Hervé, Nihit, imaginative learning experience
French student Indian student
The Master in Management is designed to help students develop
a global vision of business as well as leadership and managerial
abilities. ESSEC Business School expects its graduates to have
an impact on the world which means developing the skills
in critical thinking for carefully considered risk-taking.

The program relies on a wide range of learning methods including

lectures, online tutorials, case studies, interactive seminars,
simulation games, coursework and individual and team projects.

Anchored in a case-based and learning-by-doing

approach, the faculty presents students with international
management situations. Solutions that emerge often reflect
the cultural and academic diversity of the students.

Students come from top

institutions in their respective
countries and so it is a pleasure to
work with them. They are dynamic,
eager to learn and work very hard
to achieve their goals. In my opinion
ESSEC offers one of the best
environments to foster their abilities
and help them in launching their
future careers.
