HEC Paris - Executive Education

Your success is our ambition. Our challenge is to meet yours.

Our business is to help you and your company grow.

A learning program should be designed to match your ambitions, and our solution puts you right at the heart of the learning process. Indeed, we take your experience, add it to that of our professors, experts and members of the business community, and create a context of mutual learning.


We want to provide value rather than merely the acquisition of knowledge. To do this we incorporate three fundamental values into our courses:

- direct access to ‘management producers’
In concrete terms, our programs are run by professors who also conduct research and publish their results. We give you access to this work to help you gain new insights into your own experience.

- keeping an open mind
Step back, review your convictions and put them into perspective. Take the diversity of the other participants and grow as a person.

- close links to corporate life
In the degree programs, you carry out projects of your own design meeting your personal as well as your company’s goals. When the results of the project lead to new markets for your company or better operational methods, the return on investment is plain for everyone to see!

Given in French, English and Chinese, our Degree Programs, Open Enrolment Programs and Custom Programs are delivered in France and all over the world.


The learning programs themselves are all internationally recognized, either through accreditation or simple reputation.

There is the renowned AMBA, Equis and AACSB triple accreditation. But there are also the Financial Times rankings which put HEC programs among the world’s best: Trium Global Executive MBA developed jointly with NYU Stern and the London School of Economics is ranked number two worldwide, and HEC Paris has been rated number one European Business School, all criteria taken together.
