Testimonial

"After I finished my engineering degree, I didn’t want to enter the workforce with exclusively technical credentials. My curiosity and interest in economics, the business world, and management naturally led me to look into a Master’s-level degree at a business school. Since I had already spent a year abroad at an American university, I was also looking for a programme with a strong international component, which is one of the advantages of ESCP Europe in general, and of this particular Specialized Master.

As soon as I finished the Specialized Master’ course requirements, I was hired by a major French bank and could get my bearings in a major service-based multinational. Today (five years after the Specialized Master), my career trajectory (first as a contractor, then as project manager in organizational consulting and customer service) would not have been possible without the Specialized Master, or at least not with such a rapid progression. 

In addition to the ESCP Europe Alumni network, there’s a real network of Specialized Master graduates. Besides staying in contact with other alumni, I maintain close ties to the Specialized Master. Every year, I sit on thesis oral defense committees, organize round table meetings on the field of consulting, and participate in special events for the Specialized Master."
