Vrije Universiteit Brussel - VUB Speciality : Management
programme: Management

The free university of Brussel offers great class time. In addition to this, class sizes are adequate which gives lots of time for one on one interaction. The extreme focus on students needs really helps develop all students into future leaders of a global, free-enterprise society. While providing a great education, this school also provides great on and off campus activities. The free university of Brussel is the home of many wonderful athletic facilities for both team and recreation. Opportunities here are second to none. If you want real world learning and opportunities for jobs like no other, theres no better university to attend.

The Free University of Brussels offers a comprehensive and up-to-date curriculum that covers all essential aspects of the program. The college’s defining feature is the support extended to students. It has a supportive and diverse community, and the staff is always prepared to help and respond to any questions.

The program gives an overview of various sectors hence providing a building block for starting up a career in any one of the sectors from IT to Supply Chain to Accounting and Corporate Finance, to HR, to mention but a few. I think this program is also helpful for taking on executive positions in organisations.

I think the main problem is that some professors ask us to study lessons that they didn’t teach. I think that if you don’t have time, you shouldn’t ask them and I think it’s better to teach less topics but go deeper . Plus, I don’t think it’s a master suitable for people who work.

The school has so much to offer the students and as an international student, it has been an exciting journey so far. The course is so vast giving a grasp of very area of Management. Kudos to the school management and lecturers.

I like that the program is in English and there are a lot of international students. I was born in Belgium and still live in Belgium so it is nice to meet other people. I don’t really like the fact that we have 4 hours classes (from 18h-22h). The professors are ok, they could be more interactive with the students. On-campus is way better than following lectures online. VUB has a very greeny campus which I enjoy very much.

The program is interesting, although the level of the lessons is rather introductory. The workload is rather light in relation to the ECTS credits if you come from a beta-science background. English knowledge of the professors is good, with a few exceptions. Some professors don’t like to record their lessons, which is a pity.

What I like most about the program is the fact that there are a lot of international students from different backgrounds and cultures who have come together to learn at the same place.
Another reason I like is the fact that the course gives us an opportunity to do both the preparatory course before the master’s course since most of us don’t have preliminary knowledge about the course.
