Work placements in the form of internships or short employment contracts enable students to apply the theory learned in-class to real-life professional situations, helping in turn to clarify their career goals. As such, work placements are an integral part of the Master in Management programme and the hands-on learning experience.
All students are required to undertake a minimum of 2 work placements lasting at least 2 months each. Students with previous work experience (completed before joining the programme) can validate up to 20 weeks toward the total required. On average, MIM students gain 64 weeks (16 months) of work experience before graduation.
Students have access to an extensive number of partner firms (e.g. consulting firms, major international corporations, investment and commercial banks) via each campus' careers service, which they can contact to secure internships or first jobs.
Work placement objectives
- Gain valuable intercultural experience within a company in any country worldwide
- Put theoretical management methods and techniques into practice in a real-life corporate environment
- Reflect on the experience gained, the management methodology used and more globally, the human dimension of the organisations
- Clarify your career goals
After enrolment in the MIM, students can apply for the apprenticeship track, the ideal way to combine study and professional experience. Over 200 student apprentices participate each year in one of the two Apprenticeship options of the MiM (24 months or 12-14 months). The apprenticeship track combines in-company work experience with academic coursework at ESCP. Apprenticeships are available for all students aged under 30. Employment must be in a company governed under French law; accordingly the students must have a sound knowledge of French.
Why choose the Apprenticeship Track?
- You work in a company and become deeply involved in day-to-day business.
- You exercise day-to-day responsibilities under the guidance of a senior manager, with the support of a tutor.
- You benefit from fee exemption and a monthly salary by your company over the full period of the contract.
