ESSEC Business School,

The Pioneering Spirit
CREATED IN 1907, ESSEC BUSINESS SCHOOL IS AN ACADEMIC INSTITUTION OF EXCELLENCE WHICH
THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY ITS PIONEERING SPIRIT.

In both full-time education and executive education, ESSEC proposes a wide range of programs to all those
wanting to obtain an extraordinary learning experience, strengthen their talent, express their leadership and
become truly high-level managers.

A centennial institution with a wide network of academic and corporate partners throughout the world,
International ESSEC has opted to focus its strategic development on three principles: innovation, involvement and
Rankings internationalization which compose the three axes of the ESSEC 3i strategy that will be implemented from
Business Education here until 2020.
2016
2015
An institution nourished by research and committed to an ambitious development of alliances with leading
institutions, ESSEC constantly strives to bring its students face to face with cutting-edge knowledge at the
#3 crossroads of discipline and to provide them with the latest technologies.
Master of Science
in Management
Hallmarked by a profound humanistic tradition, ESSEC has succeeded not only in making the link between
business and society a major subject of research, but it is also one of the fundamental components in the
training of responsible managers. ESSEC thereby affirms the necessity of putting innovation, knowledge and
#7
#6 the creation of value at the service of the wider community.
Master in Finance
With students coming from 84 different countries, a largely international faculty body and a campus in
the Asia-Pacific region since 2005, ESSEC is both an international and multicultural institution. This
#14
#12 internationalization is strengthened by the building of a new, 6,500 m2 campus in Singapore and the
Executive Education implementation of development projects in Africa and Latin America.
Programs
These three axes – innovation, involvement and internationalization – forge ESSEC’s learning philosophy that is
common to all its programs: accompany our students throughout a learning journey aimed at opening them
up to new, unthought-of opportunities. Studying at ESSEC means creating your own path towards the future
and joining a supportive community of 47,000 graduates worldwide!
