Bachelor Organisational Communication with Media Management

BA (Hons) Organisational Communication with Media Management

The ESE Centres in London, Milan, Florence, Rome, Madrid and New York offer an intensive BA (Hons) programme in Organisational Communication with Media Management.

This programme has been designed to develop highly trained professionals and managers able to deal with the communication challenges imposed by globalisation and economic transition and capable to foster change and innovation in today’s media industry.

Our graduates will enter a wide range of careers (such as reporter, editor, producer, journalist, media manager and public relations specialist) uniquely equipped with ESE’s standards of excellence and vision of integrity – a key to success.

The organisations of the future
Man’s history is a journey of return to integrity; that state of certainty which is his birthright that he remembers as lost paradise.

In the near future every organisation, from the smallest company to the largest multinational, will be an ideological company, a school of being where men will seek to regain this lost state - its success and longevity will depend on its philosophy and even more on its founder.

At the top of every organisation there will be philosophers of action, poets, visionaries and pragmatic utopians, capable of penetrating to its core and its very foundation to nourish its roots. In them men will learn to transcend themselves, constantly eliminating every division, every shadow and every degradation.

Throughout the organs of those enterprises a chord that still binds all their cells will resonate and make them vibrate in unison.

The smallest widening of the vision, an elevation in comprehension, moves mountains in the world of economics and finance.

Our students will be giants in the world of economics - the global communicators of the future. Their ability to create wealth will be the effect of an inner state of responsibility.

The Education of the Individual
Message to Students
Beyond all that humanity has conquered, at the origin of every intuition, of every scientific achievement, there is always the dream of just one man. An individual. The European School of Economics believes that no political party, religion or philosophical system can transform society. Only the individual can do it.

External teachings are only a superficial part of the work of a School. Its real work is the elimination of every compromise, limit, fear and uncertainty that has been accumulated since childhood and which is the fruit of the old education. A true school does not presume to add anything to what they already possess within their being... It only needs to bring to light one’s own uniqueness, one’s originality, one’s own “dream”.

ESE dedicates particular care and attention to each and every student. Its educational system places the individual at the core of its activity. From day one, lecturers and tutors stimulate the student to self-discovery, to find out for what he was uniquely born. The achievement of this goal is the result of tailor-made programmes which combine academic excellence and pragmatism.

Over1,500 leading corporations throughout the world collaborate with the ESE to create one of the most effective internship programmes in Europe.

The excellence of the faculty, innovative programmes and international environment with students coming from over 60 nations, make the European School of Economics a cutting edge Business School with one of the highest student employment rates in Europe.

With centres and offices in two continents, ESE has created an academic space without borders by offering its students the opportunity to study and work in the world's business capitals moving freely among the ESE centres in London, New York, Rome, Milan, Florence and Madrid.

ESE Centres
The high standards exemplified by our academic programmes are also reflected in our choice of ESE centre locations.

The European School of Economics’ centres are situated in some of the most beautiful settings that Europe and the United States have to offer. These include a Victorian building overlooking the gardens of London's Buckingham Palace and a state-of-the-art facility in New York's famous Trump Tower with a breathtaking view of Manhattan and classroom space at 42 Broadway in the heart of Wall Street; an ultra modern building in a desirable and sought after district of Milan; an amazing 19th century building with private gardens in the very heart of imperial Rome with an impressive view of the Caracalla Baths and close to the Colosseum; the Renaissance Palazzo Rosselli Del Turco in central Florence is just steps away from the Ponte Vecchio and in Madrid's city centre the campus is a picturesque building located in the prestigious Velazquez street in the Barrio de Salamanca.

These settings complement the cosmopolitan atmosphere of our ESE centres and offer students a rich and stimulating environment in which to pursue their studies.
