We recommend, however, that participants possess a working knowledge of French by the time they arrive on campus. The HEC MBA Program offers a bilingual option – English & French - each year for the September intake only. Participants who choose this option will attend courses conducted in both languages, thus allowing them to develop true language competence. The first eight months of the program may be completed entirely in English or in English & French. Candidates, with a preference for the bilingual section, whose native or professional language is not French, or those who do not hold a degree from a French university or a degree in French language, will be asked to take a proficiency test during the orientation week.
