Is it still possible for MiM students to do an internship in France or elsewhere? If so, what could be the duration of the internship?

Yes, it is possible for MiM students to do an internship in France and most do choose to remain in Europe during their gap year and after graduation.

During the optional gap year, internships usually last 6 months. As for internships after graduation, it completely depends on the industry. In Finance for example, 97% of HEC students converted their internships to full-time job offers. 

ARE THERE STUDENT SOCIETIES AT HEC PARIS?

Yes, over 130 clubs exist in different categories: sports, professional activities, culture, humanitarian aid, finance, public affairs and more. We suggest that all students participate in at least two associations.

IT IS SAID THAT THE ALUMNI NETWORK IS A VALUABLE ASSET. WILL I GET TO MEET THEM DURING MY TIME AT HEC PARIS?  

HEC Alumni is based on campus and HEC graduates often come to the campus to talk about their jobs and companies. They will help you define your professional goals and guide you in your search for jobs and internships. Every HEC Paris student is considered as a junior member of the association and can therefore have access to the whole network.

WHAT ARE THE CAREER SERVICES AVAILABLE?

Located in the heart of the school, the HEC Talents career department strives to help students build their career plan and to provide the best possible internship and job opportunities.
