Specialized Master's in Entrepreneurship

Wishing to develop programs that best meet society's needs and student expectations, the HEC-Management School of the University of Liège has re-examined all its master's programs in management sciences. One result is the creation of a new specialized Master's in Entrepreneurship.

The main characteristic of this practical training program is that it integrates concrete business experience with the curriculum in order to achieve optimal results and realize concrete projects.

From the outset, students are sent to various companies to work in pluridisciplinary teams on six field assignments.

This new HEC-ULg program in entrepreneurship is unique in Belgium and is offered to students already holding a master's degree in management as well as graduates from other disciplines (management, economics, applied science (engineering), law, sociology, architecture, science and communication, etc.) who have the entrepreneurial spirit.

Certificate of Ultrasonography in Rheumatology

Ultrasonography is an essential methodology for rheumatologists. It allows them to objectivize and quantify a number of intra- and peri-articular processes and to be more accurate when analyzing the diagnosis of a rheumatological disorder and its evolution. Using ultrasonography as a "stethoscope"  for the joint requires specific training closely linked with the clinical approach.

This 20-credit program is open to rheumatologists or doctors in their final year of specialization in rheumatology who are entitled to practice in Belgium. Physicians with other specializations must recieve the accord of the director of the program. 

Those wishing to register are invited to contact the person in charge of the program, who will outline the application procedure (one of the prerequisites for applying is having access to a sonograph capable of good quality joint examinations).
