The SBS-EM is a research-based institution, in two respects. First, the duty of all core faculty members includes the production of scientific output (publications, conferences, case studies) and the supervision of PhD candidates. Second, the SBS-EM provides an infrastructure for research, through its four main research centres, the Centre Emile Bernheim, DULBEA, ECARES and iCiTE, and their doctoral schools. As one of the ULB and SBS-EM flagships, the scientific research in economics and management benefits from an important investment by the School and the university and enjoys a truly international reputation.
The Career Services will allow you to prepare for the market, understand what you want to do and how to get it. Throughout the year, a series of workshops on how to write a CV and application letters, interview simulations and other activities will provide students with practical guidance in their approach to their future.

The Campus Recruitment, complements this offering by allowing students to meet companies face-to-face during the now infamous evening conferences and yearly SBS-EM job day.
