Essec Business School has recently inaugurated its new campus in Nepal Hill, Singapore on February 27th, 2013.

Though Essec has had a campus in Singapore since 2005, its relocation to Nepal Hill is going to be a landmark one- Nepal Hill is being positioned as a hub for talent development, that will house a cluster of business schools, corporate universities and professional service companies in the talent development space. The objective behind this hub is to promote an environment of research and to encourage a cross fertilization of ideas between the corporates and educational institutes housed within. Unilever has already made Nepal Hill its home and Essec Business School is scheduled to start the campus by December 2014.

The new campus will enable Essec to increase its student intake and the faculty strength in the Asia Pacific region three folds, to 1500 students and 30 faculty members.

Essec takes pride in having a wide international presence. It has 3 campuses worldwide- two of them are in France and the third one in Singapore.

About Essec’s Global MBA: This is a full time, one year MBA. The program takes place at ESSEC’s main campus in Cergy, and in Singapore. The class sizes are small at 40 students and there is one intake every September. Average age of participants is 30 years and a minimum of 4 years of work experience is required to apply.

The program has a special focus on emerging markets.
