Officials with the graduates at the ceremony.
DOHA: The Class of 2016 of HEC Paris in Qatar held its graduation ceremony at Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
The batch included 94 graduates — 45 Executive MBA (EMBA) and 49 Specialised Master in Strategic Business Unit Management (SBUM) participants. The class comprised 40 nationals in SBUM and 23 in EMBA – a reflection of the growing popularity among nationals of the programmes offered by HEC Paris in Qatar.
Both programmes also attracted 31 non-Qataris from 16 nationalities, which is indicative of the multinational appeal of the programmes.
Thirty-four graduates were women. One of the most prominent members of Class of 2016 was
H E Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson and CEO, Qatar Foundation (QF).
She said, “We should never stop learning in our journey towards developing not only for our own careers, but also for the success of the company which we work for. The skills and knowledge I have gained from my time at HEC Paris has assisted in my ambitions and goals and I look forward to sharing this with my peers.”
HEC Paris Dean Professor Peter Todd announced Professor Nils Plambeck as the new Dean of Qatar campus and thanked outgoing Dean Prof. Laoucine Kerbache for his tenure over the past four years.
