ESCP MiM Admissions: Requirements, Deadlines and Fees for 2027

ESCP MiM admissions are open to graduates of any discipline with a bachelor's degree, at least B2 English and a GMAT, GRE, CAT or TAGE MAGE score (or ESCP's own test in some cities). It is competitive: the programme ranked 6th in the world in the 2026 Financial Times Master in Management ranking, and shortlisted candidates face a motivational interview.

What is the ESCP Master in Management and who is it for?

The Master in Management is the flagship pre-experience degree at ESCP Business School. It usually takes two years, or up to three if you add gap semesters for internships. You can study in up to four locations, including two ESCP campuses: core courses run in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris or Turin, and specialisations are also offered in Warsaw.

ESCP's current class profile shows around 1,300 students from 57 nationalities, with an average age of 22. Everyone graduates with the French Master Grande École degree, and some students can add a national degree from Germany, the UK or Poland. You must complete at least two internships of two months or more, and ESCP says students build an average of 64 weeks of work experience before graduating.

The ESCP MiM ranking is a long-standing strength: in 2025 ESCP said the programme had spent fourteen years in the FT world top 10.

ESCP Master in Management requirements

  • A bachelor's or master's degree in any discipline; final-year students apply with an enrolment certificate.
  • English at B2 or above, for example IELTS 6.5 or Cambridge FCE 175, from a test taken in the last two years.
  • A GMAT, GRE, CAT or TAGE MAGE score from the last five years. If you studied outside France, you can request the ESCP test instead (offered only in Berlin, London, Madrid and Turin).
  • A CV, personal statement, university transcripts and diploma or enrolment certificate.

There is no published ESCP MiM GMAT minimum, so your score is weighed alongside your grades, statement and interview.
