Summer School

Your Gateway to European Business Excellence
 

While summer schools have long been a feature of American campuses, Europe is now embracing the same model of open, intensive learning. HEC Paris pioneered the concept in France, launching its global Summer School in 2013 to welcome both French and international participants to its renowned campus.

Every summer, students from around the world join HEC for a deep dive into its signature academic excellence. With a wide range of programs — from Data Science & AI to Strategic Marketing, Geopolitics, Entrepreneurship, and Luxury Management — the Summer School reaches well beyond HEC's 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.
