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!

Nothing to show

We need more Traineeship

University of Mons is one of the big universities in Belgium. We have more guidance than the other universities. The study program is adapted to each student. The student life is interested because there are many campuses in Mons.

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.
