Your Gateway to European Business Excellence

 

While summer schools have long flourished across American campuses, Europe is now embracing this dynamic model of open, intensive learning. HEC Paris proudly pioneered the concept in France, launching its Summer School in 2013 to welcome both French and international participants onto its renowned campus.

Each summer, students from around the globe join us for a deep dive into HEC’s signature academic excellence. With 15 cutting-edge programs - from Data Science & AI to Strategic Marketing, Geopolitics, Entrepreneurship, and Luxury Management - our Summer School offers far more than a glimpse into our celebrated Finance tradition. It’s a chance to explore the full breadth of HEC’s expertise, connect with a diverse cohort, and experience the energy of one of Europe’s top business schools.
