HEC Paris offers one of the most internationally diversified, largest and greenest residential Campus in Europe with 135 nationalities represented on site. The campus is well-equipped and the ideal environment for learning and personal development. The campus boasts state-of-the-art classrooms, amphitheatres, research centres, and a well-equipped library.

Any candidate who has applied to the MBA Program will automatically be considered for our Excellence and Diversity scholarships by the HEC Paris MBA Scholarship Committee. To be considered for the Forte and L’Oreal scholarships, you must submit your essay at the same time as your application to the MBA program.

Scholarships are awarded in various amounts, and it is the Scholarship Committee that determines the amount of aid being awarded to each candidate. The committee takes into consideration many aspects of your application, including your essays, your background and personal work history, your GMAT score, and the results of your two interviews with HEC Paris MBA alumni.

Our scholarship deadlines run parallel to the deadlines for applying to the program. So you must submit your MBA application to be considered for any of the HEC Paris MBA’s scholarships. The last essay of your application is reserved for any additional information you would like to share with the committee for the Excellence and Diversity scholarships.

If you would like to learn more about your potential eligibility for scholarships, we invite you to contact the Marketing and Recruitment Manager for your region.

If you are a scholarship recipient, you will be informed by an Admissions Officer at the time of the final decision of your application. The scholarships will be deducted from the final instalment of the MBA tuition fee.

HEC Paris is located on a 340-acre wooded campus, 10 miles (17km) southwest of Paris, from which the culture, history, and charm of the French capital are easily accessible. Strategically situated in the Paris-Saclay Innovation Cluster, our location enables our students to draw upon the expertise of the cluster and team up with scientists to bring their technological inventions to market.

Our proximity to Paris allows students to easily find an internship in the city and to take advantage of Paris' location as a travel hub for all of Europe.

Living on Campus

Many of our MBA students choose to live on campus, in one of our residence halls. We offer individual rooms and a small number of apartments that are reserved for couples and families. To take advantage of on-campus housing options, we suggest that you apply as soon as possible after you've been accepted to the program.

Our location in the picturesque village of Jouy-en-Josas offers something for everyone. Whether you want to study, party, play sports or go out, the HEC Campus has it all: a cafeteria, a bar and cafe, study rooms and a lounge, a newly built gym and sports hall, not to mention 8,000m² of sports fields. Our library offers 60,000 books and e-books on management, as well as 1,500 periodicals in a variety of languages to help keep you up-to-date.

Our Languages Center offers students the chance to practice their French (as a foreign language) or learn a completely new language. All of this is located in the beautiful surroundings of the French countryside, with acres of woods, lakes and fields to be discovered.
