African students, this is for you!

Candidates for the HEC Paris PACT Program (Programme d’Accompagnement des Talents Africains) have the opportunity to apply through Join a School in France to join one of the following 4 top-ranked French Business Schools: Audencia Business School, Emlyon Business School, ESCP Business School and SKEMA Business School.

When they are not eligible for HEC Paris, african students can discover new opportunities by applying through Join a School in France. They are well prepared to our selection process. So good luck!

The representative office of HEC Paris in West and Central Africa wants to contribute, in a sustainable way, to the training of local elites in order to support companies in their growth and help the development in human resources of African countries. Launched in September 2019, PACT Africa (program to support African talents) builds on the double degree agreement signed in 2017 between HEC Paris and INP-HB (Institut National Polytechnique Félix Houphouët Boigny) in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast. Now, we can also find PACT in Cameroon and Gabon.

PACT Afrique is expected to double the number of students from Sub-Saharan and Southern Africa in the Grande Ecole’s Masters program over five years.
