International seminar
The international seminar builds on ESCP Europe’s academic partnerships.
It includes a one-month seminar with the choice between two different destinations in emerging countries:
Either in India, at the SP Jain Institute in Mumbai and in China, at Tongji University in Shanghai or in Brazil, at the Fundaçao de Getulio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro and in Argentina, at the University of San Andres, Buenos Aires
The aims of this seminar are to allow students to be immersed in a new economic, social and cultural context; to take courses in our academic partners’ institutions; to experience the business context of these emerging regions of the world; to reinforce their adaptation skills.
Local company and factory visits complement the academic component of the trip.
Professional mission
From January to April, students must complete an in-company internship of at least 4 months. The Business School assists students in locating internship opportunities and networking with companies. It is to the students’ choice to undertake this mission either in France or abroad.
The internship is an opportunity for practical application of the theoretical concepts learned from courses, with an eye to establishing a career. In many cases, corporate employers consider the internship as a trial period for a permanent position.
The Company Relations Department is, among other things, dedicated to gather placement offers from many companies. The department also organises a series of fairs involving firms, giving Specialized Master students many opportunities to make contact:
- Meeting Companies, which takes place every year in October, is intended for Specialized Masters and 3rd year Master in Management students: over 100 companies are involved, including international banks and audit and consulting firms…
- Conference cycles ‘One hour/One job’ and ‘One hour/One sector’, allow students to fully grasp the reality of different professional functions within companies from various sectors
- The January ESCP Europe Forum brings together around 120 French and international companies to present their job offers.
Professional thesis
Starting in mid-April, students must draft a professional thesis. This individual applied research project is an essential part of the programme since it leads to in-depth analysis. The topic chosen is approved beforehand by an academic advisor and students are taught research methods. The thesis is defended orally to a committee between early November and mid-December.
The thesis marks the culmination of the Specialized Master. It represents 30 of the total of 75 ECTS credits earned over the year.
