ESE Master Programme

ESE Master Programme

“Build within what you want outside. You can win the game of Life only if you master yourself.”

MASTER PROGRAMME

Beyond academic excellence, cross cultural studies and a very pragmatic approach, the European School of Economics aims to facilitate, in each and every student, a process of inner revolution, which encourages personal development through self-study and individual research and results in self-knowledge.

”The world is such because you are such.”

No political party, religion or philosophical system can transform society from the outside.Only an individual revolution, a psychological re-birth, a healing of the inner self, man by man, cell by cell, will take us towards individual freedom, global well-being and peace.We need new schools of responsibility for men and women who have a dream to realize.We need universities for pragmatic dreamers.They will be the leaders of a new exodus, a “psychological exodus” from the conflict-ridden logic of the old humanity to the vertical vision of a world founded on the ability to harmonize antagonisms.The world is a physical projection of our way of thinking.

• apply course knowledge in practical situations within the work environment• bridge the gap between study and work• develop inner qualities and gain a practical understanding of the concept

of individual responsibility, according to which external events areprojections of one’s own inner states

• test individual career plans by obtaining experience in a chosen field, andthus helping one to better understand what it is that they really love to do

• develop a professional network and assess internship providers for futureemployment opportunities Working in collaboration with more thanfifteen hundred leading international companies, including some ofFORTUNE’S 100 Best Companies to Work For, the European Schoolof Economics offers one of the most competitive university internshipprogrammes available today.
