HEC Paris welcomed new participants of the International Executive MBA in Qatar during an online event held on February 18.
The institution will also organise a series of pre-programme activities throughout February and March, aimed at further preparing participants for the Executive MBA programme whose first module will start in April.
While still accepting applications, HEC Paris has urged EMBA candidates to complete their application formalities at the earliest in order to fully benefit from the pre-programme activities, a press statement notes.
“The pre-programme activities provide incoming International Executive MBA participants with insights into the learning journey that lies ahead of them,” said Dr Pablo Martin de Holan, dean of HEC Paris in Qatar. “A series of initiatives like Majors Fair, Capstone Introduction and Business Environment Webinar prepare incoming participants to fully benefit from the programme and how it will help advance their personal and professional objectives.”
Dr Martin de Holan added, “Participants who enrol in the International Executive MBA also benefit from a world-class faculty and interactions among senior participants who bring a wealth of practical business experience from a wide spectrum of industries. Impact and excellence are at the core of all of our activities, and has been since our arrival in Qatar a decade ago.”
Ranked No. 3 in the world by the 'Financial Times', HEC Paris’ International Executive MBA enables participants to develop their leadership skills and advance their careers. Through this transformational experience, individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, reinforce connections within the learning community and gain insights about global business trends, the statement explains.
“The HEC Paris International Executive MBA represents a great personal learning opportunity to develop strategic vision and strong leadership skills. With its part-time offering, this programme is an ideal fit for my busy working schedule that allows me to remain focused on my job while pursuing my degree,” Tariq Atiq, EMBA Class 2020, deputy general manager - Corporate Banking Group at
Bank Muscat, said.
Another benefit of enrolling in the HEC Paris’ International Executive MBA is that its graduates become part of the institution’s prestigious alumni network worldwide, which was ranked number one by 'The Economist' in 2019.
Nourin Hisham E, EMBA Class 2016, executive director of Strategy, Administration and Projects at Qatar Foundation, added: “The network is one of the strongest offerings of the institution. We have a very strong representation of alumni in the business community, with many opportunities to get together, share ideas and organise socials.”
