Warwick vs Essec

I am French/English and have offers from both Essec and Warwick for business undergraduate. Yet, I have no idea which university I should choose. The main determinant would be their individual reputations among employers, so if anyone knows anything in regard which university is better, please help!

On a lot of rank tables I’ve seen, warwick is usually ranked higher. I live in colchester where a lot of campus is based and I’ve heard they are good for international students from my old geography teacher (shes from uk tho). I’d say either are quite good but i dont know much about warwick.

I’m assuming you’ll be living in the uni accommodation, if you decide to live in colchester most of the accommodation have pizza restaurants such as dominoes and pizza hut nearby and shops like the co op or tesco but it really depends on the area you choose to live in. Hope this helps x

Just wanted to clarify im talking about the essex campus when talking about colchester

Congrats on the offers from these amazing schools!!ESSEC is a highly ranked business school with a great reputation and status in Europe and especially France. While Warwick is good, it is not in the same league as ESSEC in terms of business development worldwide. Warwick will provide you with the necessary academic preparation while ESSEC will provide you both with the academics and the communication and leadership skills. Due to ESSEC's international program, you will be far more prepared to work in a multicultural environment as you will be required to learn multiple languages as well. Both schools are well known by employers so no need to worry about that. It really comes down to which environment you prefer, if you really want a well rounded international business program then ESSEC is the one!

First of all, congratulations on the offers from both Business Schools ! Both Warwick and ESSEC are well reputed business schools. I myself faced the same dilemma one year ago when I received an offer from both schools. However, I ended up choosing ESSEC Business School. While both degrees are highly recognised globally, ESSEC gives you the opportunity to do an intercampus mobility (you get the opportunity to study in any of its campuses in France, Singapore or Morocco) as well as pursue an operational and humanitarian internship. ESSEC also focuses on developing you hard and soft skills and you get to do a one year study abroad in any of its 160 partner institutions. As per the employers, I am sure you can easily find a job in both institutions. However, ESSEC is connected to many multinationals (eg. L’Oreal) giving you the opportunity to network and make strong business connections. In addition, ESSEC encourages you to pursue languages (you have a choice to learn a new language and you have options such as Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Spanish. Learning new languages can prepare you for the international market and to go global !Moreover, the degree at ESSEC is 4 years whereas in the UK it tends to be a three year degree unless you do a study abroad in another country.Having visited both campuses, I can tell you that both schools are exceptionally well recognised. However, I would choose ESSEC due to the intercampus mobility, strong connections you can build with companies and due to the hard and soft skills you will develop over the 4 years as well as learning new languages and working in an international environment.Hope this helped, and good luck !

I’m glad it helped!
