Programmes

Whether you're a recent graduate or still studying, ESCP Europe has the perfect solution for summer study.

All three courses run in parallel, with students coming together for collective General Management Training before and during their chosen specialisation. Each programme runs for 12 days (Mondays to Thursdays), concluding in a farewell party. 

The application process for the 2012 Summer Courses will open Monday, 13th February.

For your area of specialised study, take your pick from:

International Management
This covers general areas of international business and management, such as Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Strategy. It will give you an opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of specific business/management functions, with key learning outcomes divided into three categories: Knowledge (common management and business issues), Skills (project management and communication) and Attitude (developing a professional ‘can-do’ perspective).

Marketing Today
We will cover the key elements of Marketing Management in a contemporary context, focusing on both traditional, proven techniques as well as on the latest developments in the science and practice of Marketing.

These classes are joint sessions, with participants coming together to benefit from a comprehensive and intensive general management education.

You will be taken through a real-life case study and shown the hands-on process needed to complete the successful turnaround of a company. These sessions will also address communication techniques, such as public speaking and how to put together effective presentations.

Classes will include guest speakers and company visits appropriate for all three courses.

2011 was another exceptional year for ESCP Europe's Summer Course sessions. The high praise our students gave us was testament to the high level of education on which we pride ourselves:

"I would definitely recommend the Finance in London course. The learning environment is superb and the networking experience is unique. The diversity is also amazing: there were over 20 countries represented just in my class. The courses were all well structured and taught by an excellent faculty, with the professors bridging the gap between academia and practice to deliver material that is stimulating, relevant and practical." - 2011 Finance in London student


"The teaching methods employed at ESCP Europe focus on realistic environments with highly enthusiastic, genuinely caring lecturers who are expert in their field.

Furthermore, the opportunity to be educated outside the traditional lecture theatre set-up provided an insight into the financial sector unobtainable at university. For instance, the BNP Paribas Trading Room simulation was a unique opportunity.  Experiencing first-hand the intensity and realities of trading, and speaking to industry professionals has undoubtedly been a significant benefit to deciding upon my chosen career. Additionally, the School’s Careers Advisor Laura Raznick offered invaluable advice and encouragement far exceeding any other careers advice I have previously received. 

Such a committed and dedicate group of individuals ensure ESCP Europe’s Finance in London Summer Course is vastly rewarding. It is without a doubt an extremely productive and enjoyable option for the summer. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to any undergraduate, studying in a Finance related field, who aspires to learn more about this highly diverse and challenging sector. ESCP Europe offers a safe and welcoming environment which supports their students every step of the way while pushing them to reach their potential." - 2011 Finance in London student

In 2010, our students said:

"The individual modules I studied were of great interest to me. The discussions of how different companies are reacting to the global economy gave me the opportunity to form a profound understanding of business. The Trading Room experience and the real-life case studies were exactly what I was looking for: extremely practical and interactive. I hope the skills I acquired will allow me to start a career in the financial sector." - 2010 Finance in London student.

"My decision to join the ESCP Europe Summer Course programme was validated from the start. There is an excellent atmosphere and the course structure is rigorous yet flexible enough to accommodate my specific research interests. My experience at ESCP Europe can only be described as unforgettable." - 2010 Marketing in Practice student.

"The ESCP Europe ‘Finance in London’ Summer Course provided everything I was looking for: a fascinating theoretical and practical experience where I worked alongside a highly motivated class of people from a wide range of nationalities and backgrounds.

I highly recommend the course for students wanting to improve their knowledge in Finance, and especially those wanting to help their CV stand out from all the others." - 2010 Finance in London student.
