Campus Life

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. In order 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 cafette, 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.

    Students come to HEC Paris not just to learn, but also to share their knowledge and experience in a fast-paced, supportive environment. If you are ready to prepare for a leading role in the future of business, we want to hear from you.
