This Bachelor’s program provides students with state-of-the-art education in the field of business while acquiring highly valuable entrepreneurial skills. Students focus extensively on contemporary issues and develop their analytical and critical mindsets. In addition to the major courses where students obtain the necessary tools to analyze the global economy, they can also specialize in several fast-developing areas such as digital economy, international finance, and the internationalization of family businesses.

The program offers a great balance between rigorous business education and the excitement of developing a business. In line with the Theory-Guided, Practice-Embedded, Experiential Learning (TPEL) approach of the Brussels School of Governance, students are offered the opportunity to embark on a truly international and practical learning experience.

Embedded in a global community, they gain first-hand experience by exploring different global business environments, internships, study abroad programs, and interactive courses. Students explore how to apply their theoretical knowledge into practice by developing, presenting and launching their business ideas. Together with renowned business professionals, students learn how to identify, pursue and seize business opportunities emerging in the global economy. Through the courses and various networking opportunities, students are able to collect real-life working experiences.

The Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) is the alliance between the Institute for European Studies VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Vesalius College (VeCo). For decades, both institutions have built up strong reputations as frontrunners in education, research, and academic services on the international scene. The BSoG provides a unique educational experience, according to our STEP approach: our programmes are Student-centred, have a solid Theoretical base, their educational Excellence is guaranteed, and they are strongly Practice-oriented. It makes our School a prominent hub for the study of European and global governance, from the BA right up to the PhD level.

The BSoG’s multidisciplinary research activities focus on some of the most urgent governance challenges confronting policymakers in Europe as well as elsewhere in the world in years to come. They cover four broad policy areas: the sustainability transition; the impact of migration on European, national and regional identity; the shifts in political and military competition between the great powers and their implications for European military defence and diplomacy; and the way that new digital technologies challenge existing organisational and management habits and routines, question education and participative democracy more broadly defined.

At the Brussels School of Governance, we want to offer our students not only valuable academic preparation but also the opportunity to test career options, gain practical experience and build relationships with professionals and organisations in their areas of interest, before they graduate. After graduation, BSoG students typically secure positions in various public and private institutions and organisations across the globe, such as the European and international institutions, government administrations, telecom companies, financial institutions, law and accountancy firms, media companies, etc.
