Student societies

HEC Paris considers community life to be one of the cornerstones of the education it provides. It develops a sense of responsibility, boldness and entrepreneurship. Becoming a member of one or more clubs or associations is the best way to meet people, share ideas and ideals, have fun, take up a new hobby and become an integrated member of the HEC Paris community.

There are over 100 clubs and associations on campus that students can get involved in, covering a wide range of different activities and interests. Here are just some of the activities on offer:

Leadership skills and Responsibilities

By joining a society, you can develop your leadership and teamwork skills, some of the most important assets required in the world of work. These skills can be developed not only by taking on committee roles, but also by simply participating as a member. Membership is also an opportunity to show commitment and responsibility. Students can practice further skills in areas such as debating and consulting in some of HEC’s largest societies.

Networking Opportunities

Many student societies create opportunities for members to meet company representatives and network with people from all over the world, forging relations with entrepreneurs and making important business connections with like-minded people. It is a great place to share ideas, be inspired by those around you and benefit from the input of others.

Social Life

Aside from academic and career orientated benefits, joining one or more student societies can really enhance your social experience here on campus. Meet other people on your course and from other programs and make friends with whom who you can spend some downtime, both on and off campus. Enjoy various different events organized by the society such as parties, talks, activities and other social events. Many student societies even arrange trips to different cities and areas of France, giving you a chance to explore the French culture and the views that the country has to offer. If you are looking for something more relaxing, you can indulge in the luxury, wine tasting and gastronomy offered by HEC’s leisure societies and reward yourself with foodie events and even wine tasting competitions.

Culture and Intercultural

HEC also boasts a great range of cultural societies that allow students to learn more about the diverse range of cultures here on campus and which provide a place to get involved in music, dance, drama, filmmaking and more.

Sports

HEC has an abundance of sports clubs to suit all kinds of interests, and they are a great way to meet other students. Throughout the year, students can get involved in regular training but also take part in international and inter-school events.

Whichever type of student society draws you in, the combination of community, leisure, and professional insight that you can gain can be extremely valuable in your future. Student societies provide the perfect environment for developing skills and assets that will be highly profitable in the world of work and key to building a successful career.

Grand Cru HEC

Château d’Yquem, Latour, Margaux, Mouton-Rothschild, Haut-Brion, Lafite-Rothschild, Dom Pérignon, ou Cheval Blanc... Autant de patronymes illustres, une chose en commun : tous sont déjà venus à Grand Cru.

Que tu perdes foi en la France chaque fois que tu croises une « Villageoise », que la Kro te convienne le jeudi soir, mais que tu préfères épargner ton palais le reste de la semaine, que tu sois simple novice ou que les caudalies et arômes empyreumatiques n’aient déjà plus de secrets pour toi, l’association d’œnologie Grand Cru est faite pour toi.

ÉVÉNEMENTS CLÉS

Chaque semaine, Grand Cru a l’honneur de recevoir un prestigieux domaine de nos contrées ou d’ailleurs qui vient nous présenter son histoire, son terroir, sa culture et nous faire déguster ses vins. C'est une association de passionnés, ouverte aux amateurs et à ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leur culture du vin. Vous ferez fureur dans les dîners mondains et les repas de famille, mais saurez avant tout apprécier le précieux liquide à sa juste valeur.

Grand Cru c’est 25 dégustations annuelles, organisées chaque mercredi soir, mais également deux week-ends œnologiques organisés en Bourgogne et en Champagne ; l’occasion pour les membres de l’association de se rendre en terre promise, de découvrir le quotidien des producteurs, de déguster ces vins à la source, et de s'initier aux folles soirées bourguignonnes au sein du très sélect' Copacabana Club…

POURQUOI REJOINDRE L'ASSOCIATION ?

Que Grand Cru te fasse rêver depuis longtemps ou que tu viennes de la découvrir par ces lignes, n’hésite pas à te lancer dans cette belle aventure. Vivre des moments de partage, développer ton palais, découvrir le rôle du crachoir à la fin de l'année, c'est tout ce qui t'attend en rejoignant Grand Cru.

Haute Couture

MISSION

Haute Couture a pour vocation de créer et d’entretenir un lien entre le monde du luxe et les élèves d’HEC Paris. Le but est donc de favoriser la rencontre avec de nombreux professionnels, de réfléchir sur les sujets liés au secteur de la mode et du luxe ainsi que d’organiser des évènements sur le campus.

ÉVÉNEMENTS CLÉS

Si la vie de l’association est rythmée par des projets et événements diversifiés (Conférences, vide dressing, workshop...), Haute Couture prend toute son ampleur dans l’organisation de la Fashion Business Week et de son défilé annuel !

POURQUOI REJOINDRE L’ASSOCIATION ?

Haute couture est peut-être ton premier pas vers un job de rêve dans l’industrie du luxe, mais c’est aussi une association pour rencontrer tes camarades de promotion et partager d’agréables moments.
