QFIS Hosted a group of Executive MBA participants from HEC Paris.
On 26 October, The Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies (QFIS), hosted a group of Executive MBA participants from HEC Paris.
In their study trip to Doha, the HEC ParisEMBA students/participants are engaged in a study that aims at understanding the region's present and future role in the global economy from the perspective of its own people. They try to identify the competitive advantages of the region's businesses, explore alternative opportunities in the Gulf and be exposed to its cultural and social drives. For many, this is their first visit to Qatar, a chance where they will witness, first hand, the country's extraordinary growth.
While in Doha, they visited some of the country's leading organizations, including Qtel, Al Jazeera, Ras Lafan, QSTP and Total, who has been a long-time partner of HEC Paris, where the team also led a special session on the economics of the energy industry.
In addition to visiting companies, the HEC Paris group was received at Education City, and attended a special session on Islamic Finance organized by the QatarFaculty of Islamic Studies, led by Dean Hatem Al Karwanshawy.
Mr.Joshua Kobb, the group leader, said that "HEC Paris is pleased and honoured to be hosted by the Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies. HEC has a long history of cooperation with peer institutions around the world, and we hope that in future we will have further opportunities to develop our relationship with QFIS."
As leading academic institutions, QFIS and HEC Paris have many similarities.
QFIS was established to achieve intellectual plurality that emphasizes the richness and diversity of the Islamic heritage. QFIS organizes several seminars on finance and other aspects of Islamic studies in an attempt to contribute to the development of Muslim societies and communities and to efficiently meet the challenges and demands of the era.
On the other hand HEC Paris that was founded in 1881 specializes in management education and research. The Center offers a complete and unique range of academic programs for business leaders: the Masters Degrees (MSc programs and Specialized Masters), the MBA program (full-time and part-time), the Executive MBA (Paris, Beijing, Shanghai and St Petersburg), the TRIUM Global Executive MBA (In alliance with New York University Stern School of Business and the London School of Economics) and the PhD. HEC Paris is ranked as Europe's #1 Business School by the Financial Times.
