Editor's notes

The calendar is fast. Six deadlines between Oct. 15, 2026, and Feb. 25, 2027, each with results in about three weeks, and your scholarship decision arrives with your admission decision. Because you can apply for scholarships only once a year and total ESCP funding tops out at €17,500, fill in every scholarship section that fits you the first time.
Decide your campus path before you write a word. Where you spend January to May changes your visa and your options after graduating: only the London Graduate Immigration Route leads to the UK Graduate visa, and it adds a required 16-week placement. Your reasons for choosing ESCP should match the cities you pick.
Treat the interview as the main event. The public checklist has no statement of purpose, and ESCP says clarity, motivation and your reason for choosing its MBA weigh heavily with its panel. Have a two-minute answer ready on why a multi-campus European MBA, and why now.
If your degree took three years, you have an extra step. The VAPP file, with two signed recommendation letters on ESCP's template, has to be approved before you can apply, so start it several weeks ahead of the round you want.
