The financial crisis has taught us many lessons. Now more than ever, finance is a field which requires passion and commitment, but also strong ethics and advanced technical skills. If you are looking at our program, there is a fair chance that you have a first training in either finance (business track) or math, economics, physics or engineering (accelerated track) and are now looking to acquire the extra set of skills that will provide a pathway to a successful career in finance. You may also be a young professional who is looking at our new MIF-MBA dual Degree. Many highquality programs exist in Europe, so you are debating which one to choose. Finance and economics have always been essential components of HEC Paris’ DNA. Over the years, the MIF (MSc in International Finance) and the “Finance Major“ of our Master in Management have supplied major international investment banks with their largest contingent of European graduates. They also irrigated the French and European economies beyond the boundaries of Finance: our alumni have a strong toehold in fields as diverse as strategic consulting, top management of industrial firms or public policy making. There are many ways in which education at HEC Paris is different. Our approach is deeply rooted in the French tradition of strong analytics. We are looking for candidates who are strong quantitatively and we do our best to challenge them during the program. Another feature is our obsession with “tailor designing“ our programs to our students. The two different tracks, business and accelerated, allow us to leverage on pre-existing skills and knowledge to design the curriculum in a way that would be impossible in a “one size fits all“ regime. Finally, not only do we believe in giving our students strong theoretical grounding with courses taught by world class researchers, but also “hands on“ knowledge with courses taught by top practitioners working for, or at the head of, international banks, corporations and consulting firms. This unique combination is at the heart of the attractiveness of HEC Paris graduates for international recruiters. As we write this message, we have just finished recruiting students for the Class of 2016. We must say that we are quite excited by the profiles of the men and women that we met throughout the year, coming from all five continents. We have been deeply impressed by their academic, personal and often even professional achievements. We are proud that they chose HEC Paris as the next step in their successful career. We hope that you will want to come and join them: we are looking forward to meeting you soon! »

I think that choosing to go into this Master program has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I look back on this year and I realize just how much I have grown, not only in a professional and academic level, but also personally. The program is very well organized so to ensure that you receive valuable insights into the world of finance, by the hand of excellent professors and practitioners while being surrounded by top-level students. Another of the highlights of the program is the exposure you get to companies and the exit opportunities MIF has to offer are beyond compare. »

The MIF program has a strong focus on acquiring pragmatic knowledge. For this reason, there is a wide variety of group-based case studies which stand as excellent preparation for interviews and real-life work. Further to this, there is plenty of careers support available too; this is true both from careers advisors provided through the school as well as personnel from within the program itself. These sources of career advice proved invaluable in my job search and the exceptional placement record achieved this year is truly testament to the added value of the program. »

general overview Our program aims to fulfill two objectives within a short period of time: lay the necessary foundations for any career in finance and provide in-depth knowledge in each student’s field of specialization. We achieve this goal by leveraging on the specific knowledge and experience students have acquired before joining HEC Paris: Business track students: have already taken at least introductory level courses in financial accounting, corporate finance, financial markets, derivatives and statistics in a Tier-1 international business school or university. They frequently have had first internships in banking or consulting and are looking for an advanced set of tools to jump-start their career. Accelerated track students: have received first class education in a highly quantitative field (maths, physics, engineering, econometrics...) and wish to switch their field to finance. They may or may not have taken some courses in finance and they may or may not have had a first internship in banking or consulting. Business and accelerated tracks mainly differ in courses taught during the Fall term. Business track students follow the same courses as the “Majeure Finance” students of the HEC Master in Management program, starting all courses at an advanced level and getting a first opportunity to specialize through “block electives”. Accelerated track students start all finance courses at an introductory level. However, they go through an intensive Fall term where courses are taught making full use of their strong quantitative skills. Business track and accelerated track students have access to the same pool of electives in the Spring term and have the same career opportunities at the end of the program.

The objective of the thesis is to explore how cuttingedge research is being implemented in the daily practice of finance in a highly competitive environment. professional experience The professional experience requirement is satisfied when the student completes a professional experience of at least 4 months in fields related to their coursework at HEC Paris.

However, some knowledge of French can be useful to enjoy the full HEC experience, become professionally bicultural and optimize networking with French students and alumni. MIF students are required to speak at least one language other than English at intermediate level upon graduation. Thus students who speak only English and no other language are strongly encouraged to attend either the HEC Paris French School or French language classes offered during the year. HEC Paris French School: During their studies, students may also register for a two week French language course (TEF certificate – all levels) in August. This is an exceptional opportunity to learn French before joining the Campus. Extra fees are applicables.

HEC Paris is wellreputed for being one of the leading business schools focused in Finance. One of the greatest strengths of the degree was the opportunity to meet many like-minded and ambitious individuals all at once. There are many alumni from the 2012 MIF class who still meet up on a monthly basis. Most of us are working in a spread of banks in London. Last year we organized a class reunion in London with classmates flying in from all over Europe to meet in London. Some even flew from as far away as Toronto! »
