Over the past 30 years, 13,000 managers have followed our Executive Education programmes, and today 500 faculty members teach each year more than 1,000 executives from more than 50 countries.

Over time, we have developed a large portfolio of Executive Education Programmes to give managers essential insights into international business, and the managers who complete the programmes go on to contribute to boosting the global performance of the organisations that have invested in them.

The Solvay Business School has established capabilities in all business disciplines. Today we are running more than 30 programmes, from general management programmes to more specialised courses, in Belgium and around the world. They offer benefits for all levels of management, from junior to top managers, and cover all areas of business.

Taking programmes at our Business School helps individuals and organisations to build new capacities, learn new skills and develop new networks.

Our services are based on four core values:

1) The continuous updating of our programmes to match and anticipate corporate needs
We maintain close links with the business world and its realities. The vast majority of our faculty are major personalities in the Belgian and international business world. Our programmes are continuously reviewed and renewed, and new programmes are launched every year (six in 2003-2004) in order to anticipate and respond to management education needs.

2) A unique way to learn
Over the past 30 years, we have developed real expertise in providing the cutting edge knowledge that brings theory to life and can be employed immediately for a competitive advantage. Our courses develop leaders through in-depth conceptual approach and practical delivery, case studies, seminars and group work and exchange of experience.

3) Leading knowledge in all fields of management
Today we have 15 specialised research centres with more than 50 researchers working across all fields of management to generate important new ideas that will help to transform real management practices. Translating this research into action is at the core of our programmes for helping executives to succeed in the face of constant change and increasing complexity.

4) Multiculturalism
The diversity of cultures and backgrounds of our faculty and students is underpinned by our location in Brussels, the European hub for the international community. It involves accommodating different cultures, practicing tolerance and discovering new ways of doing things.
