Europe's leading
financial centre
On Monday 16th October, ESCP Europe Alumni Finance Group UK
welcomed the newly arrived ESCP Europe students in «Europe's
leading financial centre» at ESCP Europe London campus.

«Very interesting and insightful», this was the feedback of 170 enthusiastic MIM and MEB students
who attended this year's «ESCP Europe Alumni
Banking Roundtable» at the ESCP Europe London
campus.
For its second-consecutive time, the ESCP Europe
London campus hosted a panel organised by the
ESCP Europe Alumni Finance Group UK which
brought together 17 Alumni finance professionals
with a crowded main auditorium to share their
insights, experience and advice.
After a short presentation on the different career
opportunities in the financial industry, the MIM and
MEB students were invited to an informal Q&A
session to answer all the their questions regarding
the range of assignments, career progression and
the application process, followed by a meet and
greet reception.
The initiative, on this occasion an integral part of
the new academic year and organised jointly with

the School, will hopefully ensure
that most of the students aiming
at a career in finance will make
the most of their year in London,
securing a summer internship
and maybe a full time job.
Another objective for the event
was to strengthen the ties
between ESCP Europe students
and the Alumni community at the
earliest possible stage as we believe that this and similar events
will help the ESCP Europe community to build mutually beneficial relationships.
We would like to thank the School, and ESCP
Europe Alumni and in particular Maria Rosemin, for
their support, the hospitality and help in organising
this event.

Most of the students aiming
at a career in finance will
make the most of their year
in London.

Finance Summer Programme 2013
The Finance Summer Programme started in 2013 and it aims to strengthen the ties between ESCP
Europe students and the Alumni community, especially within the financial sector in London.
The idea is that for each financial institution that hosts an ESCP Europe intern over the summer, the
ESCP Europe Alumni Finance Group UK provides a dedicated Alumnus that will act as a «Mentor» until
the end of the assignment (3-4months).
The Finance Summer Programme provides the students, ahead of or shortly after the start of their internship, with the name and contact of an ESCP Europe Alumnus inside their respective firm. Beside
this the ESCP Europe Alumni Finance Group UK organises additional networking events, designated to
animate the Programme and to create contact between the different ESCP Europe interns.
In this first year of the Finance Summer Programme, both networking events (organised in June and July)
took place in the heart of the city and constituted the ideal frame for an informal meet and greet of ESCP
Europe Alumni Finance professionals and ESCP Europe interns.
