Internships
All students on ESCP Europe Master programmes must complete an internship as a part of their studies. These are expected to last a minimum number of weeks which varies from programme to programme.
The Careers Service will support you in the internship search. Internship offers will be advertised via email and on the intranet, although we do encourage all students to source their own placements.

Student life

The London campus covers over 4,000 square metres, which is divided into educational and residential areas. The main part of the building is around 125 years old, with additional teaching and student social accommodation added during the building refurbishment programme that took place in 2003/4. The residential accommodation consists of 30 student rooms and four rooms for visiting staff.

There are eight lecture rooms with seating capacities ranging from 20-150 people, and six breakout/seminar rooms.

Computers are available for student use in the library, BNP Paribas Trading Room and computer room, with a total of 63 computers and four printers, one of which is colour. Wi-fi is also available in most of the building.

Amenities include a student lounge, learning resource centre, small cafe and function space. The Function Room houses a magnificent fireplace and stained glass window, whilst The Chapel (so called as it was the chapel for the building when it was an ecclesiastical college) has the original vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows. The central courtyard provides an oasis within the School.

Student Life
ESCP Europe students are very active in student associations, both within the School and in the wider community. There are limitless opportunities for social exchange and both personal and professional development through involvement in these associations, which create and organise several situations where students can exchange and share their experiences.

Our links with the corporate world in the UK are strong, and there are many opportunities for our students to attend corporate presentations and interviews, which help them make informed decisions regarding their career plans and assist them with their internship search.

Living in London
Whether you are studying the Masters in Management or in European Business, we hope you are happy with your choice and that you take full advantage of it. However, being accepted onto your course is only the first step of several that you need to take namely figuring out how to survive in and enjoy London life.
When we asked a recent student what the best way of settling into London was, they said: "just get lost, and try to find your way back". This is not something we recommend you take too literally, but it certainly proves one thing: how overwhelming everything can seem at first. Its not cheap, but it is fun. Its not simple, but it is worth it.

One of your first priorities will be finding where to live during your studies and opening a bank account. Without a bank account you cannot do many of the vital things in life, so we suggest you get this as soon as you can. Be warned, you will need to find somewhere to live before you do so, as UK banks will only accept you if you have an English address. The only bank account available to you if you set one up online is called a Basic Bank Account. This is not as limited as it sounds as you will get cash machine withdrawals (up to £200 per day), the ability to set up standing orders and direct debits, telephone and internet banking the kind of things the average student wants and needs. If you want a more sophisticated bank account then you can always upgrade to one once you have moved to London. Either way, remember one thing: this is worth doing as soon as you can.
