Presentation

This bachelor's program provides students with a comprehensive foundation in economic sciences, along with courses in general culture and languages. It also aims to prepare students for master's programs in economic sciences.

The first block of the bachelor's program primarily focuses on presenting the theoretical concepts and quantitative tools necessary for understanding fundamental economic mechanisms. This block is supplemented by general culture courses and training in two languages.

The subsequent part of the bachelor's program is dedicated to deepening the economic concepts acquired during the first year.

It is complemented by advanced quantitative courses designed to enable the understanding of economic models and the analysis of economic phenomena. General culture courses remain part of the curriculum, though to a lesser extent, to allow more focus on economics and quantitative courses. Finally, the program continues to include language courses.

  

This versatile program combines theory and practice, providing students with the fundamental academic underpinnings of management for seamless integration into the management environment. The Business Engineering program blends exact sciences (chemistry, physics, mathematics) with management aspects, complemented by courses in law, humanities, statistics, and economics, as well as solid foundations in English and Dutch.

**Solvay Brussels School's Assets**

- An international faculty composed of high-level researchers and recognized professionals, ensuring that teachings reflect the current state of knowledge and adapt to the evolutions of the economic and financial sectors.

**Professional Assets**

To facilitate our students' integration into the workforce, the faculty has established several programs and services offered to students:

- Credited internships in companies (full-time, minimum 3 months - maximum 6 months, abroad or in Belgium) give students the opportunity to gain their first professional experience, test their training, and develop their professional network.

- The Career Service advises and guides students in their job search (Job Day, conferences, Career Book, various job search training sessions). Over time, the Faculty has developed an extensive network of recruiters and numerous contacts with companies in Belgium and around the world.

- A Faculty with an active network of 23,000 alumni, spread across 100 countries.

**International Assets**

The Faculty offers varied opportunities to study abroad (at master's level):

In the current context of globalization and internationalization, SBS-EM deems it essential for students to study abroad. With over 130 university or school partners, it offers students an exceptional opportunity to discover new pedagogical methods, adapt to another educational system, and study subjects. The exchange program also allows students to deepen their language skills, explore the world, discover new cultures, and different lifestyles. By learning to acclimate to a less familiar living environment, students will broaden their horizons, improve their adaptability, and be implicitly exposed to new values, such as tolerance and intellectual curiosity.

*International Exchange Program

Since 1990, the international exchange program has evolved to become one of the Faculty’s most significant components. Today, partnerships have been established with over 130 schools or universities in more than 40 countries.

This international network offers students the opportunity to undertake two international experiences (two exchanges or one exchange and one internship). Additionally, they will benefit from an immersion in an international company during an internship. The network currently has 23 partners and is expanding. More information at www.qtem.org.
