Bachelor in Management (BSc)

ESCP's Bachelor in Management is a three-year, 180-ECTS undergraduate degree with an unusual structure: you spend each of the three years on a different one of ESCP's European campuses, choosing from Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Turin and Warsaw. This is not a study-abroad semester bolted onto a domestic degree — the multi-campus rotation is the degree. ESCP was founded in Paris in 1819 and is the oldest business school in the world; it holds triple accreditation from AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA, and the school reports more than eighty nationalities across the bachelor cohort.

The curriculum pairs management fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, economics, statistics, strategy, organisational behaviour — with a genuine liberal arts and humanities component covering philosophy, history, geopolitics and literature, on the argument that managers who have only studied management make poor managers. The third year opens up through majors and electives, and internships or social-impact projects are built in rather than optional. Teaching is primarily in English, with some courses in French, particularly on the Paris campus.

For Sri Lankan students coming out of Cambridge, Edexcel or IB, this is one of the few undergraduate business degrees where the international exposure is structural rather than marketing copy — you will have lived, studied and worked in three European countries by the time you graduate, in three languages' worth of business environments. Two things to plan for honestly. The first is that moving campus each year means dealing with a new national immigration process each time, and the Sri Lankan passport makes that administratively heavier than it is for an EU classmate — ESCP's mobility office handles the process, but you should ask exactly how it works for a non-EU student before you commit. The second is that your post-study work rights depend on which country you finish in, not on ESCP as an institution, so decide that with intent rather than by default.
