Graduates who hold a minimum three-year degree diploma (Bachelor’s, Licence, Benke, etc.) awarded by a nationally accredited higher education institution outside of France can apply directly through Join a School in France.
The deadlines for the 4 application sessions via Join a School in France are as follows:

Round 2: January 6th, 2025 at 6pm Paris time

You select your top choice if admitted to more than one school.
The application fee is 250 euros.
Students must choose one option only, i.e. if you apply directly to HEC, you cannot apply through Join a School in France (ex SAI), and vice versa. Both methods are treated equally and fairly.
If an application is submitted both through Join a School in France and through HEC directly, only the first validated application shall be processed for the September 2026 intake.
