ESCP Europe ESCP Europe is a pan-European business school founded in 1819, operating multi-campus programs across major Paris, London, Madrid, Turin, Berlin, and Warsaw. It offers undergraduate, graduate, executive and doctoral programs linked with institutions such as HEC Paris, London Business School, IE Business School, Bocconi University, and ESADE. The school participates in networks including CEMS and Erasmus University Rotterdam, and holds accreditations like AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA.
Founded in 1819 in Paris by a group of merchants and industrialists, the school emerged contemporaneously with institutions like École Polytechnique and École des Ponts et Chaussées. Throughout the 19th century it interacted with firms such as Société Générale, Banque de France, and industrialists tied to the Industrial Revolution. In the 20th century the school navigated events including the Franco-Prussian War, World War I, and World War II, while alumni engaged with entities like Renault, Air France, and Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français. The late 20th and early 21st centuries saw transnational expansion, opening campuses in London and Madrid and forging partnerships with universities such as University of Cologne, Politecnico di Milano, and University of Warsaw. Integration with European initiatives like Erasmus and alliances with corporate partners including TotalEnergies, BNP Paribas, and Siemens shaped its modern trajectory.
Main campuses sit in historic urban settings: the original site in Paris near institutions like Sorbonne University and Panthéon-Assas University; the City of London campus adjacent to financial centers including London Stock Exchange and Bank of England; the Madrid campus close to institutions such as Universidad Complutense de Madrid; the Turin facility within the industrial and academic landscape linked to Fiat and Politecnico di Torino; the Berlin campus near hubs like Humboldt University of Berlin; and the Warsaw location proximate to University of Warsaw and EU institutions in Brussels through networks. Facilities include executive education centers shared with firms such as McKinsey & Company and Boston Consulting Group, incubators cooperating with Station F-like ecosystems, and research labs collaborating with think tanks such as Centre for European Policy Studies and Bruegel.
Programs span undergraduate, graduate, MBA, Executive MBA, Master in Management, specialized MSc, and PhD pathways, with joint degrees offered alongside CEMS and double degrees with Johns Hopkins University-affiliated programs and Columbia Business School exchanges. The Master in Management integrates semesters across multiple campuses and partner institutions such as IESE Business School, ESADE Business School, SDA Bocconi School of Management, and WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. Executive MBAs attract participants from corporations like Accor, L’Oréal, and Airbus. Short courses and open-enrolment modules are delivered in collaboration with consulting firms Deloitte and PwC, while doctoral supervision is coordinated with research centers affiliated to CNRS and Max Planck Society.
Research outputs appear in journals such as Harvard Business Review, Journal of International Business Studies, and Strategic Management Journal, with faculty publishing monographs alongside presses like Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. Centers of excellence focus on topics aligned with industry partners including Tesla, Amazon, and Alibaba Group.

Collaborative grants have been awarded by bodies like European Commission programs and research foundations such as ERC and Horizon 2020 partners.
Admissions combine competitive entry assessments, interviews, and language proficiency requirements referencing tests like TOEFL, IELTS, and GMAT. Student demographics include candidates from corporations such as Siemens and Renault and international cohorts from regions represented by alumni networks tied to UNESCO and ILO. Student associations organize events with guest speakers from European Commission, European Central Bank, and World Bank delegations, while career services run recruiting fairs with firms such as Goldman Sachs, PwC, EY, and KPMG. Campus life features multicultural societies, consulting clubs collaborating with Junior Enterprise Europe, entrepreneurship incubators linked to Seedcamp, and sports teams competing in university tournaments alongside peers from King's College London and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
