SPECIALIZATIONS

The HEC Paris Executive MBA's 8 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.
