MBA - Batch of 2026

Expensive tuition but friendly people.
Tips: I realised the importance of networking and ups killing myself as much as I possibly can and that has helped me see results which is what I would suggest to anyone planning on coming to HEC as if you want to be noticed here, you will have to stand out in a very competitive and academic environment. Professors here are well known and the learning is very industry centric as well. Tuition can be expensive.

Very valuable experience.
Tips: The best part of studying here is the network and exposure. Almost everyone here has come with a goal in mind and group projects are when you. Can truly unleash your creativity. Administration work can sometimes take longer than in other countries and speaking basic French is a must to get around. Satisfied with the quality of education.

Master in Management Sciences - Batch of 2026

Challenging but helpful.
Tips: I have become more self assured and disciplined after coming here as the pace of work university can be quite intense. The university is very global so there are a lot of different cultures and ethnicities including Indians. Getting admitted here was one part of the challenge as the real work starts once you come here but the lessons you learn and experience you will gain will be helpful.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated 2 on part time jobs as spots on campus are limited and get filled quite fast as those are the most sought after and convenient ones and everyone wants one. For part time work outside of campus, you'll have to be absolutely fluent in French which poses a hindrance.

Less work life balance.
Tips: I did experience some culture shock as there were linguistic barriers but this is mostly outside of campus as within the university, it feels like a typical college experience but with a lot more diversity and expectations. Make sure your foundations are sorted as the classes tend to move along fast and grading is kind of strict for some programs.

The university is good with great faculty and warm and friendly environment.
Tips: Before you join, you should know that the courses are very hectic, and you should always be more prepared than under-prepared. Also, there are various scholarships offered, and I got the Excellence scholarship worth 10000 Euros. Overall, I am satisfied with the course and the college.
Likes (Post study jobs): After graduating from HEC Paris, I was able to secure a work visa in France. I was also able to get a visa to work in the UK. Most UK companies sponsor visas for work. However, getting a work visa in any European country is not a hurdle. Jobs like Investment Banking, Equity Research, Sales, and Trading are common in my course.
Dislikes (Part time work): We can't do part-time work because the course is very hectic. Academics demand a lot of time; the rest goes into applying for summer internships. So it's advised to plan the budget accordingly and not rely on the income from the part-time. Part-time may be possible for other less hectic courses.

Don't waste your time, money and energy in European colleges.
Tips: Before coming here students should know that it is hard to get post-study job opportunities for Indians unless they speak French. I even noticed an Indian French teacher who could not secure a job after his MBA from HEC. So learn French before coming here and choose wisely whether this is what you want to do. Besides, the city is very safe and secure. The college is located on the outskirts of Paris in a village called Jouy en Josas which is a great city so you can enjoy your time here.
