Year after year, the HEC Montréal MBA program draws in selected

students ready for the challenge and able to follow through on their

commitments. Indeed, successfully completing the MBA program

within a period of one year requires not only talent, but outstanding

organisation skills and considerable adaptability.

Our students have a significant advantage: they already have substantial

experience under their belts when they join the program, which gives

them the opportunity to learn from both their fellow students and

their professors. Their language proficiency, their mobility and their

strong interpersonal skills combined with their leading edge knowledge

acquired in the MBA program makes them prime candidates for

recruiters who, again this year, were very impressed by our graduates.

The HEC Montréal MBA program goes way beyond an academic

education; it is a life experience, a springboard to the future,

a breeding ground of expertise.

MBA /

Carrying the mark of innovation and excellence, the MBA program is offered in two formats: Intensive MBA and MBA in Action. The language of study of the Intensive MBA may be French and/or English. Completed within one year, it involves more than 600 hours of courses, just as the two-year program. It is no small feat that our students accomplish successfully.

practical training easily transferable to the workplace

Our students average 7 years of professional experience and come from various industries. With their training focused on team work, simulations, case studies and business consulting projects, they continually improve their competitive edge and share their skills to reach their objectives. Students must learn to manage their time and get results within very challenging deadlines by relying on the strengths and balance of their task force.

individual management coaching

Becoming a better manager is also knowing how to benefit from the experience of others. The personalized coaching program gives students the opportunity to share their management concerns with seasoned practitioners who can help them develop their insight capabilities and adopt new management practices.

A truly international experience

The HEC Montréal experience is living in a multilingual and multicultural environment with students originating from more than 20 countries. To get a better understanding of the dynamics of international exchanges, students can also take part in the Campus Abroad program. This gives them the opportunity to experience global immersion and exposes them to the business culture of certain industries in a chosen region by interacting directly with local business managers and company executives. In 2013, students visited Australia, Morocco and Russia..

leadership in action and additional training

The School and the Association des étudiants MBA (AEMBA) offer students several opportunities to demonstrate their leadership. The can organize seminars, get involved in the administration of the AEMBA or of the clubs active on campus. Students can also strengthen their skills by registering for SAP certification, business French or English classes or interuniversity competitions.
