During our 16-month program, you will develop the core management skills needed to excel in any industry, anywhere in the world.

The HEC Paris MBA is divided into two complementary parts: the Fundamental Phase and the Customized Phase. The 8-month-long Fundamental Phase uses a rigorous combination of academic training and hands-on learning to teach core management skills.
During the Customized Phase, students choose a specialization that matches their personal aspirations and professional objectives. You spend eight months developing expertise through wide range of options, including 7 specializations (concentrated study in some of today's most in-demand sectors), elective courses, international-exchange and double-degree programs, in-depth research projects, as well as real-world work experiences.
Our Career Center offers a comprehensive approach that leverages our students' personal strengths and values, while ensuring that their career goals align with the needs of the global job market. We encourage students to explore a variety of industries and functions, fueling career transformation.
