MBA Formats
Whether you choose the 12-month accelerated MBA or 16-month MBA, both are specifically designed to give you the time needed to learn new skills, as well as gain specific work experience in a new sector or job function. The MBA curriculum is subject to change.
Choose Your Path: 12 or 16-Month Program
with two intakes: September and January
We have two intakes each year, in September and January. All of our MBA students follow the exact same core curriculum, regardless of intake and specialization. We also offer an accelerated option, for those looking for a more condensed version, our January Intake – 12-month option, for those looking for a shorter MBA.
Students who choose the 12-month option must do five intensive electives and have fewer choices to customize their MBA journey.
An overview of each option can be found below.
Students from both intakes have the opportunity to merge together into one class during the second half of their programs (during the Customized Phase), creating a sense of teamwork in a collaborative community.
* The HEC Paris MBA and EMBA are accredited to grant a Master’s degree under European Standards and, by extension, are registered on RNCP (Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles).
The Training consists of a total of 600 to 681 teaching hours in 12 to 16 months, depending on the options chosen, delivered in the classroom.
