HOW FAR
CAN OUR MSC TAKE YOU?
MANIT SHAH
Master of Science (MSc) — Global Supply
Chain Management, 2014
Buyer, National Agreements,
PCL Construction
“As an international student, I was
fortunate to be offered an admission
scholarship, an international
mobility scholarship and a graduate
scholarship. Also, I was selected
for Quebec government’s Exemption
from Differential Tuition Fee which
provided me with a financial aid of
almost 80% of the full MSc program
fee. All these scholarships gave me
the peace of mind I needed to
completely focus on my education.
Overall, the HEC Montréal
experience has been amazing: high
return on investment, helpful faculty,
high-quality education, real-world
learning and great friends.”
ÉTIENNE THOMAS
Master of Science (MSc) — Finance, 2017
Client Development Assistant,
BNP Paribas Securities Services
“Small class sizes in the MSc program
really made for fruitful discussions
with professors, who were always
available to meet with students
outside of course hours.
The School also offers excellent
support for job searches, with
its Career Management Services.
For example, it organizes networking
activities and posts job offers
on its web portal.
All these things, combined with
the excellent education I received
at HEC Montréal, helped me find
a position with BNP Paribas
in Colombia.”

“The multilingual and cultural
diversity of the MSc program
is the reason I chose HEC Montréal.
I had the opportunity to meet
interesting people from around
the world and be exposed to new
cultures and ideas.
Having had the opportunity
to experience close ties with
professors made for an enriching
experience too. This mentorship
is crucial for students looking
for advice in entering the job market
and looking for help in discovering
their interests and skills.”
