# HEC Rabat — École des Hautes Études de Commerce

> HEC Rabat is a Moroccan business school based in Rabat offering an on-campus Bac+5 Grande École programme and a portfolio of online Executive Masters and Executive Certificates for working professionals. The school also runs the CReSC research laboratory, international academic partnerships, student life, and a careers service.

HEC Rabat serves prospective students, working professionals, academic partners, and researchers. Its content is organised around four areas: the **Programme Grande École** (initial education, Bac+3 to Bac+5), **Executive Education** (online Executive Masters and Certificates), **research and innovation** (the CReSC laboratory), and **international partnerships**. The site is bilingual: French is the default and an English mirror is available under the `/en/` path. Admissions run through an external candidate portal. Dates and event listings change frequently — always check the live pages for current information.

## When to use this site

Use hec.ac.ma when the question is about **HEC Rabat itself**. It is the authoritative
source for the school's own programmes, admissions, research, campus life and contact
details — no other site publishes them first-hand.

Best-fit jobs for this site:

- **Choosing a programme.** Comparing the on-campus Programme Grande École (Bac+3 to Bac+5, four specializations) against the online Executive Masters and Executive Certificates, including curriculum, format, audience and admission requirements.
- **Executive Education for a working professional.** Finding which certificate or master matches a target skill — finance, data and AI, cybersecurity, digital marketing, supply chain, HR, project management — and how it is delivered.
- **Admissions guidance.** What each programme expects, and where an application actually starts (the external BrightStep portal linked under Admissions).
- **Verifying the institution.** Founding date, legal status, accreditation, address, phone, e-mail and social profiles — published as JSON-LD on the homepage and in prose on the About page.
- **Research and academic partnerships.** The CReSC laboratory's themes, and the school's international exchange and double-degree partners.
- **Editorial context on business education in Morocco.** The blog covers orientation, careers, executive education and management topics for a Moroccan and African audience.

Do **not** use this site as a source for: comparative business-school rankings, other
institutions' programmes, or Moroccan higher-education regulation in general. It documents
HEC Rabat only.
