You may be wondering, ‘Is Solvay the right school for me?’ This is an important question, and you are not alone in asking it.

Joining the Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management is not just about joining a renowned institution. It is about choosing an academic environment that prepares you to understand the complexity of the economic world, develop a critical eye, and build solid skills for the rest of your career.

Beyond scientific rigour, the school emphasises the ability to analyse, debate, collaborate and find responsible solutions to current economic and societal issues. We are not looking for students who already know everything. We are looking for curious, open minds who want to ask the right questions and get involved.

The Solvay Brussels School offers a wide range of programmes, from bachelor's degrees to doctorates, including specialised master's degrees and continuing education programmes. Each programme is designed to combine scientific rigour, practical application and international outlook:

  • Bachelor's degrees in Economics or Business Engineering (in French or English): a solid foundation in economics, finance, management and statistics, with options allowing students to specialise from the outset.
  • Master's degrees in Management and Economics: a variety of programmes ranging from strategic management, marketing and finance to applied economics and public policy. These programmes include practical projects with partner companies, in order to develop skills that are directly transferable to the professional world.
  • Specialised Masters degrees: programmes of excellence that enable students to acquire cutting-edge expertise in fields such as international finance, data science applied to economics, or entrepreneurship and innovation.
  • Doctorate and research: for those who wish to immerse themselves in high-level academic research, with the support of renowned researchers and the opportunity to contribute to scientific publications.
  • Continuing education programmes: with Solvay Lifelong Learning, these programmes are designed for professionals who wish to strengthen their skills or change career direction, with a focus on agility, leadership and the ability to innovate in complex environments.

Internationalisation is an integral part of this programme. Thanks to programmes taught in English from the Bachelor's level onwards, double and triple degrees with renowned universities, and numerous exchange opportunities (more than 140 partners worldwide & member of the QTEM network), you will have the opportunity to broaden your academic and cultural horizons. These experiences are not just ‘extras’ on a CV: they are designed to expose you to the diversity of perspectives and the reality of careers in a globalised world.
Social responsibility, innovation and entrepreneurship are at the heart of our programmes. We firmly believe that today's graduates must be able to analyse the impact of their decisions, adapt to changes in the world of work and contribute to meaningful projects.

Finally, joining SBS-EM means becoming part of a vibrant, ambitious and supportive community. During your studies, you will benefit from high-quality supervision, business projects, credited internships, and events that will allow you to forge links with the professional world. After graduation, you will be part of a network of more than 30,000 alumni who share the same values of excellence and commitment. This network provides concrete support on a daily basis, which you can count on for the long term.

Choosing the Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management means deciding to chart your own course with ambition, curiosity and responsibility.
