The Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) is an alliance between the Institute for European Studies (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Vesalius College. For decades, both institutions have built up strong reputations as frontrunners in education, research, and academic services on the international scene.

Established in February 2021, the BSoG offers a truly unique education experience for students looking to complete their studies in law, economics and social/political sciences. We do so according to our STEP approach: our programmes are Student centered, have a solid Theoretical base, their educational Excellence is guaranteed, and they are strongly Practice oriented. It makes our School a prominent hub for the study of European and global governance, from the BA right up to the PhD level. The BSoG’s multidisciplinary research activities focus on some of the most urgent governance challenges confronting policy makers in Europe as well as elsewhere in the world in years to come.

In addition to the Bachelor and Master programmes listed below, the BSoG also offers a range of short and online programmes, such as a Summer and Winter School on EU Policy Making, a Postgraduate Certificate in EU Policy Making, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Global Risk Analysis and Crisis Management.
