HEC Grande École has an established tradition of selecting the brightest students. It focuses on personal development and international exposure and provides students with an advanced education in business administration.

Candidates from any country who have successfully completed a Bachelor degree in any field outside France are welcome to apply for admission to the HEC Master of Science in Management (Diplôme HEC). Once enrolled, international students will join the students selected via the French system who have already completed a foundation year at HEC.

Application process

The application process is managed on behalf of HEC by the SAI, International Admissions Centre of the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. All candidates are required to submit an on-line application to the SAI. Candidates eligible for the SAI selection procedure should not be more than 30 years of age in the year that they take the tests.

On-line application

Selection

Candidates are required to take either of the following tests*:

• GMAT (GMAT is a registered trademark and is the property of the Graduate Management Council Admission Council).
  Your original GMAT score must be received by the SAI no later than March 25th, 2008. The SAI will not accept any score after this deadline
  
• TAGE-MAGE, (test for managerial aptitude in French)
  Applicants taking this test will be required to present either TOEIC or TOEFL or IELTS tests or a certificate of language.

* Please note that around 70 % of HEC’s students hold a GMAT.

Pre-selected candidates will be invited to a 30 minutes interview, in French or English, according to the choice of the candidate.
The jury will evaluate the student’s motivation for a management career and his/her reason for choosing to study in France.
The test and interview will be held in one of the examination centres in over 50 centres worldwide, depending on where the applicants live.
