Would you like to study in Canada at a top business school with an international and multilingual environment? HEC Montréal’s BBA with a preparatory year takes you on this great adventure while providing excellent support. See why thousands of students have opted for this 4-year postsecondary program that is unparalleled in North America.
At the start of each school year, hundreds of students hailing from 30 different countries enter HEC Montréal’s BBA preparatory year. This integrated preparatory year is designed to be a transitional year wherein students have time to adapt to North American culture and a different type of education, and meet the BBA admission requirements. It is also a chance for them to explore their new world, become familiar with business administration, and catch up in certain areas of study.
At the end of the first year, preparatory students will enter the BBA program directly and bypass the selection process. They will have completed the core curriculum before going on to choose a specialization. HEC Montréal’s outstanding faculty with broad-ranging expertise teach in a variety of outstanding specializations in every field of management. This is the point when students begin to fine-tune their profile and gradually advance toward a future career.
HEC Montréal is one of the best business schools in the world, evidenced by its three prestigious accreditations.
One hallmark of the preparatory year is that it brings together young people from 5 continents and more than 30 different countries to study in Montréal. These students have chosen one of the top university cities in the world to learn about business administration while taking courses in French and English – and even Spanish for those who opt for the trilingual stream!
The preparatory year gets students started on a four-year journey. On this small campus, students will forge a strong sense of belonging. They and their cohort will begin building social and cultural ties in a new country. They will never be isolated, and will develop a sense of teamwork and solidarity with one another, which could turn into lifelong friendships and connections.

“I learned how to live far away from my family. The preparatory year activities, activities on culture shock, really helped me. I got involved in various activities: Forum des affaires mondiales (World Business Forum), the WTC simulation, and the general culture competition. It taught me how to build the relationships I would need to have the best possible experience.”
Located at the base of Mount Royal, HEC Montréal has a reputation for its beautiful, wooded campus and its top-notch equipment. Students in their preparatory year can study at the School in optimal conditions while adjusting to their new environment.
