Description:

The Business Administration programme prepares you to solve complex business problems and develops your understanding of the challenges firms face in an interconnected and digitalized world. It is a well-rounded programme covering all management domains. In all stages, you will develop your entrepreneurial, cross-cultural and language skills.

About the programmme:

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration prepares you to find your way in an increasingly complex business environment. Globalisation has extended markets far beyond national borders and technology keeps global commerce moving 24 hours a day. Some products and services become increasingly complex, while others are becoming obsolete. Consumers demand prompt and customized service at the best price. Businesses require complex networks of distribution. These are just some examples of the issues you will address as a student in the Business Administration programme.

The three year programme is both hands-on and academic. It follows a practice-as-orientation and science-as-foundation approach. Business Administrators are managers who can take informed strategic decisions in response to economic challenges and opportunities.

The programme is taught in English and has a strong international focus. Our students participate in exchange programmes with numerous partners both within and outside Europe. Selected students can pursue a double degree with Kedge Business School (Marseille). This double degree takes four years of study: 4 semesters in Brussels and 4 semesters at Marseille.

Mathematics: essential in the Bachelor of Business Administration

Today’s managers often use mathematical models to describe reality in a logical way. The language of mathematics provides powerful tools to define and explore such models. Moreover, by learning this language, you will develop skills like recognizing structure and systematic problem-solving. Your mathematics knowledge will be applied in courses like statistics, finance and econometrics.

Learn what prior knowledge is required and how we can help you to become successful in mathematics.

Programme Structure:

The Bachelor of Business Administration programme is structured along five domains:

  • Management of Business Domains

  • Economic Analysis and International Orientation

  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Professional Skills and Employability

  • Mathematical and Statistical Techniques - Research skills

  • Behaviour, Society and Law

You are taught by researchers as well as business managers. In each of the three stages (years) you work on a management project to develop the management and communication skills that are important to business professionals.

Duration: 3 years (full-time), 180 ECTS

EEA nationals and Non-EEA nationals who reside in Belgium under a valid residence permit can follow less than 60 ECTS per academic year and accordingly spread their studies in several years. This possibility needs to be discussed with a study career consultant. Note that there are no part-time, evening or weekend courses organized for this category of students.
