The HEC Master in Finance (MiF) is consistently ranked among the top programs in Europe and is considered world-class, often compared to programs like MIT's. It has excellent placement in both France and London, with graduates frequently landing roles in Investment Banking (IB), Private Equity (PE), and consulting at top firms like MBB and BB banks.
The program offers strong networking opportunities, including a trip to London in October where students meet with 60 firms, allowing them to connect directly with potential employers. However, it is worth noting that a significant portion of the cohort is French, which might make networking slightly challenging for non-French speakers. Additionally, the program is traditionally more focused on financial markets and instruments rather than corporate finance, which could be a consideration depending on your career goals.
In terms of IB placement in London, HEC is highly regarded and opens doors to top-tier firms. It is often preferred over UK Tier 2 programs like Imperial, Warwick, and UCL, and is on par with other top-tier programs like LBS and LSE.

finance & econs is for PhD type future afaik
international finance is best if you're not French and want to recruit into London IB
What if Bachelors GPA wasnt good but GMAT is good 700+ FE?
HEC is a strong target so places well
extremely difficult to get in but very prestigious / great reputation, IB placement in London will give you a clear advantage
Probaly similar placement to the master in management program but slightly worse than the international finance program.
Let’s say o have 5-6 PE/M&A internships how would my profile be?
Oh pretty ideal experience also you have the opportunity to recruit for top fund in London and Paris
