Module/course Summary
IMPORTANT MESSAGE to be read before considering any application Option E is the entrepreneurial specialisation at ESCP Business School. It is not a usual specialisation. This program is a complete immersion into entrepreneurship.
Option E is more than just a series of courses, it is an intense experiential journey that requires availability, team spirit and a great generosity of effort.
The pedagogical methods of this specialisation are essentially interactive and are based on solving real challenges. This requires participants to be curious, willing to adapt and proactive. Effectiveness, usefulness and satisfaction therefore depend on strong intrinsic motivation. Join this specialisation if you are ambitious, curious, open-minded and if you are looking to live a real entrepreneurial journey.
You will discover new teaching methods such as Art Thinking and Design Thinking. These courses will be taught by ESCP professors and professionals, both experts in their fields.
Mentoring is another great teaching method with real entrepreneurs coming to help on students’ respective projects.
The field trip is one of Option E’s main highlights. This year, the trip took place in Tel Aviv. During 5 working days, the 45-student cohort visited startups, VCs, entrepreneurs, professors and researchers to discover the success story of the Israeli entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Courses are mainly taught in
English.
