MBA Solvay Blog

This year MBA Solvay launched Business in China, our firstcelective course abroad. In collaboration with The University of Hong Kong.  17 students took the challenge and flew to Hong Kong and mainland China. This experience was proven to be enriching, both academically and  personally.

Ivan Veloso, class of 2010, made a video and decided to share it: “I appreciated very much the experience we had in HK and recommend it to our colleagues.”

João António, Class of 2009, also wanted to share a little more about his experience:

Hong Kong was not what I expected. It had a lot more variety than I had anticipated, and I got that feeling after only one day there. It was exactly as I had pictured the city, big buildings and bright lights. We had to weave our way through crowds of people as headlights flew past besides us. Even as the clock approached midnight, the streets were still filled, the neon lights were on everywhere, and the shops were all-go. In fact, when I walked the same streets the following morning, the same dynamic was present, very impressive, and very vibrant.

The learning experience was unique! I had the opportunity to share experiences with a very international group of participants and learned a lot about one of the most important markets in the world. A top learning experience in one of the best business schools in the world (Hong Kong Business School)!!!

The course addresses the economic, social and political situation in East Asia, with a special focus on Hong Kong and mainland China. It takes place in Hong-Kong, Southern China and Macao, in the context of a partnership between MBA Solvay and Hong-Kong University. The course is led by Elfed Vaughan Roberts, associate professor at the University of Hong Kong, with the support of professor Antonio Nieto-Rodríguez, from the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management.
