European School of Economics

The European School of Economics (ESE) is a private higher-education institution founded in Italy in 1994, offering internationally focused education in business, economics, management, finance, marketing, media and communications. ESE operates study centres in major European cities including London, Rome, Milan, Florence, Genoa and Madrid, allowing students to experience an international and flexible learning environment. The institution provides UK bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, MBA programmes and specialised short programmes. At undergraduate level, students can pursue Bachelor of Science (Honours) programmes in areas such as Marketing, Finance, Management, and Media and Communications. At postgraduate level, ESE offers master’s programmes in Finance, Management and Marketing, together with MBA study options. ESE states that it has accreditation and recognition arrangements involving organisations such as the Accreditation Service for International Colleges (ASIC), and it is associated with UK listed-body arrangements, UCAS, the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) and Erasmus+ opportunities. The institution follows an international and flexible approach to study, with its three-year bachelor’s programme allowing students to study and potentially transfer between ESE centres during their academic journey. Practical experience is an important component of the ESE educational model, with students completing internships during their studies and accessing opportunities through ESE’s international network of more than 1,500 organisations. This provides students with opportunities to gain practical exposure and develop professional skills alongside academic learning. ESE admissions operate on a rolling basis for individual intakes, although the number of places available at each campus may be limited. Overall, ESE focuses on combining business-oriented academic education, international mobility, practical internship experience and exposure to different European business environments. Its multi-campus structure can provide students with opportunities to experience different locations while continuing their studies, making the institution particularly focused on international business education and professional development.
