The aim of the program is not to provide a handbook of public management and of successful State modernization; the program is designed to implicate students in a broader reflection about management in the specific context of the public sector. Instead of listing concrete solutions to specific problems, the program focuses on a better understanding of the problem to help managers find an appropriate solution.

The courses are organized of non-working hours on weekdays or during weekends. All courses use Solvay Business School - ULB teaching curricula, both in structure and content. Selection of candidates starts with foundation courses taught by Vietnamese professors. Courses take place every evening, comprising 6 to 9 lessons of 3 hours. On average, there is a course each month for the first 15 months of the program. The last 6 months are dedicated to the final thesis.
