Executive programs in Asia
Find the program that fits your managerial ambitions.
Heading for Asia
Since 2012, HEC Liège Executive Education offers executive programs dedicated to managers active in megacities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, and many others throughout Asia. Combining online and face-to-face courses, our programs are organized in a staggered mode to match the tight schedule of our student-managers. With both academic and field expertise, we offer student-managers the opportunity to deepen their management skills and enhance their professional experience through various programs.
Accredited by EQUIS and AACSB, our Executive Masters are university certificates and as such are recognized by the French-speaking Community of Belgium. Recently the launch of an Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (EDBA) has completed this offer of continuing education.
The popularity of these programs can be seen in the increasing number of delegations that HEC welcomes each year during the organization of graduation ceremonies which are the opportunity for our graduates to visit the ULIège campuses, visit local companies, attend extra seminars and workshops and celebrate the success of their programs with us in Belgium.
