Program Overview

Program Description:

Today's companies are confronted with an increasingly complex economy. Their markets are extending far beyond national borders. Commerce - both online and on-site - is carried out on a global scale. Technology is evolving faster than ever. As products and services become increasingly complex, others become obsolete. Consumers, whether in the market for household products, a new MP3 player or financial advice, demand quick and customised service at a fair price. Today's MBA student must be able to foresee and respond to these and other issues. This is an initial Master's programme and can be followed on a full-time or part-time basis.

The Master of Science in Business Administration (MBA) is a one-year Master's programme taught in English. It has an international focus and is designed to provide you with academic knowledge as well as hands-on expertise, enabling you to be successful in international management positions.

The Faculty of Economics and Business has a clear motto: "Not business as usual". This encapsulates our unique educational profile well. At KU Leuven at HUBrussels we stimulate entrepreneurship in a programme with a clear business-oriented focus. Choosing the MBA is choosing a programme with a strong reputation in the corporate world. Business-oriented: We invite international managers and government officials to share their experiences with students at guest lectures held throughout the year. You will acquire valuable managerial skills through company projects and the Master's thesis. Emphasis is placed on decision-making, teamwork, dealing with other cultures, time management, communication skills, etc. In the heart of Europe: Learn business where business is done! Brussels is the economic heart of Europe. As a business hub, Brussels has a central position in Europe and it hosts the EU and the NATO, as well as diverse range of international trade and finance organisations. Brussels is where hundreds of multinational corporations have their head offices and where many important political and economic decisions are made. Your campus is in the middle of this decision-making centre: a head start for launching your career.
