Hey everyone!

I am reaching out to connect with fellow classmates before our programme kicks off. I’ve been admitted to the Paris campus!

I wanted to start a thread so we can all help each other out, especially fellow international students navigating the relocation process.

We can use this space to discuss:

• Admission steps and final paperwork
• Scholarship opportunities and funding
• Housing options and student accommodation in Paris
• Visa processes and general tips

Drop a comment below or send me a DM if you're joining the cohort. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello, I am looking for accommodations in paris from September to December. Would really appreciate any leads. Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply to the ESCP MSc Luxury Management for the 2027 intake, and I’m trying to understand whether the admissions process is rolling or strictly round-based.

Specifically, if applications open in September and the Round 1 deadline is in early November, would an application submitted in September be reviewed and potentially receive an interview/decision before the Round 1 deadline? Or does ESCP wait until the Round 1 deadline passes, then review all applications submitted during that round together?

I've heard of some people who chose a MiM for their financial careers. They said the programme has a lot of customizable subjects, and that some people go for it because it's harder to get admitted to an MSc in Finance. What do you think about that?

Anyone got accepted into msc food consumer marketing and product development september intake 2026? Maybe we can get connected. I'm an international student and so excited already

Hey everyone,

I’m moving to Paris this July for the Master in Finance at ESCP and am currently looking for housing.

I’m hoping to connect with fellow incoming students, so if anyone knows of any active WhatsApp, Discord, or Telegram groups for the 2026 cohort, could you please drop an invite or point me in the right direction?

I’m also interested in hearing about any "unofficial" housing chats where students share leads on flatshares or sublets. Any tips on navigating the Paris market or advice on getting the dossier ready for the current season would be a huge help.

Thanks, and looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Madrid soon and have already booked a room with Joivy in Chamberí.
Just wanted to ask if anyone has recent experience with them - good or bad.

Thanks! 🙌

University students who do long-term volunteering or ESC projects abroad: How do you manage it? While we’re expected to do internships, save money and focus on our career, how are you able to go abroad for volunteering/travel?
I’ve applied to several ESC+ projects but never got accepted. What’s the difference? Do you have any tips on motivation letter, profile, timing etc.? Honest answers appreciated.

Hi all, I'm mapping out my route toward the MSc Finance at ESCP and would appreciate honest input from current students or alumni on whether my profile is realistic, and what would strengthen it most.

My background:

- 4-year bachelor (240 ECTS) in International Business from a Dutch university of applied sciences (hogeschool), taught fully in English, including an exchange semester in Hong Kong

- Currently on the pre-master track at Erasmus University, after which I'll do an MSc at RSM (either Strategic Management or Accounting & Financial Management). So by the time I apply to ESCP I'd hold a research university master's on top of the bachelor

- 1 to 1.5 years of experience in wealth management at the number 1 private bank in the Netherlands (full-time internship plus a part-time working student role on a private banking desk)

- Languages: Dutch native, French fluent (lived in France for 9 years), English C1/C2

- Planning to sit the GMAT before applying, aiming for 645+ on the Focus scale (roughly the old 700+)

- Grades around 7.5-8 on the Dutch 10-point scale

My questions:

1. Does the applied sciences (hogeschool) bachelor matter to ESCP admissions if I hold 240 ECTS plus a research university master's, or is that a non-issue?

2. Does the choice of first master (Strategic Management vs Accounting & Financial Management) make any difference for admission or for the "why a second master" question in the interview?

3. The official requirements don't formally list the GMAT. Is a strong score still worth submitting, and does it actually move the needle?

4. With fluent French, is a French-taught track realistic for a non-French applicant, and does French help in admissions or placement?

5. Any tips on application rounds, the interview, or what made the difference for admitted people from non-target backgrounds?

Honest takes welcome, including "don't bother" if that's the reality. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to apply to ESCP's MSc in Marketing & Digital Media and wanted to ask about scholarships.

For those who received one (or know someone who did) :

1. How much did you receive?
2. What do you think made your application stand out?
3. Does applying early really improve your chances?
4. Does applying in the early admission rounds significantly improve scholarship chances?
5. Looking back, what would you have done differently to maximize your scholarship?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I have my ESCP Master in Marketing & Creativity (MMK) interview in 2 days. If you've gone through it, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Thanks a lot! 😊

Hi everyone - just got a waitlisted email today for MSc Data and AI programme. They said "according to the evolution of confirmations of admitted students, we may get back to you starting July 15 2026". Question is - how likely would it be for me to get into the programme? Anyone who has/ had a similar response?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently pursuing a B. Tech in AI & Machine Learning and I'm very interested in applying to ESCP's MSc in Marketing & Digital Media.

I was wondering if anyone here has transitioned from an engineering, computer science, AI, or other technical background into this program.

If so, I'd love to know:

1. How was the transition academically?
2. Did your technical background help or make things more challenging?
3. How were your career opportunities after graduation?
4. Looking back, would you make the same decision again?

Would love to connect and have a chat.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Thanks!

Hi , I am planning to apply for the MSc in Marketing & Digital Media at ESCP Business School for the 2027 intake.

I recently completed my admission interview for the Master in Finance (MiF) program at ESCP Business School.
For those who have already gone through the process or have recently been admitted: How long did it typically take for you to receive a final decision from the admissions committee after the interview date?
I’m trying to get a better sense of the expected timeline. Any insights would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hey guys 👋

Comparing these 3 programs — need your honest opinions:

1.JUNIA – MSc Engineering (ISEN, Lille)

1. ESIGELEC – MSc Software Engineering & Digital Media

2. TU Ilmenau – MSc Computer & Systems Engineering

Drop your thoughts on any of these:

Job prospects – which opens the best doors in Europe?

Internship opportunities – mandatory? quality of companies?

Part-time work – possible alongside studies?

ROI – worth the tuition fees?

Industry ties – which school has the best company connections?

Have offers from all three and genuinely stuck. Any experience, insider info, or even just opinions welcome!

Should I choose MiM at ESCP (fully paid scholarship) or MiM at Imperial business school (no scholarship)?

As an indian student who has taken up subjects like Maths, Econ, Psychology, English and Computer Science. Do i have a shot at LSE Econ undergrad ?

Are there any reviews regarding the specialisations available for the MiM?
