Overview

The Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (SBS-EM) is the business school of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), one of the largest universities in Belgium. Each year the school, which is EQUIS- and AMBA-accredited, welcomes more than 3,700 students, participating in over 30 programmes, including the Bachelor's, Master's, Solvay MBA, executive education and in-company programmes. SBS-EM arose from the merger between the Solvay Business School and ULB's Department of Economics. The school combines the outstanding strengths of its two forerunners, both in terms of its undergraduate and executive programmes and its research and expertise in economics and management. Buoyed by these key assets, SBS-EM has emerged as a leading Belgian and international educational institution in these fields. SBS-EM is guided by: • a mission to train professional and responsible stakeholders and meet society's governance, efficiency and innovation needs; • a commitment to scientific and pedagogical excellence; • an openness to society at large and to ongoing contacts with practitioners in the field, companies and government bodies; • a belief that management is nothing without economic reasoning, and economics is nothing without an understanding of business.
