    • 62,000: AVERAGE SALARY ON GRADUATION OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS

    At the start of each year, we conduct a survey of our young graduates to see how much they are earning upon leaving the school. The results of the most recent surveys reveal an average annual salary, including bonuses, for graduates of the MS Finance HEC class of 2006 equal to €68,375, and "only" €59,000 for the class of 2007, which suffered from the recent turmoil of financial markets.

    118,000: AVERAGE SALARY AFTER GRADUATION

    For the first time, we undertook a survey* last fall to gauge the wage of graduates from HEC's MS Finance three years after graduation. The results of this survey show that three years after getting their degree, our alumnis earn on average €118 480 (bonuses included).


    * Survey conducted in November, 2007 - median wage = €104 000 (bonuses included) - Rate of response = 52 % of the class of 2004.
