“As an international student, I was
fortunate to be offered an admission
scholarship, an international mobility
scholarship and a graduate scholarship.
Also, I was selected for Quebec
government’s Exemption from Differential
Tuition Fee which provided me with a
financial aid of almost 80% of the full
MSc program fee. All these scholarships
gave me the peace of mind I needed to
completely focus on my education.
Overall, the HEC Montréal experience has
been amazing: high return on investment,
helpful faculty, high-quality education,
real-world learning and great friends.”

“Small class sizes in the MSc program
really made for fruitful discussions
with professors, who were always
available to meet with students outside
of course hours.
The School also offers excellent support
for job searches, with its Career
Management Services. For example,
it organizes networking activities and
posts job offers on its web portal.
All these things, combined with the
excellent education I received at
HEC Montréal, helped me find a position
with BNP Paribas in Colombia.”

“The multilingual and cultural diversity
of the MSc program is the reason I chose
HEC Montréal. I had the opportunity to
meet interesting people from around
the world and be exposed to new cultures
and ideas.
Having had the opportunity to experience
close ties with professors made for an
enriching experience too. This mentorship
is crucial for students looking for advice
in entering the job market and looking
for help in discovering their interests
and skills.”
