. Unfortunately I don´t speak French, and I´m also not fixed on landing a job in france, actually would be looking at the UK (i´m a uk national) or open to another country in EU-if not now then in the future. I was wondering if the school has much weight outside of France? I would like spend 6 mth in Paris and 6 mth in London. They seem to have great relations with major companies that would likely have positions in the UK plus the campusin london. Does the value of the network only really count with MBA students then? I had imagined that business school networks would offer value from both former MiM and exec MBA´s. Might it be better to find a UK school with international mobility?thank you in advance, possibly I had some false misconceptions

This hinges very much on your goals and assets. If you want to be employed in the UK, then a school with better links to MBA recruiters will be better.
