    The programme offers a practice-orientated combination of:

    • - Know-how in individual communications disciplines (advertising, marketing, public relations, corporate identity, branding, multimedia, etc.)
    • - Fundamental knowledge of business administration

    Our graduates are ready to launch into professional careers: They can successfully initiate, plan and implement corporate communications projects, and - just as importantly - they can also perform calculations for communications plans and confirm their effectiveness with figures. 

     

    Master´s Programme:
    Starting in autumn 2010, our master's programme in Communication Management will provide students with an opportunity to specialise in integrated communication management, that is, the study of how to achieve the greatest possible effect through the combination of individual internal and external communication measures.
    Graduates of our master's programme are top-notch communications professionals with a broad-based, theoretically grounded education.
    They plan strategies and develop creative solutions in order to attain their communication goals both efficiently and sustainably.
    They know the structures and relationships which prevail in our media and communications society and can therefore make a substantial contribution to the success of an enterprise.

    - Major of Advertising – 5years
    Website www.espub.org

    In the 1920s, the founders of the French advertising industry felt the need for a specific school of advertising and so they got together to form a ‘technical’ school which has gone onto become the ESP. Today the school offers a comprehensive programme that is adapted to all student profiles as well as to the needs of the industry. The programme’s main objective is to ensure that students can be operational as soon as they leave school. For that purpose, their schedule is composed of a mixture of courses and training sessions.


    Ever since its creation, the ESP has always had a resolutely international spirit. It is the reason why the school insists that its students acquire a very good mastery of the English language, as well as accurate knowledge of other cultures. At the ESP, English is taught in groups as well as conferences and forums covering various subjects all addressed in English. This qualifies students for the IAA  Diploma (International Advertising Association), which is something only the ESP is accredited to offer in France.

    When it was founded, the Faculty of Economics was primarily oriented towards educating economists for the needs of the country’s planned economy, but it soon became a key player in the then self-managed economy’s liberalisation and enhanced market orientation. This also explains why the Faculty of Economics was one of the first universities in the former communist bloc to teach subjects connected to a market economy. Today, the FELU has become one of the most influential university-level organisations in the broader area of South-East Europe. The FELU’s work is influenced and evaluated by the business world and students are given the opportunity to become acquainted with that sphere during their studies.
