Programme Structure

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ESCP a Grande École?

Yes. ESCP is one of France’s grandes écoles and holds triple accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA). The Bachelor in Management is the undergraduate entry point into the ESCP academic community, distinct from the traditional French concours-based Grande École pathway which leads to the Master in Management.

What languages do I need for the ESCP BSc?

Strong English is essential — the programme is delivered primarily in English. As you will study in multiple European countries, you will also develop (or strengthen) additional European languages during the programme. ESCP has language centres at each campus to support this.

Can I choose which campuses I study at?

Students express preferences during the application process. Final campus assignments take into account both student preferences and availability. All five ESCP campuses — Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, and Turin — are available within the BSc programme.
