MBA (Part time study)

This two year program is designed to educate managers in the business sector. The courses are organized of non-working hours on weekdays or during weekends. All courses use Solvay Brussels School of economics & management - ULB teaching curricula, both in structure and content.

A NEW curriculum!

This year program has been revamped to embody the latest trends in MBA curriculum and to comply with the AMBA (Association of MBA) accreditation.

Our experience of 15 years in Vietnam, combined with the latest insight on how best to train leaders, inspired us to update our part time MBA program. We believe that traditional MBA programs designed only with discipline-based courses are not fulfilling their mission of preparing their students for leadership positions in modern organizations. Our third module, Integrative management, will prepare our students to work on a multidisciplinary basis, covering different aspects of the business at the same time. Just like in the business world!

In addition, students will work on developing interpersonal skills needed to be effective leaders.

Program

The whole program is divided in 4 modules.

During the first year, students will go through the foundation of a strong MBA program and complete 2 modules:

1) Business Environment (4 courses)

• Global economic & geopolitical issues
  
• Social regulations & coporate social responsibility
  
• Managing the future
  
• International business law

2) Management Fundamentals (6 courses)

• Strategy and corporate governance
• Accounting & control systems
• Corporate finance
• Marketing management
• Human resources management
• Management of business systems

At the end of this first year, students will work on a specialized business case (personal assignment)

Second year, students will go through another 2 modules

3) Integrative management (5 courses)

• Business & financial planning
  
• Seminar of management and organization
  
• Management of innovation
  
• Strategic business intelligence
  
• Project management
  

This module will be completed by a 10 days trip in Europe (called the Entrepreneurial week); if students are unable to make the trip to Europe, they will work on a consulting project in Vietnam (called the International business field project).

4) Soft skills

• People leadership and team empowerment (this will come in the form of a residential week-end seminar at the beginning of the program)
  
• Personal communication, business argumentation & negociation
  
• Career management and personal branding
  
• Final master's presentation (grand oral)
  

Trip to Europe or IFBP

Students will have the choice to either go for 11 days in Belgium, at the heart of Europe, or stay in Vietnam to work on an International Business Field Project.

The “European week”, though being 11 days, will take place on the 2d year of study. It will focus on entrepreneurship and the European context (Brussels is the capital of Europe, where all major European institutions have their headquarters). Students will work on a consulting assignment in teams and follow a seminar on entrepreneurship. Those choosing this option will have to budget another 4,000$ to cover all expenses.

Students staying in Vietnam will work in teams on real consulting projects coached, by senior consultants in Vietnam.
