Aishwarya Kaushik
President of ESCP Women in Leadership Society, ESCP Dean’s Award Recipient
India - Class of 2024
“The opportunity to be a part of the MBA cohort 2023 was a groundbreaking experience for me. From meeting people from 27+ nationalities to learning about the various business aspects this one year has been a great source of growth and transformation. The course work is really extensive with deep learning through practical work and case studies that gives a holistic idea of the subjects. On top of that various exercises such as the Business simulation, supply chain game as well as the company strategy simulation gives a real - time experience of the subjects and teaches how to implement proposed strategies in the actual business scenarios.
As an addition to the MBA experience, being assigned the president of the Women in Leadership society has been a very inspiring journey for me. The values and the mission that the society stands for to create an environment of gender inclusivity and equality is something that I stand for as well and doing the efforts towards it has in some way shaped and formed a sense of growth in all the members as well as the cohort as a whole and this impact makes me super proud. ”

Cynthia Nahas
Customer Engagement Executive at SAP
Lebanon - Class of 2019
“After three years of experience in a FinTech company as a functional consultant, I decided to start a new adventure and challenge myself on different levels, personal and professional. I chose to pursue an MBA degree at ESCP Business School to develop my knowledge in International Management and embark on an international career path, but not only. This experience allowed me to get out of my comfort zone, live in two different countries and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds which enriched this experience and made it one of a kind.”
Core modules and Specialisation:
shape your future
During the 10 to 34 months of your MBA, you will explore various topics through core modules and a specialisation, for a total of around 500 teaching hours.
All core courses will have, as a common axis, the sustainability and the impact on climate change of the companies' strategies, always taking into account the consequences and solutions of climate change on nature, society, business, and the affected territories.
The Core Modules are taught from September to May on two campuses (Paris and Berlin or London) or online. They are followed by a Specialisation from June to July, taking place in Madrid, in Turin or online, based on the theme selected. Finally, July and August are dedicated to the redaction of the Thesis, a compulsory component of the programme that should reflect the experience and learnings acquired during the MBA.
For those studying online, courses take place at the end of each week, at a convenient time for all time zones (around European lunchtime) in order to allow professionals to continue working while pursuing their MBA. Each course is synchronous (live) for the opening and closing, asynchronous (recorded) for the rest of the module, and runs in parallel with the on-campus cohort.
The mindset of the core curriculum can be described as multicultural, entrepreneurial, strategic, sustainable, collaborative and fostering leadership. Subjects such as Data & Business, Sustainability & Entrepreneurship, Finance, Economics, Strategic Leadership or Marketing are part of it.
The Specialisation allows students to dive deeper into a specific subject of their choice:
- Consulting
- Entrepreneurship
- Luxury
- Fintech & Innovation
