Partnerships
One objective of the MBA is to reinforce the multicultural competences of our participants. We feel that these skills are determining factors for the leaders of tomorrow. With this in mind, we have established interactive collaboration with renowned universities on different continents.
Collaboration takes the form of exchange of professors and students, modules organised abroad, and research projects led by student groups across the continents.
China Foreign Affairs University of Beijing
A collaboration agreement has been signed between the China Foreign Affairs University and the HEG-FR for the EMBA programme. The aim of this collaboration is three-fold: to exchange MBA students between the two schools, to exchange professors, and moreover, to set up a partnership for the creation of a strategic observatory to test the waters and the first subjects. This observatory will comprise other partnerships with well-known universities of applied sciences in Asia and Europe. Contacts are currently being made.

The Latin American students also follow courses specially designed for them on the theme « how to do business in Europe ».

Participants in our EMBA course spend 2 weeks at the University of Vermont in Burlington. The general theme of this special program is « Managing in a global economy ». These classes are held together with American students. Certain other courses are specifically organized for our students, and are devoted to the American culture and to « the American way of doing business ».
Participants also have the opportunity to visit companies in the area.
