This is HEC Paris
HEC Paris was founded in 1881 by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry and is
one of the oldest and most prestigious Grandes Ecoles in France. This unique concept
was introduced by Napoleon so that “the best and the brightest” could be channeled
into his armies and engineering corps. The selection criteria for the Grandes Ecoles
are based primarily on competitive written and oral exams, taken by students from
5
dedicated preparatory classes.
Throughout its more than 130-year history, HEC Paris has continually attracted highly
talented, innovative, entrepreneurial, ambitious and open-minded individuals. Our
mission at HEC Paris is to develop the global leaders of tomorrow to be capable of
serving as architects of a responsible world. A rigorous research environment and
close connections to the corporate world are the cornerstones on which this mission
is built. The combination of high-quality research, pedagogical innovation and strong
corporate connections provides the HEC community with the necessary tools and
background to challenge established rules and invent the new social and economic
paradigms of tomorrow’s world.
These values form the basis of a deep-seated belief that we share with the HEC
Community: the freedom and entrepreneurship we need to create a better world stem
from knowledge. This conviction is embodied in our motto: “The more you know, the
more you dare”.
The HEC admission process is
opened up to young women.

Grande Ecole MASTER’S programs

For more than a century, our history of academic excellence and selectivity has enabled
us to train inspired and responsible leaders, capable of anticipating changes in the
world and leading them.
HEC Paris has developed a range of Grande Ecole Master’s programs which recruit
both local and international students by means of a rigorous admission process:
• Master in Management (taught in English and French)
• Master in Management & Public Affairs (taught in English and German)

The Grande Ecole curriculum is divided into a generalist phase and a specialization phase.
The first phase concentrates on business fundamentals, while the second one focuses on
acquiring an expertise (chosen according to the professional goals of the student). The
nature of the specialization determines the Master’s degree that the student will finally
receive: Management, Management & Business Law, Management and Public Affairs.

Entrepreneurship Center

HEC Paris: committed to business creation

A quarter of all graduates from HEC Paris are entrepreneurs, a figure that has compared to steadily since 10 years ago,
when less than 10% of students were involved in entrepreneurship. This increase is largely due to HEC’s commitment to
promoting and supporting business creation through its dedicated Entrepreneurship Center.
 
HEC Paris, which has been championing entrepreneurship for
over 30 years, set up a center entirely devoted to training and
helping entrepreneurs in 2010. The Entrepreneurship Center has
three main goals:
Educating students
The center raises awareness about entrepreneurship among the
Grande École’s students in collaboration with student associations
on the HEC campus and at Université Paris-Saclay. There are
regular opportunities – including “creativity” talks, “toolbox”
workshops, start-up weekends, HEC SEED and other meetings –
to discuss the key role of entrepreneurship in the economy and to
spur students to launch their own businesses.
Supporting innovative start-ups

HEC Paris has been active in China since 1984, when it first started recruiting high-caliber students there. At present, Chinese
students are represented in all degree programs (MSc, MBA, EMBA and PhD), and are one of the largest nationalities on
campus.
HEC Paris has established strong ties with leading Chinese business schools (Tsinghua SEM in Beijing, Fudan MS and
CEIBS in Shanghai, Zhejiang University SoM, CUHK BS and HKUST BS in Hong Kong), developing faculty exchanges
and joint research, as well as student exchanges, double and joint degrees programs. HEC Paris and Tsinghua School
of Economics and Management offer three Double Degrees (MBA, MiM and Master in Finance). In 2006, the Advanced
Management Program in Fashion and Luxury was created by the two schools and the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM).

School of Management.
Both the HEC EMBA and custom programs are supported by teams in Beijing and Shanghai.

29 This is HEC Paris

HEC Paris constantly strives to improve teaching and incorporates the latest
pedagogical and technical innovations in the delivery of its programs. In particular,
HEC Paris is at the cutting edge of the “digital transformation” that is revolutionizing
the world of education.
Thanks to the support of the HEC Foundation, HEC Paris has developed a large
collection of HEC business cases that are used in universities and business schools
around the world. HEC Paris is also well-known for the quality and innovativeness of
the business games and simulations developed by its faculty.
In 2013, HEC Paris was the first business school in France to launch a Massive Open
Online Course (MOOC) hosted on Coursera. MOOCs are a way for HEC Paris to expand
its expertise and knowledge, and share them with a wider, global audience. In addition,
HEC Paris is developing a host of blended learning / flipped classroom initiatives that
will further enhance its students’ learning experiences.

8 MOOCs and one 4-MOOC Specialization have been launched on Coursera:

• Understanding Europe: Why It Matters and What It Can Offer You
with Alberto Alemanno (HEC Paris) on the impact of Europe on everyday life
• Evaluation Financière with Pascal Quiry (HEC Paris) on corporate finance
• Time to Reorganize with Rodolphe Durand (HEC Paris) on organizations and their
influence on individuals and society
• Devenir entrepreneur du changement (HEC Paris & Ticket for Change)
with Florian Hoos, Frédéric Dalsace, Bénédicte Faivre-Tavignot, Lise Penillard,
Nathalie Lugagne (HEC Paris) and external contributors, on how to encourage
social solidarity through entrepreneurship
• Creating and Developing a Tech Startup
with Romain Beaume (École polytechnique) and Etienne Krieger (HEC Paris),
available in French and English
• (Re)-invent your business model with the Odyssey 3.14 approach
with Laurence Lehmann-Ortega, Hélène Musikas (HEC Paris)
• Anticipating Your Next Battle, in Business and Beyond with Jeremy Ghez (HEC Paris)
• Investment Management in an Evolving and Volatile World with Hugues Langlois
(HEC Paris) and Marion Le Morhedec (AXA Investment Managers)
• Inspirational Leadership: Leading with Sense, 4-MOOC Specialization,
with Valérie Gauthier (HEC Paris).
Furthermore, HEC Paris has launched online Executive Education Certificate
programs, in partnership with the First Finance Institute. The corporate finance
certificate offers a comprehensive curriculum that targets a wide audience of executives
from different backgrounds and sectors. The next program, Strategy@HEC Paris,
begins in the fall of 2016.
MOOCs provide an opportunity for students, managers and entrepreneurs from
around the world to benefit from the expertise of the HEC faculty. With more
than 115,000 active participants, spanning 200 countries, HEC Paris’ MOOCs
showcase the school’s commitment to innovation and excellence in teaching.

international and national recruiters as well as to students.
The Careers team inspires and supports students, by creating a dynamic space.
The team accompanies them throughout their processes of self-discovery and
goal achievement. It also aims to provide the best possible business opportunities.
This includes up-to-date job & internship opportunities, company presentations,
seminars, conferences, round tables, mock interviews with recruiters, meetings
with alumni and many more events throughout the year. This accompaniment forms
an integral part of HEC Paris’ mission and matches with company needs in finding
managers or future managers who are mature and prepared for the corporate
world. Throughout the year, several career fairs are organized on campuses such as
Carrefours HEC - the main career fair - as well as others dedicated to a particular
sector or to sharing experience with alumni.

At HEC Paris, companies find what they are looking for: recruits (French and
international interns, young graduates, MBA graduates, Executive graduates),
executive education programs, and top faculty members to work with on research
or teaching projects. Drawing on this positive experience, some of them decide to
support HEC Paris’ development and become HEC Paris’ corporate partners.
