Admissions
Master of Science X-HEC Entrepreneurs
The Master of Science École Polytechnique-HEC Entrepreneurs welcomes high potential students and recent graduates from around the world. An initial selection is based on the evaluation of all application elements. Pre-selected students are then invited to a challenging interview (on Skype or on campus).
Apply
Hold a Bachelor or Master's degree from an international institution
The MSc X-HEC Entrepreneurs welcomes applications from candidates of all nationalities. They must hold a Bachelor degree (or higher) in any discipline. Previous work experience is not a requirement but can be an asset.
The selection is a 2 phase process:
- A first selection is made based on the evaluation of your application and supporting documents.
- The pre-selected candidates will then be invited for a face-to-face or Skype interview.
Supporting documents to be uploaded before the application deadline:
- Degree certificate(s) or current enrollment certificate
- All official academic transcripts obtained in a higher education institution (exchange programs included) with official GPA
- Résumé (CV)
- English language proficiency test score report (TOEFL or TOEIC or IELTS or Cambridge). Please note that, no minimum pass score is required to apply. This test is waived only for the following:
- English natives (please upload a scan of your passport)
- Students who have earned a degree from an institution in which ALL instruction is conducted in English. The official language of the degree program has to be stated in the degree certificate or its supplement, or in the transcript of records
- Motivation essay
- Passport-style photo
- Non-refundable application fee of €125.
Please note that a B1 level in French is recommended. Some of the program's activities take place in a French-speaking environment, such as the sales seminar or the Redressement/Restructuring mission in partnership with the commercial court. Even though the non-French speaking international students will be teamed up with other French-speaking students in these missions, a minimal understanding of French (level B1+) would allow them to better benefit from their learning.

Apply to five French business schools through Join a School in France. Join a School in France is a platform enabling international students with a non-French Bachelor's degree to apply for the Master's in Management program at five prestigious French business schools via a single application.
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 1: October 10th, 2023, at midnight Paris time
Round 2: January 3rd, 2024, at midnight Paris time
Round 3: March 1st, 2024, at midnight Paris time
Round 4: April 17th, 2024, at midnight Paris time
You select your top choice if admitted to more than one school.
The application fee is 125 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 2024 intake.
