Will I have a better chance of being admitted if I take the MasterTrack™ Certificate first?

Yes, strong performance will be considered. However, please note that completing the MasterTrack™ certificate program does not guarantee admission into the degree program. All applications will be reviewed holistically by the admissions committee of HEC Paris.

Am I required to take the MasterTrack™ Certificate in order to be admitted to the degree?

No. You can apply to the degree program upfront without enrolling in the MasterTrack™ Certificate first.

How do I get started?

You can start your application on the HEC Paris website.
