Education
The Marketing Department aims to give Essec students, wishing to concentrate in marketing, the ability to customize their curriculum. Students are first required to take one or two compulsory courses in order to become familiar with the basic concepts and the logical framework of marketing. Once students have completed these prerequisites, they can design their own marketing curriculum in order to suit their individual career plans (operational or research). Students can also take specialized courses in different sectors through the Department’s four chairs.

FMCG Chair: Together let's build together tomorrow's consumption!
The Fast Moving Consumer Goods sector is undergoing major changes: digital revolution, uberisation of business models by start-ups, power takeovers by consumers, and greater social responsibilities. The Chair provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-play of the sector: its actors, its prospects and challenges ahead. The Chair also offers a platform for debate and exchange of opinions around a very engaged community (FMCG companies, retailers, public authorities, associations...) to build with students tomorrow's consumption: a more responsible, agile and creative consumption.
LVMH Chair
Created in 1991, the LVMH Chair is the longest-standing program worldwide specifically dedicated to luxury brand management. This highly selective program trains talents for careers in the luxury industry by offering a unique experience that combines the acquisition of theoretical knowledge with practical expertise. In addition to internships and company visits, seminars led by LVMH Group's managers make it possible to discover the various luxury brands and to tackle issues such as the launch of a new fragrance or the management of a digital strategy. Field projects where students are assigned to a real project with one of the LVMH houses and get to work in close contact with the brand’s management are another unique opportunity.
