Roughly 98% of the international degree track is international, which is the figure to read here rather than the headcount, because ESCP admits through several routes into one class of about 1,300 students spanning six campuses and 57 nationalities. Average age at entry is 22 — young even by European MiM standards — and pre-programme experience is typically internships rather than jobs. Female representation sits at 50%. The cohort is large on paper but not in daily life: the rotation splinters it into campus-cohorts that move together through the M1 year and re-mix in M2, so the class you actually study with is a fraction of the number below. Our piece on how international a European MiM really is explains why these percentages are not comparable across schools without reading which population each one counts.
A typical ESCP Business School MiM cohort is around 1300 students , drawn from 57 nationalities.

Frequently asked questions
How many ESCP campuses do I have to study on?
Every student on the Master in Management must spend time on at least two of ESCP's six campuses — Paris, Berlin, London, Madrid, Turin, and Warsaw. Most students rotate across two cities, but a meaningful minority opt for three. The choice is made during the first months of the program and shapes the language exposure, recruiting pipeline, and social cohort that defines each graduate's experience.
Is ESCP a CEMS member?
Yes. ESCP is a member of the CEMS Global Alliance, which means MiM students can pursue the joint CEMS Master in International Management as part of the second year. The CEMS route adds a semester at a partner school and a corporate consulting project, and is one of the more competitive specialisations within the ESCP cohort.
How competitive is admission to the ESCP MiM?
ESCP admits roughly 1,300 students per intake across all campuses and entry routes, drawn from a global applicant pool in the tens of thousands. The international degree track — used by most non-French applicants — is competitive but does not publish an explicit acceptance rate. Average admitted GMAT sits around 660, with the typical range running 620 to 720.
What careers do ESCP MiM graduates pursue?
Consulting accounts for roughly 36% of placements, finance 22%, technology 15%, luxury and FMCG 10%, and energy 8%. Top recruiters include McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Roland Berger, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, BNP Paribas, L'Oréal, and Amazon. The reported three-month employment rate is 100% in the most recent class.

- ESCP — Master in Management (official page). Fees re-read 2026-09-04 and the composition is now on the page rather than only here: tuition €21,500/yr for European students and €25,200/yr for non-European students, plus €2,800/yr of student services in both cases — €24,300 and €28,000 a year respectively, which is exactly the €48,600 / €56,000 two-year totals this profile publishes. Also on the page: a €180 non-refundable application fee, €220 per prerequisite course, €1,000 for each additional ESCP campus degree, and reduced student-service costs of €2,000 for any year beyond the second. CORRECTION 2026-09-04: this profile's body said the application fee was "€120 for non-French candidates"; the page states €180 and draws no nationality distinction, and our own 2026-07-05 reading of the same page already recorded €180 ↗ — ESCP Business School
