Dear All,

Until last year ESSEC France was offering a traditional Full Time 2 year MBA program for people with relatively low work experience. This program was highly reputed in France as it was part of the French Grand Ecole system, putting it in the league of HEC. ESSEC also offers various MSc and MBA programs in Luxury and hospitality management. The later being their flagship programs leaning more towards the traditional MBAs.

A few months back ESSEC decided to change their strategy and move towards a system wherein they would follow the European 1 Yr. MBA program format more suited for mid management students with around 5 yrs of work experience. They have now done away with the old 2 yr program and converted it into an MSc. in Management.

This new program seems very interesting with various aspects such as:
- 1 Yr program
- Location: Paris
- Small intake: 40 students
- Very strict criteria for selection
- Looking to compete with the IMD, INSEAD, LBS bracket in the near to distant future.
- Indian Associate Dean - Ashok Som http://www.ashoksom.com/
- Two Field trips - Eastern Europe and Singapore
- Capstone Seminar and Consulting Project
- And much More

More info. can be found on http://www.essec.edu/

As stated earlier the program seems very interesting and could really become big, just wanted to let the other members know about the program and we could discuss it in more detail.

Thanks,

URSB.
