JiaYi Hu Duprez is one of the first candidates that was admited to the Full Time program of MBA Solvay this year. She will be graduating in 2010 and, although her courses will not begin until the end of August, she has already started to network with the MBA Solvay community at our Alumni Day 2009.
JiaYi comes from China, where she did her international business studies. She has an international professional background, starting in a Canadian trading company, going through India and recently moving to Belgium. Doing an MBA is a lifelong dream for JiaYi, who already set her mind when she was an adolescent. She was looking for an MBA fully in English and decided to check out MBA Solvay. She came to one of the information sessions where the academic director Hugues Pirotte presented the program. The interaction with the director and the alumni, together with the reactivity of the admissions department helped her decide to apply to MBA Solvay and to start the admissions process.
Her expectations are set mainly in the experience sharing that comes with the MBA (with faculty, students and alumni) and on better defining her career goals.
PS: The Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management is also known under its former name Solvay Business School. The change of names was motivated by the merger of the Economics Department of the ULB and the Solvay Business School. The school is sometimes referred to using the acronym SBS-EM.
