Thomas More University of Applied Sciences (reviews)

I studied accounting and taxes at the school in Mechelen and I can’t imagine a better school. I was ready for the workfield when I graduated. Also went to Prague for an international experience with the whole class.

I really appreciated how accessible and responsive the school administration was, especially when I was looking for an international internship. I could always count on receiving quick and helpful replies. The same goes for the teachers. I really enjoyed how easy it was to communicate with them, both online and on campus. Most professors genuinely showed a passion for teaching and enriched their course material by sharing their personal experiences and professional expertise. This made the learning experience much more engaging and valuable.

My opinion about the school is honestly nothing but great my experience from the first year to now my third year has been expedition amazing I’ve learned a lot. I’ve met a lot of people internationally and I also got to learn myself even more.

Thomas More is an outstanding institution. The teachers, the people, staff and the kind of different students it attracts all make it a very good institution, that I always commend to other students. Especially as a international business student, the opportunity to go abroad gives you another perspective on life itself. All my fellow classmates look back on this experience the same.

I had a very positive experience at Thomas More University as an Erasmus student. During my time there, I learned a lot both academically and personally. The courses were interesting, and in general, the professors were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their students’ success.

What I appreciated most was the welcoming atmosphere. The university provides a great environment for international students, making it easy to integrate and feel part of the community. Beyond academics, I really enjoyed experiencing Belgian student life for a few months, which was one of the highlights of my Erasmus journey.

Overall, Thomas More offered a great balance between quality education, a friendly environment, and a valuable international experience. I would definitely recommend it to other students considering studying abroad.

My experience at Thomas More has been very positive. The International Business programme offers a good combination of theory and practical projects, which helps students develop skills that are useful in a real business environment. I especially appreciate the international atmosphere, the opportunity to work with students from different backgrounds, and the support from the professors. The programme has helped me become more independent, improve my communication skills and better understand how international companies operate. I would recommend Thomas More to students looking for a practical and internationally focused education.

Three years at Thomas More in Mechelen? Absolutely flew by! With small classes, you’re never just a number—you actually get to know everyone, and the lecturers are super chill and accessible.🙌🏼

The campus is brand new, stacked with awesome spots to hang out, work together, and make connections. Plus, Mechelen is just such a fun, cozy city to live the student life in. Loved every second of these three years!📚😆

Thomas More University offers a unique learning journey where you can experience an international environment and work with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and mindsets. What makes the experience special is the practical approach to learning you gain knowledge not only through theory but also by actually doing the work and gaining real-life experience.

I would highly recommend Thomas More to anyone who is willing to learn, grow, and gain valuable practical experience that prepares you for the real world.

What I love most about this programme is how practical it is. Every semester is project-based, so there is no useless memorisation of material you will never use. Instead, you learn by actually designing, developing and delivering digital products.

The programme stays up to date with the latest technologies and combines design, full-stack development and project management. There is a strong balance between individual work and teamwork, so you learn both how to take full responsibility for your own projects and how to collaborate effectively with others.

Another major strength is the way exams work. Each semester, we present and defend our own digital product in front of our teachers. There are no written multiple-choice exams that test short-term memory rather than real skills. You are evaluated on what you can actually build, explain and demonstrate, which is far more relevant to the professional world.

Under the new programme coordinator, Steven Rasschaert, the programme has become excellent. He is correct, straightforward and genuinely works to create a strong balance across the entire programme. He listens, makes thoughtful decisions and keeps the programme focused, relevant and well structured.

The teachers are knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely willing to share their expertise. They are approachable, ready to support students and clearly care about passing their knowledge forward.

At the same time, despite the seriousness and hard work, I have made many great memories and had a lot of fun working on the projects. There is a very rewarding feeling when something you designed and developed finally works, and I have had many moments where I was genuinely proud of myself and of what I managed to build.

This is definitely a programme for people who want to work in design, development, or even combine both. If you want to learn skills and technologies that you will actually use in a real working environment, rather than just study theory for an exam, this programme is an excellent choice.
