Located in the heart of Europe, HEC Paris offers the best of all worlds: its class size of 200 participants, combined with its ideal sixteen-month program length, allows participants to engage in a transformative experience of personal and professional development.

During Core Phase, participants develop the fundamental management knowledge and techniques that equip them to advance in their careers. In the Personalized Phase, participants customize their curriculum by choosing electives and selecting a specialized track in entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, and strategy. They may also gain corporate exposure through M.B.A. fieldwork by completing an Individual Professional Project, a Company Consulting Project, a Creative Academic Project, or a Mission and Action Project. Participants may further expand their international perspective and network by participating in an exchange or dual-degree program with one of HEC’s prestigious partner institutions. The comprehensive, personalized HEC MBA Program allows participants to broaden their knowledge base, expand their management competencies, and enhance their expertise in a chosen field, thus bridging the gap between course work and real-life, practical experience. The HEC MBA Program is taught in English, with opportunities to learn and carry out course work in French. For those with no background in French skills, an intensive pre-M.B.A. course is offered in Paris before arrival on the HEC campus; language courses are also available throughout the academic year.
