A Stepladder to Managerial Skills
The business environment has changed very rapidly over
the last years and will continue to do so in the future. New
paradigms, techniques and centers of power are emerging
and call for highly advanced knowledge in the field of mana-
gement. This is precisely what we aim to offer in the Master
in Management Grande cole Program at HEC Paris. At
the same time, we expect our graduates to foresee these
changes and be able to make a difference in this changing
world. This explains why HEC Paris seeks to attract the
best students from all over the world into its Master Program. For more than a cen-
tury now, academic excellence and selectivity has stood for the Grande cole spirit
that HEC Paris has contributed to build.
The curriculum is divided into two phases: the first phase is an immersion into the
foundations of business knowledge, while the second phase is dedicated to a spe-
cialization that you have chosen according to your professional project, followed by
an optional Certificate. Many specializations are offered not only on campus but also
through a large range of international programs.
The program also benefits from close ties with the business community: corporate
partners are very active in providing practical knowledge through direct participation
in courses, training seminars, consultancy projects and conferences organized on
campus. They also participate in several recruiting events throughout the year and
offer numerous internships and job offers to our students.
Finally, we believe that the key asset HEC Paris offers its students from all over the
world is our renowned and long-established tradition of welcoming international stu-
dents, be it in the content of the program, its international exposure, the involvement
of the business community, the network of 45,000 alumni or the schools reputation
which is constantly ranked amongst the Top Business Schools in the world. In addi-
tion, the campus, an ideal living and learning environment and the rich cultural and
social life of nearby Paris will help make your stay a rewarding experience.
We know that choosing the right business school is a hugely difficult decision to
make, but remember our goal here at HEC Paris is to help you to make your career
dreams come true!
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

A COMPREHENSIVE
CURRICULUM
The curriculum uniquely balances the development of practical leader ship and professional skills with
the more theoretical requirements of a research paper which is linked to a specialization. Students are
trained to become actors and decision-makers, while focusing on the academic specialization that they
choose in light of their professional goals. With the diversity of courses and specializations available,
students develop expertise in several areas of business administration, shape their career plans and
also prepare their entry into the business world through company internships. The course portfolio
is comprised of mandatory foundation courses in general management, electives, a managerial
behaviour seminar (M1), a specialization, an optional certificate and an in-depth research paper (M2).
THE GAP YEAR
Between M1 and M2, students have the unique opportunity to choose this highly recommended
option. Students gain work experience in business and extra exposure to professional conditions. It
is also an opportunity to test a particular field of activity, a time to define ones career and goals and
to strengthen ones rsum. Students may also combine their work experience with a one-semester
exchange in order to seek further international exposure.
Examples of companies where students do their internships during the gap year:

THE FRENCH LANGUAGE
MIM students do not need to speak French to enroll in the program as all core courses and most
electives are offered in English. However, some knowledge of French can be useful to enjoy the full
HEC experience, become professionally bicultural and optimize networking with French students
and alumni. This is why HEC Paris offers optional French language classes free of charge to its
international students.
Students may also register for a French language course (TEF certificate all levels) in August.
This is an exceptional opportunity to learn French and to live in the very heart of Paris before joining
the Campus (www.hec.edu/MSc/Campus/French-Summer-School).

HEC INCUBATOR, A CATALYST FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS
Many students develop exciting ideas for new companies before, during and after their time at HEC
Paris, but are sometimes deterred by the high risks that setting up a new firm might entail. The HEC
Incubator helps participants manage these start-up risks so that they can pursue their ambitions
with greater confidence.
The Incubator program involves active mentoring from Faculty and Alumni, and is supported by a
three-step pre-incubation phase. Throughout the Introducing Entrepreneurship, Sandbox and
Springboard steps, participants use colleagues as a sounding board for their ideas before deciding
whether to submit them for full Incubator selection. www.hec.fr/incubateur-hec.
