Admissions
The HEC Paris Summer School is open to young professionals, Masters students, recent graduates, and current University-level students. You do not need to be a student at the time of the program in order to apply.
The application portal for our Summer 2024 programs will open towards the end of 2023. Pre-register to be alerted when the portal opens. Eligible candidates will be offered admissions on a rolling basis until the programs are filled. We recommend applying early as some programs fill up fast.
Please note that for all programs that are being held on the HEC campus we are able to guarantee residence on campus for all participants who book their room when confirming their place. For the joint programs with TUM and EHL other arrangements have been made.
Please consult the Fees page for further details on accommodation.
To apply for a seat in up to two of our summer programs, please submit your application online with all supporting documentation. Please note, all programs entail a full-time commitment, so participants can only attend one program per session.
We encourage you to apply early as programs will remain open on a space-available basis for eligible candidates.
