Was Successfully Completed on July 2023
During the week of July 10, we were delighted to host a group of 35 MBA students from one of UNIL's partner universities Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE) for the Study Abroad Module. SUFE is the first establised university in China specialized in finance and economies. In 2023, with its full-time MBA program, SUFE obtained Financial Times ranking No. 23 worldwide and No. 2 in China. Most students of this SUFE MBA group hold senir management positions in companies from new energy, high-tech, financial service firms and banks.
Entitled by the themes of "Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the New Economy" and "Sustainable Economy and Green Finance", our HEC professers and industrial experts gave tailor-made lectures and elaborate how Swiss financial companies, governments and regulatory agencies succeed to make Switzerland a global comptitive economy and innovation hub. In addition to lectures on the campus of UNIL, the students also had seminars at the headquarter of World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Sports and Cultural Centre in Champery. Students also have a deep understanding on the core value and sustainablity development path of Swiss family businesses via the on-site visits in Valais.
The SUFE MBA students were very satisfied with this first edition of Study Abroad Module hosted by HEC Lausanne. They also impressed by the Swiss nature and environment.
Another cooperation between SUFE and UNIL is the forthcoming joint program of Global MBA , which will start in September 2023. We look forward to welcoming the first class of UNIL- SUFE Global MBA students on the campus of UNIL!
