This accreditation confirms the high academic quality of these MSc programs, and their focus on the cutting-edge skills expected by companies.

Through an accreditation commission, the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles evaluates programs according to a number of criteria: the quality of the training, its implementation and its relevance to market expectations, to guarantee the professional integration of graduates.

To train tomorrow's leaders in key areas of the global economy, the development of ESSCA's MSc programs is in line with the School's core values: they are programs of academic excellence and highly professionalizing. Faced with digital, environmental and geopolitical transitions, companies need leaders with the best professional skills and cutting-edge competencies in AI and environmental transformation. These new MSc programs draw on the unique expertise of ESSCA's research faculty and professional contributors from leading companies in these sectors. They also offer students the opportunity to complement their degree with benchmark professional certifications in their fields.

These MSc programs offer innovative content based on the latest technologies in artificial intelligence and new standards in ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) to train students for emerging professions.

Lasting from 12 to 24 months and including an internship or long-term assignment in a company, MSc programs are open to all students with a Bac+5 or Bac+4 degree, in France and abroad.

The entrance exam is also open to candidates with both a Bachelor's degree and at least 3 years' professional experience. Holders of a Bac + 3 diploma with no professional experience are required to complete the 2-year program.

All these MSc programs are also available as double degrees to students in the Master's cycle of ESSCA's Grande Ecole Program (MiM PGE): during their M1, PGE ESSCA students can apply for and take an MSc in M2. At the end of M2, they obtain both diplomas: PGE ESSCA and MSc.

This PGE and MSc double degree scheme is open to students joining the PGE in parallel admission, on selection during the M1 PGE course.

Through the expertise of its MSc programs, ESSCA prepares students to be players in the ecological, societal and technological transformation of an ever-changing world.

These 5 new programs join the existing MSc EU-Asia Luxury marketing (Shanghai), EU Asia Digital marketing and business (Shanghai) and Global Business management (Paris/Europe/USA).
