Five Reasons to Join the Master in Management at ESSEC

Deciding to start a Master in Management at ESSEC is a big decision for aspiring managers. Is pursuing a Master in Management program offered by a top business school like ESSEC worth the time? Are the financial investment and the demanding entry requirements worth it?
If you're preparing to enter the competitive business world of today, I believe it is.

An MiM graduate degree will offer you a wealth of advantages.
Getting a high salary after graduation, landing a management position, or even becoming your own boss are just a few other advantages. 

1. Get free access to a large business network
As an ESSEC MiM student, you have great networking opportunities. You’ll get to interact with colleagues, professors and teaching staff (business people with great management experience). And this context will accentuate your business management capabilities.

Finally, you gain access to the extensive alumni network of that particular MiM programme. Your connections will give you a great overview of the business world. Be ready for a deep understanding of the slightest changes in the business environment. You can reflect on some big business issues, and make connections between various global events and world affairs.
At ESSEC, you will have access to a network of 50’000 alumni all around the world. 

2. Higher salary for working professionals
The average salary for an MiM graduate is much higher than an employee with a regular Bachelor. You can expect to earn twice as much as what you would expect from a regular university degree. The average wage after three years for ESSEC students (according to the Financial Times Ranking) was 93’461$ in 2018, growing faster on a year to year basis.

3. Start your own company from scratch
Many students choose an ESSEC MiM because they want to become entrepreneurs and learn how to run a business. They have a big dream and want to know how to turn it into reality. An ESSEC MiM will help you acquire business practices needed to start a new business or help existing ones grow. At ESSEC, you will be able to access 2 incubators that already raised 300M in Equity, financing 400 start-up with a success rate of 72% (compared with the 30% market average).

Many MiM graduates end up starting their own business. Those who don’t, land middle-level or top-level management positions within big companies. Just imagine how becoming your own boss would feel like.





4. Experience a new place and culture
By earning an MiM abroad, you will gain a new perspective on how businesses are handled and get to live in a foreign country. This will broaden your cultural horizon and your business career prospects. In case of ESSEC, you will have the opportunity to study in Paris, Singapore and Rabat or to go to hundreds of possible exchanges both at MBA and MiM level.  

5. The Learn By Doing Approach 
At ESSEC, you will be able to choose between more than 200 courses every trimester, including many Specializations and Chairs. Those particular programs are unique partnerships with companies, and allow you to really understand how to implement what you have learnt at school. Classes and lectures are often based on real-life cases that very often are presented and discussed by ESSEC partner enterprises. In this way, you will be able to develop tangible management skills.
