“In order to enter the Master in Management, you have to comply with three requirements: Having a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in any discipline English fluency (level B2, advanced) Being an internationally-minded student with proven academic excellence”
“Important: different courses are available at each campus and are taught in a specific language, so this can shape the decision of study locations” page

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

English is the only language requirement for admission, and the Berlin specialisations published on the page are all marked [ENG] (Cyber Risk Management, Leading in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Business Innovation, Sustainability Management, Sustainable Finance). ESCP warns that courses at each campus are taught "in a specific language", so some Paris specialisations are in French; a student who stays on the English-taught Berlin track does not need another language.

“Full-time / part-time full-time Programme duration 4 semesters Beginning Winter semester”

www2.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/detail/8531/ · checked 14 November 2026

ESCP's own page does not say "full-time" for the Master in Management; the entry ESCP files with DAAD does. The programme runs over two academic years with two compulsory internships of at least two months each (36 weeks of work experience in total), plus optional gap semesters. An apprenticeship track combining work and study exists, but it is a French arrangement (the page links to it in French only) and ESCP says over 200 student apprentices take it each year in 24-month or 12-14-month options.

Length
4 semesters

“Duration: 2 years”

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

Two years = four semesters (DAAD also lists 4 semesters), organised as M1 and M2 with two study locations each. Berlin can be the location of a whole year: ESCP's own example rotations include "M1 Berlin - Berlin" and "M2 Paris - Berlin". The core courses are taught "in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris or Turin" and the specialisations "in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Turin or Warsaw", so how much of the degree is taught in Germany depends on the student's own campus choices, which must include two ESCP campuses.

Credits
Not stated by the university
2 pages checked, 14 Nov 2026

No ECTS total is published, unlike for ESCP's MSc programmes (120 ECTS) and MBA (120 ECTS). ESCP's own page gives none; the entry ESCP files with DAAD breaks the programme down as nine core courses (33 ECTS), up to three specialisations of 20 ECTS each, electives, the master's thesis (16 ECTS) and seminars and language courses (7 ECTS), which does not add up to a stated total.

The four rounds of the ESCP Direct Admissions route, with admission results three to six weeks later; these are the rounds an applicant from India, Nigeria or Pakistan uses. The separate French "Join a School in France" (SAI) route has its own four rounds for the same intake (2 October 2026, 7 January 2027, 26 February 2027 and 19 April 2027, results by 20 November 2026, 22 February, 19 April and 7 June 2027), and a candidate may use only one of the two routes in a year. ESCP adds that "Choice of application deadline and admissions rounds (interviews and testing) are dictated by your country of residence at the time you apply. For exact application deadlines and corresponding admissions sessions, please refer to the online application", so the dates should be confirmed in the portal; the Berlin campus advises Berlin applicants (mscberlincampus@escp.eu). Two stale calendars exist in the page source but are commented out and do not render: a country-of-residence calendar with 2024/2025 sessions, and the separate /apply page, which still says "Admissions for the intake of September 2025 have closed". No round is reserved for or closed to visa applicants, unlike the three Berlin-based MSc programmes.

Non-EU tuition

Applicants from India, Nigeria and Pakistan pay the non-European fee. The fee does not depend on the campuses chosen, although the cost of living does (ESCP estimates €1,000-€1,700 a month in Berlin). "Total fees are indicative and may vary from year to year." Additional fees for dual degrees with partner universities may apply.

Places
Selection procedure
Source
“The ESCP Master in Management (MiM) offers multiple application rounds each year. While the admissions criteria remain consistent throughout the cycle, we strongly encourage early applications, as competition for places increases significantly in the final rounds. … Step 2 - For selected candidates Motivational interview online”

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

No number of places is published. Admission rests on a management admission test (GMAT, GRE, CAT or TAGE-MAGE, or ESCP's own test for applicants who studied outside France), an English test and a motivational interview, so this is a selection procedure rather than a published cap. ESCP warns that competition for places rises in the final rounds.

Programme accreditation
Not stated by the university
3 pages checked, 14 Nov 2026

No programme accreditation is published for the Master in Management, and ESCP's own pages name no degree title either. The page calls it an "internationally recognised master's degree in management" accessible through the French VAE process, which points to a French qualification; ESCP's three Berlin-based MSc programmes, by contrast, each name their Berlin state accreditation and their ACQUIN accreditation. The entry ESCP files with DAAD for "ESCP Berlin Campus" does give a degree - "Degree Master of Science", course location Berlin, with students "awarded up to three academic degrees at MSc level" - but names no accrediting body or country. Applicants who need a German degree should ask ESCP in writing which certificate the Berlin track leads to.

Admission

What you need to apply

3-year bachelor’s
Accepted
Source
“To be eligible, you must hold a Bachelor degree awarded in a university outside of France after at least three years of university study, or a French Licence , or a degree with a visa Bac+3 from the French Ministry of higher education.”

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

Three years of university study outside France is explicitly enough for the direct admission route, and no ECTS minimum or bridging credits are mentioned. The "Join a School in France" route uses the same wording ("you must hold a Bachelor degree awarded outside France after at least three years of university study").

Subject background
A bachelor's or master's degree in any discipline, English at B2 level, and "proven academic excellence" with an international outlook. Non-management graduates can take "catch-up" courses in accounting, management accounting, statistics, Excel, business law, marketing, organisational behaviour, micro- and macroeconomics, finance and operations management before the autumn term.

"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. FCE 175 is the Cambridge B2 First scale score, consistent with the B2 level stated in the entry requirements. The page source contains a sentence accepting the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition and IELTS Indicator, but it is inside an HTML comment and does not render, so no home-edition rule is recorded for this programme.

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

English at B2 is the only language requirement for admission; no German certificate is asked for, including for a Berlin year, and the entry ESCP files with DAAD says so explicitly. ESCP does warn that courses at each campus are taught in a specific language, so a student choosing German-taught electives would need German; the Berlin specialisations published on the page are marked [ENG]. German language courses are integrated into the programme as an option.

GRE / GMAT / GATE

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

A management admission test is part of the application documents for both the direct and the "Join a School in France" route, and the Indian CAT is accepted alongside GMAT, GRE and the French TAGE-MAGE. There is no minimum score. Applicants with previous studies outside France - which includes everyone applying from India, Nigeria or Pakistan - may ask to sit ESCP's own test instead, available in Berlin, London, Madrid and Turin. (The page source also mentions an "SHL test offered from Berlin Campus online", but that sentence is inside an HTML comment and does not render.)

Selection
Two steps: an online application with transcripts, a certificate of enrolment or diploma, a personal statement, a CV, a management test and an English test, then an online motivational interview for selected candidates. Several rounds a year; which round applies depends on the applicant's country of residence. The "Join a School in France" route adds two academic references and uses an in-person motivational interview.

A candidate may apply either directly or through "Join a School in France", but not both in the same year; ESCP says both are treated equally.

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". The entry ESCP files with DAAD says B2 English can be proved by a placement test or an interview, which is the only published alternative to an external certificate and is open to applicants from India, Nigeria and Pakistan. ESCP's own programme page is less generous: it lists Cambridge, IELTS, TOEIC or TOEFL among the required application documents with minimum scores and names no exemption (the ESCP test it offers replaces the management test, not the English test). A programme page outranks a third-party database, so applicants should treat the certificate as required until ESCP confirms otherwise in writing (mimberlin@escp.eu). No exemption on the basis of a degree or school certificate taught in English is published for this programme, unlike for the MSc programmes.
