100% Recommend ESSEC Business School! I have studied at Singapore Campus, and thanks to the alumni association, I got a 6-month internship offer from a top cosmetics company in Singapore! The networking events are well-organized, and all the courses are practical and useful.
Among the best
While the ESSEC Business School has its challenges, I am very pleased with my decision. This university has provided me with the required skills and information to begin a successful graduate school path. The tough academic environment at ESSEC Business School has fostered discipline in me and the material has been useful. Initially concerned about the school's size, I am now more thankful for choosing ESSEC Business School, as it has provided me with various chances that I am now discovering and embracing on a daily basis.
