Prof. Léon Laulusa, Executive President and Dean; Prof. Francesco Rattalino, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Experience; and Prof. Benoît Heilbrunn, Associate Dean, MBA Programme at ESCP Business School, highlight global mobility, sustainability integration and career outcomes as defining strengths
February 2026: ESCP Business School has reinforced its global MBA positioning following the release of the 2026 Financial Times assessment of leading MBA programmes worldwide.
The ESCP MBA distinguished itself through its international course experience, ESG integration and measurable graduate outcomes — three areas that continue to shape global business education benchmarks.
Built on a multi-campus European model, the programme enables participants to study across at least two campuses among Berlin, London, Madrid, Turin and Paris. Students complete two company consultancy projects in different countries, gaining direct exposure to cross-border business environments and multicultural decision-making frameworks.
This structural mobility has positioned the programme at the forefront of international classroom experience, supported by a highly diverse cohort representing numerous nationalities and professional backgrounds.
Commenting on the results, Prof. Léon Laulusa, Executive President and Dean of ESCP Business School, said the outcome reflects the institution’s long-standing commitment to academic rigour, international collaboration and responsible leadership development.
The MBA also recorded strong performance in sustainability-related criteria, ranking among the leading programmes globally for ESG and net zero teaching. ESG principles are embedded across the core curriculum, with sustainability and entrepreneurship forming integral pillars of the academic structure.
Prof. Francesco Rattalino, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Experience, noted that the programme’s international classroom design, flexible delivery formats and tangible professional outcomes continue to define its value proposition in a rapidly evolving global environment.
Designed for mid-career professionals seeking progression or transition, the ESCP MBA can be completed in up to 22 months and is available in on-campus, online and hybrid formats. Participants may specialise in Consulting, Entrepreneurship, Luxury, or Fintech & Innovation.
Career metrics remain a central strength. According to the Financial Times data, all MBA graduates were employed within three months of graduation, underscoring the programme’s alignment with employer expectations and market demand.
Prof. Benoît Heilbrunn, Associate Dean of the MBA Programme, stated that the programme’s human-centred learning approach prepares leaders to operate across borders while managing complexity with analytical depth and social responsibility.
Founded in 1819, ESCP Business School operates across six European campuses and welcomes more than 11,000 students annually from over 140 nationalities, continuing its multi-century legacy in global management education.
