SPECIALIZATIONS

The HEC Paris Executive MBA's 9 Specializations enable you to expand your knowledge of a specific industry, identify strategic opportunities, and fine-tune your analytical and decision-making skills. 

Our professors teaching our specializations come with a vast base of knowledge and experience in their areas of expertise. Their knowledge is complemented with visiting industry experts and business leaders, empowering you to accelerate and transform your career.

If you have previously completed a Specialization as a standalone course but wish to pursue an EMBA degree, your Specialization will count towards your degree and the price will be deducted from the EMBA tuition.

Your EMBA can be further tailored to your goals with an elective of your choice.

In addition, students have unlimited access to online classes via our GNAM network of partner universities. Access to GNAM begins at the start of the program and is available to students for two years. Upon completion of a course, participants receive a certificate from the partner school.
