To train managers rather than train in management

HEC Paris' aim is to become a School of Managers rather than a School of Management. We want to train students that are able to contemplate both the political and social implications. Indeed, we believe that whilst the "technical" side of things is important, it should nevertheless not overshadow the "human" aspect in the strictest sense of the word.

To ensure training is in line with corporate life today

Such is their importance in the success of our training programs and the integration of our students in the working world that high priority has always been given to the extremely close and varied relations that HEC School of Management has with the business world.
