Anton Krawchenko - HEC MBA 2006 Graduate

There are thousands of French people in London working in finance, and there are lots of Grande Ecole alumni here as well.

It's a school that is very well known and respected, which helped me in the interview process and now helps me connect to my colleagues and clients. ...

The HEC MBA is really unique in that you can customize it to fit your needs. There are so many different aspects of the program that you can tailor to your ultimate goals.

No other business school did that, and I really appreciated it....

Marcus Magarian - HEC MBA 2007 graduate

I was born and raised in New York City, but I knew that I wanted to earn an international MBA. I actually see it as a real disadvantage for Americans to pursue an MBA in the US: in a globalizing world, international business and emerging market development will be where the greatest opportunities for profitability will arise; if you keep thinking domestically while the rest of the world globalizes, you will inevitably be left behind....
