ESSEC Business School has been training business leaders since 1907, and its reputation is growing worldwide.
Its recent partnership with the University of Mannheim, the top management school in Germany, the launch of the ESSEC Asian Center in Singapore, and our numerous exchange agreements with the best business schools in the world are the result of a deliberate strategy implemented over several decades. The faculty and student body are becoming increasingly international, and the world is more and more our oyster.
ESSEC is in the process of inventing an original, European model of management rooted in our vision and values. ESSEC has developed values that are its own, and they underpin the School’s development.
Innovation is one of these values: ESSEC’s teaching has always been cutting-edge in order to meet the concerns of the corporate world. Individual Responsibility is reflected in the freedom given to students to build their own curricula. ESSEC trains leaders. Our responsibility to the community also distinguishes us because we are trying to invent a world that makes sense for all of us.
Starting in 1973, ESSEC has empowered its students by enabling them to choose their courses according to their career goals. This experience, which has made ESSEC the first major school to open the apprenticeship program to its students in 1994, has now been extended to all the students in the Group, and especially the ESSEC MBA program with its work-study approach – since 1999, the program includes 22 months of professional experience and academic training. Tutoring, coaching, and student assistance programs makes ESSEC the ideal place to learn and grow.
While an awareness of the vital importance of the society they live in is exemplified through the students’ commitment to non-profit organizations and humanitarian causes, this awareness is also fostered through educational methods that emphasize group work as well as experience in the field. The creation of the first “junior company” in France in 1967, the first specialized academic Chair in 1986, and the first exchange forum between students and companies in 1973 have all facilitated long-term innovative relationships with companies.
In 1997, ESSEC was the first school outside North America to win AACSB accreditation (a world-class reference). In 2002, ESSEC created the European MBA open to ESSEC students in a partnership with the Universities of Warwick and Mannheim. ESSEC Group was awarded the EQUIS accreditation in 2003, a quality label that rewards teaching excellence and potential for innovation in the European educational market.
