The European Executive MBA offers you a broad curriculum taught by professors who are aware of the needs of high-potential managers.
The wide range of subjects and the programme´s flexibility will allow you to align your learning with your daily professional reality and your career objectives.
The curriculum is made-up of the following elements:
- 9 Core Courses
- 12 Electives (a portfolio of 34 courses is offered across the 5 ESCP Europe campuses)
- 5 Thematic Seminars
- International Consulting Project
- An On-line e-learning portal
Core Courses
Core courses are the foundation of the MBA curriculum. Participants are introduced to the major management disciplines and exposed to state-of-the-art theory, concepts and real-life business practices. These courses are taken within each study track and involve lectures, case studies as well as individual and group work.
All core courses are mandatory and are assessed through formal reports, presentations or an exam in the case of Corporate Finance.
Choose your MBA Core Course Location
ESCP Europe offers 6 different 18-month core course locations or "home bases" to suit our EMBA participant´s professional and personal schedules.
Paris
All core courses take place on the ESCP Europe Paris Campus. There are 10 core course modules, which last 3 days each, spread over the 18-month programme.
Most of the core courses for this location are taught in French and students will be expected to complete most of their assignments in French.
In addition to core course modules, the following must also be completed to attain the European Executive MBA degree:
- Completion of 12 Electives on our 5 European campuses: Friday to Saturday
- Attendance at 5 International Seminars
- Fulfilment of an International Consulting Project
Elective courses
Electives are 12-hour courses designed to complement core courses. Each MBA participant chooses 12 electives from a portfolio of 34 enabling them to personalise their curriculum and focus on either a specific management skill or a variety of skills to reinforce and enhance their knowledge of different management areas.
The wide range of subjects and the programme´s flexibility will allow you to align your learning with your daily professional reality and your career objectives. The elective courses portfolio is classified into three major categories:
- Marketing and Strategy
- Finance and Control
- Leadership and Management
International Consulting Project
The International Consulting Project (ICP) is an integral part of the programme's pedagogical dynamic. The ICP is designed to provide participants with a collaborative, multi-disciplinary and often intercultural work experience on a real-life strategic challenge and to put into practice the concepts and theory acquired during the MBA.
In groups, participants are expected to perform an in-depth analysis of a situation or an issue faced by a company and to make recommendations for actions that can realistically be implemented by the firm.
This 8 to 12-month team project will allow participants to use and to consolidate their understanding of the concepts and tools presented during the programme:
- either in a business context with which he/she is not familiar,
- or in collaboration with his/her employer.
The ICP results in a series of recommendations that the company can implement to meet the strategic challenge at hand. The company sponsor receives a comprehensive written report and the conclusions of the project are presented to an academic jury.
Thematic seminars
The programme includes five week-long seminars which are each designed to explore a specific theme related to the business environment in all its dimensions. These seminars also provide participants with great opportunities to dialogue with their MBA peers and share knowledge and experience.
The 5 seminars provide our participants with the opportunity to:
- Explore a specific theme related to the business environment in all its dimensions.
- Encourage dialogue between MBA participants of all tracks.
- Attend classes and conferences
- Go on company visits or listen to corporate testimonials
- Travel to the location where there is action and expertise on the topic

Accreditation
Accreditations
ESCP Europe
State-recognized school
There are over 200 schools offering business and management degrees in France; of these, only about half are recognized by the State. ESCP Europe is one of these.
EQUIS
The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) has established high standards for the quality assessment of business schools: the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). Of the several hundred business schools in Europe, 59 have achieved EQUIS accreditation; ESCP Europe obtained its first accreditation in 1998, and was reaccredited in 2003 and in 2009.
AACSB
is the leading American accrediting body of business schools. For many years non-American business schools have enjoyed "membership" in the AACSB but only a very few have been accredited by AACSB. AACSB accreditation means that the business school meets the same very high quality standards demanded of top American business schools. ESCP Europe’s degree programmes were accredited in 2003.
3 National Memberships
Most European countries have a tightly-knit association of top business schools in the country.
In France, it is the "Conférence des Grandes Ecoles" (CGE) which includes 32 management schools.
In the UK, ESCP Europe is a member of the Association of Business Schools (ABS), grouping 102 leading business schools.
In Germany, ESCP Europe is one of the founding members of the VHP, (Verband der privaten Hochschulen), the German federation of private universities, which was created in 2004 and represents the common interests of 30 private universities.

Master in ManagementState-recognized degrees
If a school's degree is recognized by the French Ministry of Education ("diplôme visé"), its degree is a State degree. A special commission appointed by the Ministry of Education determines which schools may deliver a state recognized degree. ESCP Europe is one of about 90 in France authorized to do so.
ESCP Europe is also authorized by the Berlin Senator for Education, Science and Research to deliver the state-recognized degrees "Diplom-Kaufmann/-frau" and "Master of Science (M.Sc.)".
Grade de Master
The Ministry-appointed special commission has authorized 53 business schools in France to deliver a Master degree in management ("grade de master"), representing 5 years of higher education. ESCP Europe is one of these schools and the Master in Management has the official French title of grade de master.
International Validation
In Germany, the Berlin Campus delivers the state-recognized degrees "Diplom-Kaufmann/-frau" and "Master of Science (M.Sc.)".
In the UK, some universities holding a university charter establish specific quality standards which they use to evaluate the quality of education carried out by another academic institution. If the chartered university finds the quality up to standard, it may, under specific conditions, "validate" the institution's degree. ESCP Europe's Master in Management is validated by City University as a European Master in Management (MSc).
In Italy, by virtue of the school’s academic association with the University of Torino (Faculty of Economics) for the Italian campus, ESCP Europe also enjoys validation of its Master in Management as a Laurea magistrale.
In Spain, the Master in Management is officially recognized by the Carlos III University of Madrid and awarded the title of Master Europeo en Administración y Dirección de Empresas, ESCP Europe.
CFA Program Partner
ESCP Europe is a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Program Partner. CFA Programme Partners are selected colleges and universities around the world that have embedded a significant percentage (70%) of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge into their degree programs. In addition, these institutions have committed to covering CFA Institute ethical and professional standards in these degree programs. Recognition as a CFA Partner provides a signal to potential students, current students, and the marketplace that the university curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is well suited to preparing students to sit for the CFA exams.
