Overview

The General Management programme from Vlerick Business School takes you beyond specialised skills by providing a complete business toolbox. Across ten months (September–June), you’ll engage in interactive lectures, team projects, business cases, company visits, and simulations. A two-month business consulting project lets you apply what you’ve learned in a real context. Highlights include the Berlin “Impossible Futures” trip, various bootcamps and electives, and a personal development portfolio to build leadership, communication, and career skills.
