What our international alumni say about this programme

ValeryiaThe education here was high-quality, but very demanding. I felt secure here and if I had a problem there was always someone to come to. The professors here are really smart people, they are extremely intelligent and love what they do. I have so much respect for your country and system of education. Belgium knows how to teach and is one of the most developed countries in the world. - Valeryia Yersh, from Belarus, obtained a Bachelor in Business Economics at the Lazarski University (Poland)
AnaI had an Erasmus experience at the faculty of Economics and Business Administration. Professor Heylen afterwards convinced me to get my master in Economics. The theoretical courses here are well-structured and go together very well. It was demanding, but manageable and totally worth it. The professors were very approachable. Professor Everaert for exemple replied within 20 minutes. They want to help you and make you feel better. It was a great experience for me.’ - Ana Milanez, from Slovenia, obtained a Bachelor of Economics at the University of Maribor (Slovenia)
