HEC Paris School of Business

Experience during the program

Perfect batch size, allowed to meet everyone in the class, good diveristy, workgroups are carefully designed to force international experience. Finance profs are excellent. Some interesting extracurricular activities, like the surprising military style leadership training at St Cyr, that even skepticals loved. MBAT organization builds student commitment. Support to attend MBA competitions all over the world. Customizable programme is helpful, allows long or short internship, exchanges, specialization, and certificates. Careers team could do better at finding good connections in investment banking and tier 1 consulting. France isnt an option for many intls, It was hard for those who wanted a job in Paris.

Best: The school has great atmosphere, candidates and length. 16 months are the best fit for an MBA program. Not too long, not too short. The diversity of the student body is overwhelming, and the thing that came to me as the most surprising fact is: The number of events. The MBA has an average of at least 1 event per day. That is simply overwhelming – about 18 clubs that organize 1-2 events per month each plus career services events and general events. To add to that, there are countless of other events organized by the school and other programs. View more on gmatclub
