ESCP-EAP European School of Management is a major player in the European management education sector. The School results from the merger of ESCP - Paris Graduate School of Management, and EAP - European School of Management. The merger took place in September 1999. With 120 permanent faculty members and nearly 200 support staff, ESCP-EAP constitutes the largest, cross-border school of management in Europe today. The School has opted for a multi-polar organization with campuses in Paris, Oxford, Berlin and Madrid. This organization enables it to be thoroughly international in every aspect of its activity.
