The European School of Economics (ESE) is a private, independent business school founded in London. It specialises in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in economics, management, finance, marketing and international business, with a curriculum that integrates academic study with practical business experience and internships. Although it operates a campus in London and additional centres in Italy and Spain, it is not a UK public university and does not hold UK degree-awarding powers; its qualifications are typically validated and awarded in partnership with external institutions. ESE emphasises small class sizes, a multicultural student body and close links with businesses, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional university business education.
