Great teaching method

Wide range of knowledge acquired and even though this comes at the price of a heavy workload, I'd say it's worth it. The professors are very approachable and it is generally a health learning environment. For international students, the tuition is an absolute steal, given the quality of education.

My Little Review

If you are looking for a real business experience and course, definitely apply for IBM at KDG. This degree is awesome. Every day, I get to learn new things from different experts and Lectures, and I fall more in love with the business world.

Excellent learning experience!

The course was expertly presented and covered practical, relevant, and up-to-date content that gives you a cutting-edge understanding of cross-border company affairs. In addition, I got the opportunity to meet new professionals from other countries.

International Tourism and Leisure

I’ve just finished my degree in International Tourism & Leisure at Thomas More, and honestly, it’s been an amazing experience. The program gave me a solid understanding of the tourism and hospitality industry and helped me develop both practical and theoretical skills. What I loved most was the international approach and the hands-on projects with real companies, which really prepared me for the professional world. The professors were always supportive and passionate about what they teach, which made a huge difference. On top of that, I met incredible people from all over the world and made friends for life, which made the experience even more special. Thanks to this degree, I’ve gained not only knowledge but also great opportunities to grow and start my career in tourism. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in this field!

internationally focused business programme

I study International Business Management at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences and overall I've had a positive experience. The programme has a strong practical focus—there's a real emphasis on case work, group projects, and applying theory to actual business situations rather than just memorising it. The international dimension is a highlight, with courses taught in English, a diverse student group, and opportunities for exchange and internships abroad. The professors are generally approachable and bring real-world business experience into the classroom, which makes the material more relevant. Campus facilities are modern and the support services are helpful. If I had to mention a downside, I'd recommend this programme to anyone looking for a hands-on, career-oriented business degree with a genuinely international outlook
