MSc in Management
The HEC MSc in Management programme, ranked No. 1 among European Master’s of Management programmes by the Financial Times (2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008), recruits students without professional experience in France and abroad for the 1st and 2nd years of the programme. Students are selected based on a competitive entrance exam and their potential.
The Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research accredits the HEC Paris degree. The degree awards the title of Master. Internationally, the HEC Paris degree is a Master of Science in Management.
The recruitment process is very demanding and diversified. The Grande École HEC Paris’ mission is to train students for management careers. It offers an intensive and personalised curriculum in the management disciplines, but is open to other disciplines and in direct contact with decision-making issues in the business world.
The curriculum’s international scope is quite evident thanks to the development of academic exchanges, dual degree agreements and internships abroad. Currently, École HEC Paris offers exchanges with 119 academic partners in 43 countries.
