Today ESE offers its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in three centres throughout Italy, Milan, Rome and Lucca, and also in New York and London. The European School of Economics centres are situated in some of the most beautiful settings in Europe and the USA including a Victorian mansion overlooking the gardens of London’s Buckingham Palace, a state-of-the-art in New York’s famous Empire State Building with a breathtaking view of Manhattan, a beautiful 17th century neoclassical palace in Milan, a historic residence in Rome, near the famous via Veneto, the heart of the Dolce Vita, and Palazzo Poleschi (former art-gallery) just outside the medieval walls of Lucca. These settings accentuate the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the ESE centres and offer students a uniquely rich and stimulating environment in which to pursue their studies.
