Artevelde University of Applied Sciences Speciality : Management
programme: Organisation and Management

I would support choosing this university for its practical, hands-on learning approach and exceptional engagement of its teachers. The dedication to continuous modernisation ensures that the programme remains relevant and responsive to a global world. The diploma might present challenges later on for foreign students as lack of English bridge programmes in Belgium and classification of technical education that might be refused in home country for a master programme. Overall I would still recommend it.

I studied Bachelor’s International Organisation Management. What I liked the most was the international environment. You meet people from all over the world, and the courses are quite globally focused with professional teachers with impressive experience. Most of the courses were quite interesting. And the school installations are quite new. However, sometimes I wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the courses or assignments. I felt some teachers (NOT ALL) weren’t teaching their courses in an innovative or interesting way. But maybe that is because my program was quite new and some of the courses were still in development, meaning that I might have felt it was a bit messy, confusing, and chaotic. Hopefully this has improved and will keep improving. Overall, I had a nice experience studying there and met my best friends who made my experience even better!

My studies of IOM at Artevelde UAUS provided me with a great background on hard skills, as well as the opportunity to really improve my soft skills, which have proven just as, if not more, valuable in my work life working as a consultant at a Big 4 company.

Good communication, good teachers, sometimes the differences in level are hard with different persons in a group. Our last prohect was very insightfull as was the intershio we had to do. I lach the practice of in groupdiscussions and presentations

I really liked my program because of the international approach. We had opportunities to go study abroad and do our internship abroad.
The courses were really interesting, offering lots of variety (from photoshop, marketing to sustainability)
The curriculum is up to date, following new trends in labour market (like AI)
The only negative experience would be language. My course was conducted in English but communication at the campus (or in our study platform) was not always 100% friendly

Overall, the professors are really nice and the classes are very practical and well put togheter. As someone who just graduated, I want to say that I am very happy to do so, but I’m also kind of sad, something that you don’t specifically hear from people who just got their degree. I realized only recently that I haven’t only learned a lot from the courses I took, even if at times I had another opinion, but also from the people I’ve met along the way, from classmates to professors. That’s something I really appreciate at Artevelde. They believe in you and do their best for you to do the same.

I wish you the best of luck!

Arteveldehogeschool is a very modern college with lots of different programmes for vary different people. You have associate degrees, bachelor’s, post-graduates, micro credentials, etc meaning it practically has something for everyone.
I studied the Organisation and Management degree with a focus on International relations (currently intercultural relations) and I loved that we had a variety in backgrounds from our lectures. There were ones with a strong background in academia and then there were those with loads of professional experience. They could therefore really back their classes up with their own personal experiences.
I also found that the classes were not too big and not too small. They were small enough that you were able to have 1-1 interaction with lecturers which is big bonus point in my opinion. Arteveldehogeschool also offered interesting guest lectures you could attent and in my programme there was also a lot of internationalisation: there was a week where professors/lecturers from all over the world came to teach a class. There’s also a week where you’re able to go along with a lecturer to a different country. This is called the International week on tour. Plus if you really want to, you also have the ability to do an exchange semester and/or do an international internship.
I would definitely recommend this college.

I like the variety of the courses as in how diverse the topics are still within the same area in a way. Some courses feel completely meaningless but I loved others and the social view of them. I don’t like that classes are pre made and every teacher just repeats them because then you see with some that they don’t really know what they’re saying (since it was not them creating the lesson)

I really enjoyed my time at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences. I worked hard during my studies, but I also genuinely enjoyed my time there. The programme gave me many opportunities to grow, discover my strengths and, most importantly, find out who I am and what I want to do.

I appreciated the variety of courses, the international focus and the teachers who made many of my classes enjoyable. The international aspect of the programme was especially valuable. My year abroad really brought this to life: I had the opportunity to study in South Korea and complete an internship in Spain, experiences that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Of course, like any student, I noticed some flaws and had a few less enjoyable experiences along the way. But looking back, the positive experiences far outweigh the downsides. I met my two best friends during my time at Artevelde, had a lot of fun and grew both personally and professionally.

I am also very grateful for the support I received from Stuvo, especially from Ann-Marie Van Noten, who was a great help with questions regarding finances, study allowances and navigating the practical side of student life.

I walk away from Artevelde with a lot of love and appreciation for the school and the people I met there. It was much more than simply getting a degree, it was an important part of my journey to becoming the person I am today.

I think coming to Arteveldehogeschool was one of the best decisions as an international student, there is a great support, proper and forward thinking classes, dedicated teachers and good environment over all both in the university and in the city.
