Not only did the summer school provide me with the foundational knowledge of investment banking, but it also gave me a greater drive and passion, which I can now pursue.

Learning directly from HEC Paris’ professors alongside guest speakers helped us ground our theoretical knowledge with practical elements and examples from recent real-life case studies. There was a great emphasis placed on the importance of understanding instead of memorizing.

Coming into HEC, I was unsure if Investment Banking was a suitable career path for me. I was hoping that by the end of the Summer School I would have more clarity and be in a better place to make my career choices, and the Summer School did not disappoint. There are many institutions that teach, but very few that manage to inspire at the same time. 

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the HEC Paris Summer School. The two weeks were a formidable experience. With a comfortable atmosphere in lectures and many extra-curricular activities, which helped me bond with other students across various programs, the Summer School proved to be an invaluable experience.
