The industry experts and the guest lectures combined with the focus on case-oriented teaching make HEC stand out.

The lecturers were able not only to provide a theoretical foundation, but they took it a step further and truly taught valuable industry expertise impossible to get only by reading textbooks.

The most valuable thing of the Summer School was that the professors were able not only to provide a theory, but additionally they “obliged” us to not only learn the theory by heart, but to really understand the subject which I think is neglected at many universities.

Campus life with social activities were superb. The HEC campus is very scenic and beautifully located in the countryside. Paris is nearby and perfect spot to explore during the weekends, whereas Versailles makes a good afternoon trip. 

I most definitely recommend the HEC Summer School. Being a student at the HEC Summer School does not only provide an enhanced theoretical toolbox, but it also enables students to create an international network from a young age which I believe can be valuable many years going forward.
