"Apart from the countless group projects, presentations and company visits, the program has allowed me to develop essential entrepreneurial abilities, master key managerial concepts and build the right team-player mindset to cope with a continuously changing environment.
I've had the honour to be carefully guided in creating my own venture with a fellow student, to lead a group-based three-month internship at a fast-growing digital marketing scale-up in Brussels and to be part of a consulting project for EY. Still, one of the most important skills the program has taught me is how to give proper presentations, how to pitch in front of investors. It has already proven to be very useful in my professional life."
"The network you build among your classmates during the Advanced Master is as much valuable as the network you build with the faculty or the guest speakers.
The name of Solvay Brussels School on my CV was honestly a fast-forward ticket into the company I just got hired.
Last but not least, I also feel confident with the way I tackle projects, proposals and business cases which is now much more structured and more in line with what executives expect."
