European Business

Our Master in European Business – or MEB - programme provides an excellent connection to the world of business and a solid foundation for an international management career across a wide range of sectors, organisations and positions.

Over two semesters, students are given the choice to study in Europe at one of the five ESCP Europe campuses and with our partner institutions across the world: MDI, Gurgaon, India; AIT of Bangkok, Thailand; and ITESM of Monterrey, Mexico.

The MEB offers the opportunity to learn about business reality and professional behaviour in an international context. Students receive a comprehensive education in the major fields of management, such as marketing, finance, accounting and strategy. They work in groups from different educational backgrounds, fostering their personal development at the same time.

The MEB combines theory and practice, with integral parts of the programme being live company consultancy projects, during which teams of students are briefed by a corporate client and provide solutions and proposals therein; and a professional internship, where students work for a minimum of three months within a company.

There is no doubt that the MEB is very rewarding, both in terms of personal development and the future career progression of our graduates.
