About this programme
The Business Administration program prepares you to solve complex business problems and develops your understanding of firms' challenges in an interconnected and digitalized world. It is a well-rounded program covering all management domains. You will develop your entrepreneurial, cross-cultural, and language skills in all stages.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration prepares you to find your way in an increasingly complex business environment. Globalization has extended markets far beyond national borders and technology keeps global commerce moving 24 hours a day.
Some products and services become increasingly complex, while others are becoming obsolete. Consumers demand prompt and customized service at the best price. Businesses require complex networks of distribution. These are just some examples of the issues you will address as a student in the Business Administration program.
The three-year program is both hands-on and academic. It follows a practice-as-orientation and science-as-foundation approach. Business Administrators are managers who can make informed strategic decisions in response to economic challenges and opportunities.
The program is taught in English and has a strong international focus. Our students participate in exchange programs with numerous partners both within and outside Europe. Selected students can pursue a double degree with Kedge Business School (Marseille).
This double degree takes four years of study: 4 semesters in Brussels and 4 semesters in Marseille.
Duration: 3 years (full-time), 180 ECTS
EEA nationals and non-EEA nationals who reside in Belgium under a valid residence permit can follow less than 60 ECTS per academic year and accordingly spread their studies over several years. This possibility needs to be discussed with a study career consultant. Note that there are no part-time, evening, or weekend courses organized for this category of students.
