ESCP Turin opens the academic year with 70% students from abroad
In the field are the 1,200 students of the Turin campus, part of a community of 6 universities and 11,000 students - The Business School bets on new leadership models
On track are 1,200 students from 83 countries. Reaffirming its strong international vocation, the Turin branch of the ESCP Business School is inaugurating the 2025-2026 academic year in its new premises, opened about a year ago. The Business School was founded in France in the early 19th century and has been present in Turin since 2004. It has earned the jersey of "European and global school for managerial education" thanks to a study model capable of attracting students from all over Europe and projecting them into internship experience abroad, right from the first year of study.
Italian students enrolled are only 30% of the total, with a range of courses on offer from Bachelor's to Master's degrees. Among the proposals are university courses dedicated to the agrifood sector and the world of fashion: on the track are Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Management, MSc in International Food & Beverage Management, MSc in Luxury Management, MBA and Executive MBA.
'Dialogue between students and businesses is the key to imagining the future of work,' highlighted Francesco Profumo, President of ESCP Business School in Turin. "As a school," he added, "our task is not only to transmit knowledge, but to accompany our students in the development of human, creative and value-based skills. In a world undergoing profound transformations, we train leaders capable of combining vision and responsibility'.
The opening ceremony, during which one of the round tables was coordinated by two students, was attended by managers and entrepreneurs, from Cécile Andre Leruste (Director of Priscus Italia srl) to Licia Mattioli, ceo of Mattioli, Matteo Romano, director of Micro & Small Business - TeamSystem and former student of the ESCP Master in Management. The inspiring principle of the course is always that of sharing experiences and complementary perspectives on how new generations and companies can work together to shape a more innovative, sustainable and inclusive professional environment.
Alberta Di Giuli, Dean of the Turin Campus, underlined how "each student brings a different perspective, and this plurality is our greatest asset. Turin is a campus that reflects ESCP's European soul: a place where we grow together, confronting each day with cultures, ideas and ways of thinking that truly prepare for global leadership".
