The Berlin year of each of the three years is taught in English: French is the second language of instruction only on the Paris campus (DELF/TCF B1 for year 2, C1 for year 3). The key-facts box describes the whole programme as "English (some courses in French)". A student can therefore complete an all-English track, but only if Paris is not one of the three campuses.

Campus-based on five urban campuses (Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Turin), one per year, with the thesis guided by faculty on the campuses attended. ESCP also lists an "Innovative Blended Learning Model" among the highlights without explaining it anywhere on the page; no online or distance option is offered, so the programme is recorded as on-campus.

Three years = six semesters; DAAD also lists 6 semesters. Each year is spent in a different country ("3 years in 3 countries") and Berlin is one of the options in each of the three years, so the Berlin share is at most one of the three years, i.e. 60 of the 180 ECTS - and it can be none, because a track can run entirely through London, Madrid, Paris and Turin. The student does not fix it in advance: the offer of admission sets only the year-1 campus, and "The second and the third campuses will be determined during the first year"; ESCP warns that "our campus places are limited" and that "you might not get your first preferred campus if some campuses are already full".

The calendar is not by study campus but by the campus that handles the application, chosen from the applicant's country of residence: in the page's own country list India is handled by London, Nigeria and Pakistan by Paris, and only Germany and 27 other countries by Berlin. The London table (India) carries exactly the same six rounds as the Berlin one and is quoted here; the Paris table (Nigeria, Pakistan) matches it except that its fifth round is given only as "April 2027". Turin has a seventh, earlier round (27 October 2026). Admission results follow three to five weeks later. ESCP publishes no separate or earlier deadline for applicants who need a visa on this page: it says only "It is recommended that you begin the visa process as soon as you receive your high school diploma" and names Laetitia Andriamiadana (visasupport.berlin@escp.eu) as the Berlin visa contact. Applicants who need a German study visa should weigh the last round (20 May 2027, results by 15 June 2027) against the time a German visa takes; the three Berlin-based MSc programmes close non-EU applications in March for exactly that reason.

Non-EU tuition
€23,900 per year (new students from winter 2027/28) Non-European tuition per year; mandatory additional fees of €2,900 a year bring the total to €26,800 a year, i.e. about €80,400 over three years.

escp.eu/programmes/bachelor-in-management-BSc · checked 14 November 2026

Applicants from India, Nigeria and Pakistan pay the non-European fee. The amount does not depend on the campus, although the cost of living does (ESCP estimates €1,000-€1,700 a month in Berlin, the cheapest of the five campuses). "Total fees are indicative and may vary from year to year." Scholarships covering 10-50% of tuition exist on merit, diversity and financial-need grounds but are not standing discounts.

Selection procedure

“Step 2: Personal Interview Successful applicants will be invited to attend an online interview with at least two people, including faculty members. The interview is designed to assess the candidates' motivation, the match between the profile and the curriculum, and their personality (adaptability, maturity, openness to an international experience, etc.).”

No number of places is published. Admission rests on the file and a scored interview with at least two assessors, so this is a selection procedure. ESCP adds that places on each campus are limited and that an applicant may not get their preferred campus; a share of places is reserved for candidates applying through the French Parcoursup platform.

Accredited by ACQUIN, the German agency that accredits ESCP's Berlin degree programmes. Important for applicants who want a German degree: the primary qualification is the French "grade de licence", awarded by French ministerial decree of 21 July 2022 and registered in the French RNCP (sheet 36562). A German degree and a UK degree are issued in addition only "by complying with certain requirements", which ESCP does not spell out anywhere on the page. Students who want the German certificate should ask ESCP in writing which requirements apply (presumably a minimum time on the Berlin campus).

Admission

What you need to apply

School certificate
A high school diploma; ESCP says various education systems are accepted and names none. Applicants submit academic transcripts of the last three years translated into English, their secondary school examination certificates (on receipt if not yet obtained), a personal statement in English, a CV, language certificates and a copy of their ID or passport; an academic reference is optional.

“Academic admission requirements Secondary school leaving certificate qualifying for higher education (e.g. Abitur or equivalent)” page

escp.eu/programmes/bachelor-in-management-BSc · checked 14 November 2026

The entry ESCP files with DAAD is more precise than its own page: it asks for a "Secondary school leaving certificate qualifying for higher education (e.g. Abitur or equivalent)", i.e. a Hochschulzugangsberechtigung. ESCP publishes no country table and does not say whether an Indian, Nigerian or Pakistani school-leaving certificate (12 years) gives direct entry or whether a Studienkolleg or one year of university study is needed first. That question matters because the German degree is issued only "by complying with certain requirements" and because the German study visa follows the Hochschulzugangsberechtigung rules, not ESCP's. Applicants should ask ESCP and check the German mission's rules for their country. Transfer into year 2 is possible for students who have completed a first year of a management, economics or finance bachelor's with microeconomics and 60 ECTS.

Subject requirements
No school subject is compulsory. The entry ESCP files with DAAD says it looks for "Strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and languages".

ESCP's own page names no required school subject and no grade. The year-2 transfer route does require microeconomics as a study subject in the first year completed elsewhere.

ESCP offers no foundation year, Studienkolleg or pre-bachelor course for this programme. The one-year Pre-Master Year is a postgraduate entry route to the Master in Management and is taught in Paris and Turin only.

"TOEFL iBT 4.5" is on the 1-6 band scale introduced in January 2026, so it is recorded in toeflIbtBand; ESCP gives no equivalent 0-120 score. CAE 180 is the Cambridge C1 Advanced scale score. ESCP notes that some English certificates accepted for admission are not valid for a UK visa application, which matters for the London year rather than the Berlin one. French is tested separately and only for the Paris campus (DELF/TCF B1 for year 2, C1 for year 3).

German
Not needed when applying. During studies: none required; German is one of the optional language courses (Spanish, Italian, French, German, Chinese)

No GMAT, GRE, SAT or other admission test is mentioned for the bachelor's programme; selection is by file and interview.

Selection
Four steps: an online application (directly to ESCP, or through Parcoursup, UCAS or Common App), an online interview with at least two assessors including faculty members, the admission result with the year-1 study track, and enrolment against a €3,500 deposit. The interview assesses motivation, the fit between profile and curriculum, and personality.

Rules for applicants from India, Pakistan and Nigeria

English test waiver
Not stated by the university
2 pages checked, 14 Nov 2026

Not recorded as a waiver, because the two official sources disagree. The entry ESCP files with DAAD says: "English language skills B2 required, proof via placement test/interview". ESCP's own page implies that an exemption exists but never states its basis: the document list says "Language certificates (if not exempted, may be submitted at a later stage)" and "English language test scores (if required)", without saying who is exempt. The only published alternative to a certificate is in the entry ESCP files with DAAD, which says English can be proved by a placement test or an interview - a route open to applicants from India, Nigeria and Pakistan, who all sit an ESCP admission interview anyway. A programme page outranks a third-party database, so applicants should treat IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL iBT 4.5 / CAE 180 as required until ESCP confirms otherwise in writing (bachelorberlin@escp.eu). No exemption on the basis of a school certificate taught in English is published for this programme, although the MSc specialisations based on Paris and Madrid do grant one.
