"By building upon its roots, both French and European, ESSEC has taken a conscious step into the increasingly global market of higher management education, in which competition is stiff and many structural changes are in progress. Schools are merging, forming privileged partnerships across national boundaries and setting up subsidiaries. The strong alliance with Mannheim, a consequential international network, and a strategic presence in Asia place ESSEC among the key players.
The quality of a higher education institution is, first and foremost, a reflection of the quality of its Faculty. ESSEC is an academic institution of excellence where research activity feeds the act of teaching on a daily basis and infuses our collaborations with business. 110 permanent professors, educated by the world’s top universities, carry on ESSEC’s world-renowned tradition for academic excellence. The greatest asset to ESSEC’s ambition and dynamism is a Faculty capable of marrying the richness of our European heritage with the complexity of a global world."
