The HEC MBA program offers participants the unique and valuable experience of being immersed in a student body and faculty of highly diverse nationalities, academic and professional backgrounds. Teamed with exceptionally talented peers from 50 countries, participants push each other to achieve, to realize their full potential and ultimately develop and sharpen leadership skills. In addition to the full-time 16 month MBA, the part-time MBA (one week per month on campus, over 24 months) offers participants a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge base, maximize their leadership potential, and expand their corporate network, whilst maintaining a balance between their personal and professional lives.

MBA AMBITION

We believe that leadership can be taught. However, leaders can only be formed through direct experience and action. To lead the businesses of tomorrow, our participants must master their communication skills, sharpen their intuitive intelligence, and develop an ethical vision of leadership that encompasses a strong commitment to developing sustainable business strategies.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

In-depth training in decision making and interaction with business leaders prepares participants to become leaders on a global scale. The HEC MBA Program is divided into two phases: the fundamental and the customized phase.
During the fundamental phase, participants develop the comprehensive core management knowledge and techniques that will enable them to advance in their careers.
In the customized phase, full-time participants follow a track in Finance, Marketing, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, or Strategy, and select from amongst 80 electives. Additionally we have over 40 international exchanges, and 12 double degree programs available, or corporate exposure can be gained through completing a field work project. Part-time participants meanwhile choose from a range of electives and carry out a Company Consulting Project, putting their technical training into practice and making a meaningful impact on the performance of real organizations.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The HEC MBA Career Management Center offers training in adapting job search skills to differing geographies in order to gain the attention of top recruiters worldwide. HEC MBA participants receive customized job-search advice from alumni, consultants, coaches, and peers. They can put participants in contact with top international executive search firms and HEC’s active alumni network of over 43,000 worldwide and 200 recruiting companies. By ensuring that the academic curriculum and career management services work in tandem we will provide you with individual coaching and counseling which can help you navigate smoothly through the program and ultimately, pave your way to a fulfilling professional life.
