Location

HEC Paris has one of the largest campuses in Europe offering a holistic life through modern academic, sports, and leisure facilities for students and staff. The 340-acre wooded campus lies a short train ride away from Paris and Versailles and is located on the Paris-Saclay plateau, providing an exquisite balance between rural and urban realities. 

Paris is arguably the most famous city in the world, not only for fashion and art, but for its vibrant international student communities. For good reason because Paris’ attractions never seem to end, from the art galleries and museums to the intricate streets filled with the infamous French cuisine. 

Accreditations

Master’s Degrees at HEC Paris have been accredited by the French Ministry of Education through the CEFDG (Commission d’Evaluation des Formations et Diplômes de Gestion). 

HEC is also one of the 1% of business education institutions globally to hold accreditations from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), The Association of Masters in Business Administration, and the EQUIS (accreditation arm of the European Foundation for Management Development - EFMD). 

HEC Paris is also nationally accredited by Qualiopi, a French accreditation started in 2018 concerning professional training and the freedom to decide your own future. These accreditations attests to the quality of the program and the institution's dedication to maintaining the high standards of education. 

Programs

HEC Paris offers a broad range of Master’s programs, Specialized Master’s programs, X-HEC programs, and Dual Degree programs. The Master in Management was ranked 2nd worldwide by the Financial Times in 2021 because of its ability to develop intellectual and professional skills and build outstanding leaders in the business world. 

The Specialized Masters programs (MSc) provide students with expert knowledge in the areas of: strategic management, marketing, sustainability and more. The class sizes are kept relatively small, meaning students can have direct contact with experts and world leading practitioners. 

Scholarships

HEC Paris offers a wide range of scholarships as well as external scholarships (funded by partner organizations of HEC). Candidates who have applied to a Master’s program will automatically be considered for HEC’s Excellence and Diversity scholarships. The number of scholarships awarded and the amount of tuition waivered is decided by the Scholarship Committee throughout the application process.
