History

The European School of Economics was founded in Italy in 1994. Each country has its own local management. In 2013 the European School of Economics UK Ltd. (ESE Foundation) became a charity.[4]. ESE campuses are presently managed by ESE Italy, ESE Spain, ESE Insight Ltd, and ESE New York Inc.

Campuses

United Kingdom

In 2014, the British Accreditation Council recognised that ESE was listed along with other institutions which lead to degrees awarded by recognised bodies.[5] That certification has since expired. In 2014, a report by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education stated that the existing partnership agreement with the Buckingham University was terminated for strategic reasons.[6][7]

Students may take non-degree programmes in Marketing, Management, Finance, HR, Entrepreneurship, Event Management, International Management, Art Management & Consultancy.[8]

Spain

In 2010, the Madrid Campus was authorised by the Ministry of Education and the Comunidad de Madrid to teach university-level programmes leading to the award of a British degree in Spain.[9] Authorisation was revoked in 2015 and not reinstated.[10] After the ESE lost the agreement with Buckingham University in November 2014, the Comunidad de Madrid revoked the authorisation.

Italy

The Italian campuses are officially associated with Eduitalia,[11] an Association of Schools and Universities offering courses to foreign students in Italy. The Milan Campus, while providing all the courses available on the other campuses, has developed its specific focus on the fashion and luxury field. The Rome Campus is located on the Aventine Hill. The Florence Campus is on the Palazzo Rosselli del Turco.

Italian Controversy

The college in Italy was involved in multiple scandals, which including the bankruptcy of its subsidiary A.C. Viareggio, a football club.[12] Italian Guardia di Finanza and prosecutor had investigated the college for alleged tax evasion using subsidiaries, as well as the false advertisement of their graduation certificate. The college was acquitted of the charge.[13]
