About the program

HEC Paris (Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Paris) offers two summer sessions, each consisting of 2-week intensive programs centred on business topics. Students can participate in one program per session, up to two programs total during the full summer period. Highlights include seminars with leading professors and industry professionals, hands-on learning, case studies, groupwork, and networking events on campus.

More specific and finalized program details can be found on the partner institution's website. However, you must apply through Go Global to be considered for this program and ensure you follow the appropriate transfer credit process.

Who can go?

There are a limited number of summer exchange spaces (i.e pay UBC tuition) available for Commerce students only, which will be assessed on a competitive basis. Non-Commerce students, including Management students at UBCO, and students not selected for exchange may still be able to participiate via the study abroad pathway (i.e. pay the partner institution directly).
