*Please be aware that, due to the WBS program reorganization in 2026, students enrolled in the Full-time Japanese Program after April 2026 will no longer be able to participate in the ESCP Double Degree Program.

Waseda-ESCP Double Degree Program

Founded in 1819, ESCP (Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Paris) Europe is the oldest business school in the world and has turned out generations of leaders.

In 1973, campuses in Germany (Berlin) and the UK (London) were created, and the pioneering model of the first multi-campus management school was born. Campuses in Spain (Madrid) and Italy (Torino) followed in 1988 and 2004 respectively. Today, ESCP Europe responds to the needs of an ever more globalized world with over 100 partnerships with schools both in Europe and worldwide. It is one of a very small number of “Triple-accredited” (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA) business schools- just 1% of business schools worldwide hold this distinction.

Students who successfully complete Master Year 1 of the Waseda MBA program and Master Year 2 of the ESCP Master in Management program, and who meet the requirements for both programs will be awarded the following degrees:

• Master of Business Administration, Waseda University
• Master in Management Grande Ecole, Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Paris

WBS will select candidates from September enrollment  students who wish to join the DD program. Both schools will then create a joint selection committee, and make their final decision after interviewing the candidates.

Travel expenses, accommodation, health insurance and healthcare fees, living expenses and other necessary expenses shall be the responsibility of DD students. There is an additional 150,000 yen Waseda Double Degree participation fee as well as registration fee of 1,450 euros covering 2 years of enrollment at ESCP. These fees shall also be the responsibility of DD students.
