ESSEC Business School

ESSEC Business School is one of France's most prestigious grandes écoles in business, consistently ranked among Europe's top 5 business schools (QS, Financial Times). Founded in 1907 and accredited by AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA, ESSEC is known for its distinctive luxury, retail, and fashion business programs — many global luxury brands (LVMH, Kering, L'Oréal) specifically recruit from ESSEC's luxury management programs. Campuses are located in Cergy (30 minutes from Paris), Singapore, and Morocco — giving students a genuinely multinational education footprint.

ESSEC offers the Master in Management (MSc-level, 3–5 years, €14,000/year) and specialized MSc programs in Finance, Marketing, Data Analytics, and Hospitality Management at tuition of €20,000–30,000/year. The MBA program costs €49,000 over 15 months. ESSEC has a particularly strong Eiffel Excellence Scholarship reception rate — a significant number of Eiffel scholarship holders choose ESSEC for their master's studies. The school's Singapore campus gives graduates direct entry into Southeast Asian markets, which is strategically relevant for Nepali professionals with regional ambitions.
