Great online MBA
Vlerick has a great Online MBA program. A great opportunity to get remote degree. I'm Ukrainian, studying online. Visited the Campus only once for a reunion. Great online library, helpful academic staff.
Excellent Business School
Studying at Vlerick Business School has been a transformative experience. The program is extremely well-structured, combining academic rigor with real-world application. The faculty are not only experts in their fields but also deeply invested in the success and personal development of students. Courses are highly interactive, case-driven, and reflect the latest trends in business, technology, and innovation. What sets Vlerick apart is its strong industry connections and emphasis on practical learning. Through company projects, international bootcamps, and hands-on assignments with firms like Toyota, Colruyt, and SD Worx, I�ve gained experience that bridges the gap between classroom theory and business reality. The international student body and collaborative culture foster a rich learning environment, and the school�s commitment to entrepreneurship, sustainability, and digital transformation is truly inspiring. Whether you're aiming to advance your career, pivot into a new industry, or build a global network, Vlerick provides the ideal platform. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a world-class, forward-thinking business education.
Student services
Feel free to already check out our International Student Guide. This guide has been compiled to provide you with some practical information on accommodation, formalities and procedures you should consider prior to coming to Belgium.
Housing services
Temporary Housing: Vlerick Business School does not offer on-campus accommodation. We advise our students to come to Belgium a few weeks before the start of the programme and book a room at a hostel, Airbnb or similar whilst they look for permanent housing.
Permanent Housing: We strongly recommend to focus your search to the following websites and organisations, which we are in regular contact with. Many of our Vlerick students in the past have used websites to find their home in Belgium and the feedback has always been positive.
Library services
The Vlerick Library fulfils a crossroads function in meeting the School’s information needs in support of management research and education activities. The Library plays an active, even pro-active role, in improving information literacy, building a balanced collection and gathering and preserving knowledge.
Medical services
It is mandatory that you are covered by a health insurance plan during your stay in Belgium. You might be asked to provide proof when registering or extending your residence permit.
We recommend signing up for a Belgian health care insurance. Compared to a typical private travel insurance, the Belgian health care insurance provides you with a lot more coverage in a case of illness.
Campus life
Vlerick Business School has campuses in Brussels, Ghent and Leuven. Our campuses are a meeting place for academics, entrepreneurs, managers and students. This fusion of identities and ambitions leads to a stream of new ideas and insights.
Accreditation
Vlerick Business School belongs to a select group of business schools in the world that hold all 3 major international accreditation labels in the world of management education: EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB. This triple accreditation recognises Vlerick's commitment to setting the highest quality standards in management education and research.
