sent 2 students – Benjamin HOGE and Olivier ANTOINE – in this institution for a one semester study abroad stay.We were
thrilled to discover that, thanks to their dynamism and active promotion, 6 canadian students will study in HEC-ULg next
year.
The General director & Dean, Thomas Froehlicher, thanks them on behalf of the HEC-ULg community for their implication.

PRESS & MEDIA
Which are the most welcoming European countries ? Belgium in Top 5 !
The French website Zoover.fr has interviewed 17.000 web surfers on this issue and the Survey delivered great results as far
as Belgium is concerned:
Belgium holds the 3rd position in this ranking, Austria and Spain achieving respectively the 1st and 2nd position.
Switzerland, France and England occupy the bottom end of the ranking, and this position seems rather suprizing for the
French authorities… who award nevertheless Belgium the title of most hospitable country.
Make your own opinion, by coming to Liege.
You will, with no doubt, appreciate the friendly and warm atmosphere of the Ardent City.

Exchange student testimony
«When we first think about an experience abroad all we want is a good university, terrific teachers, to meet new people from
many different cultures and to have a lot of fun. After spending one semester studying in HEC - Management School in Univer-
sity of Liege, I can definitely say that I had all of this. HEC is a complete school that provides everything we need with a special
and helpful international team. Besides that, the teaching staff has made our time here enjoyable and worthwhile. HEC easily
