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!

High quality of education and great atmosphere

As someone who is about to graduate I look back on my time at UCLL and feel very grateful! The studies challenge us in different ways, the professors are known for their impressive careers before they started lecturing and the international experience is eye-opening. I would recommend the international business management and marketing course if you're open to meet new people and grow in more ways that just learning about business.

Studies investment

Following the Advanced bachelor of bioinformatics in Howest Hogeschool, I have to say that is a really well structured program that targets to bridge the gap between theory and working environment and give you the necessary supplies to build up your future ! Professors are are really approachable and willing to help you.

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.
