Program details

Overview

This 30-credit undergraduate certificate at HEC Montréal, offered at the Centre-ville and Côte-des-Neiges campuses, is structured as eleven courses: two foundation courses and nine further mandatory courses. It gives a broad overview of the main business functions, including finance, marketing, human resources, and operations and logistics management, and how these functions interact within an organization. Most courses can be taken in person, remotely, or in a hybrid format alternating between the two, though exams are mostly held in person. The certificate is designed as an entry point into management studies for those without a business background, whether returning to studies after prior university work or professional experience in another field, and typically supports progression toward supervisory or management responsibilities within an existing employer or a new organization. It can also be combined with a second HEC Montréal certificate and coursework at the Université de Montréal to earn a cumulative bachelor's degree (baccalauréat par cumul).

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to HEC Montréal's certificate programmes follows one of three routes: holding a Quebec DEC (diplôme d'études collégiales); having completed 30 university-level credits in any programme (minor, major, certificate or bachelor's degree); or having four years of full-time work experience (internships excluded, counted from age 18, in any sector including experience gained abroad). Candidates who completed their prior schooling outside Quebec instead need a secondary diploma equivalent to twelve years of schooling combined with one year of university study (60 ECTS or the equivalent), or may qualify through the same 30-credit or four-year-experience routes. An intermediate-advanced level of French is required, demonstrated through prior schooling or by passing an approved French test or programme; applicants below that level must complete language courses first. Admission is rolling for Canadian citizens and permanent residents, with priority deadlines of May 15 for the Fall term, November 1 for Winter and February 15 for Summer; international applicants must apply by February 1 for Fall or June 1 for Winter, there is no Summer intake for international students, and they must study full-time to meet study-permit and CAQ conditions.
