Giorgio Armani’s Post

Securing a spot at ESCP Business School The email I received some months ago is the result of a three-years long process, where I constantly challenged myself to be the best student I could, eager to learn and work harder than everybody else. Why ESCP? The academic rigour, the different campuses all over Europe, and the chance to customise the MIM are just some of the decisive factors I took into account. When working on my application, I realised that, in order to get into the program, I had to work on all of my angles, not just the academic one. The fact that ESCP focuses on the whole application, and not just the grades or the GMAT score, made me sure of the choice I was making. A truly remarkable institution, under every aspect. What do you think a business school should prioritise during an admission process? #business #escp #management #admissionprocess

Even though at ESSEC Business School we have our own certification department, so I haven't touched this topic since leaving SAE Institute Paris in late 2022, it's been coming up a lot in recent conversations. As such, I wanted to write a blog post for those who are not familiar with French certifications, given they determine a lot of how these schools function! For anyone looking to work (or already working in) a French institution, hopefully this blog post can help you understand the most important certifications and what impact they have on schools! https://lnkd.in/ebXZpFyr

Such a great impact on pedagogical and administrative Management!

The Graduation Moment That Will Be Missing As I look at the announcement for today's Maastricht School of Management (MSM) graduation ceremony https://lnkd.in/eUjzjCZJ, the bittersweet reality sets in: I won’t be there to walk across the stage and receive the degree I’ve worked so hard for. After three years of dedication, balancing work and studies, and pushing through the challenges of an MBA, today was supposed to be the culmination of all that effort. Yet, despite the virtual ceremony and livestream, the tangible experience of being in Maastricht, wearing that graduation gown, and celebrating with peers is something I’ll miss out on. This situation has made me reflect deeply on the significance of the full academic experience. Like many, I’ve had the opportunity to engage in different learning formats—online, distance, and in-class education—and each has its own value. But there's something profoundly special about being physically present. It’s not just the degree that marks an achievement; it's the relationships formed, the unplanned conversations during coffee breaks, the energy of sitting in a lecture hall with diverse classmates. It’s these human connections that make the journey complete. But as much as I am disappointed about missing out on this milestone, I know the real value lies in the knowledge gained and the personal growth I’ve achieved over the last few years. This is also why I’ve encouraged my wife to pursue a blended MBA, combining the flexibility of online learning with the in-person touch. Having that human connection, even in just a few modules, can make all the difference in shaping your educational journey. To all my fellow graduates, whether present in Maastricht or joining virtually like myself, congratulations. We’ve achieved something significant. And while I may not be there in person, I know the learnings we’ve gained will continue to guide us for the rest of our lives. #GraduationDay #MSMExperience #BlendedLearning #EducationJourney #MissingTheMoment #MBA

ESCP? Poised to Become Europe's Premier Business Education Hub? With the global landscape shifting due to Brexit and protectionist policies, the notion of globalization seems to be waning. However, ESCP Business School, headquartered in France, is embracing globalization more than ever. Investing an unprecedented $326 million in expanding its six European campuses and its Dubai branch, ESCP aims to offer one of the most global business education experiences worldwide. Founded in 1819, ESCP is the world's oldest business school and stands out with its multi-campus model. Students can study in up to four different countries, gaining a truly immersive international education. This model is particularly appealing to the new generation of students, who seek to challenge themselves and explore diverse cultures. Kamran Razmdoost, Dean of ESCP’s London campus, emphasizes the innovative nature of this model. It’s not just about acquiring knowledge but also about personal growth and cultural exposure. The school boasts more than 10,000 students and 6,000 executive participants from 135 nationalities, taught by 200 professors across its campuses. ESCP offers a robust portfolio of 48 programs, including a highly regarded Master’s in Management (MiM) and a rapidly ascending MBA program. Its MiM program is ranked fourth globally by the Financial Times and ensures a 100% placement rate within six months of graduation. The significant investment will enhance facilities across ESCP’s campuses, supporting its growing student body and expanding its footprint. This ambitious expansion reflects ESCP’s commitment to maintaining its status as a premier global business school, potentially surpassing INSEAD and HEC to become the top business school in France and Europe.
