- ESSEC is accredited by the French Ministry of Education.
ESSEC's flagship postgraduate programme is its Master of Science in Management, designed for students with no professional experience (instead of managers with 3–5 years of experience like US or UK MBA programs). The diploma is only delivered upon completion of a required amount of time spent in internships.
, and as such it requires passing a selective entrance examination, the "Concours Grandes Ecoles".
It takes place between May and June. Every year, ESSEC recruits about 360 students through this examination process.
Most of the students who sit for the entrance examination come from the French “classes préparatoires”, also called “classes prépa”. The “classes préparatoires” last two years and their only purpose is to prepare students for the French Business Schools’ selective entrance examination.
ESSEC, along with many other business schools, tests the candidates on their knowledge in mathematics, economics, history, philosophy, general culture and languages. The candidates must also pass a series of oral exams in order to enter the school.
Many students in "classes préparatoires" choose not to pass the ESSEC exam because they consider it is too difficult, as the selectivity rate is rather low (less than 15%). There are approximately 16,000 undergraduate students who follow this academic training known as "prépa économiques et commerciales".
