What will you learn?

What to expect?
International practice
The theory is good. Practice is better! We have all it takes to inspire you: you can expect an internship abroad in your final semester, numerous company visits and guest lectures, groundbreaking field trips abroad, internationally oriented cases, and virtual collaborations in international classrooms.
Internationally-minded fellow students
Artevelde University of Applied Sciences relies on a broad network of partner institutions in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. This enables attractive and enriching exchanges. Your fellow students come from diverse backgrounds and roots and have a decidedly global worldview. This an excellent opportunity to improve your language skills, hear other points of view, and work together on cases and projects.
Personal approach
Your program focuses on elementary business skills and attitudes, such as a hands-on approach and a flexible attitude. To facilitate your learning process, you can take many classes in small groups.
Broad focus on business and languages
Speaking in tongues
A natural-born linguist? Then you should consider this program! Learn to communicate like a pro in English and two other foreign languages. Opt for German, Spanish, French, or Chinese. Or join another foreign language course of your choice at an external accredited institution. Follow your heart and pick up Korean, Arabic, Swedish, or any language that tickles your fancy.
Do I need to be fluent in English?
As International Organisation and Management are taught entirely in English, you must master them sufficiently. You can prove your language level through one of our own language screenings or provide us with a certificate of our approved language skills tests.
What about other languages?
If you pick French as one of your foreign languages, make sure to have an intermediate level already. You do not need specific prior knowledge of any foreign language, just a keen interest in learning and a can-do attitude.
Digital is key
In a rapidly changing digital world, knowing how to deal with the latest information and media tools is crucial. Working in the cloud, starting up e-commerce, or even developing a basic website will all be part of your study track. Of course, you do not need to become a computer expert. But being passionate about social media, creative digital, and office software will give you a great head start. No wonder these topics are vital ingredients in your International Organisation and Management program.
