Graduates who hold a minimum three-year degree diploma (Bachelor’s, Licence, Benke, etc.) awarded by a nationally accredited higher education institution outside of France can apply directly through Join a School in France.

The application fee is 220 euros.
Students must choose one option only, i.e. if you apply directly to HEC, you cannot apply through Join a School in France (ex SAI), and vice versa. Both methods are treated equally and fairly.
If an application is submitted both through Join a School in France and through HEC directly, only the first validated application shall be processed for the September 2025 intake.
