University of Antwerp

The University of Antwerp is a young, dynamic and forward-thinking university. It integrates the assets of its historical roots with its ambition to contribute positively to society.

The University of Antwerp is an international university, with students from all over the world. Around 19% of our students are international students, representing 116 nationalities. All embedded in an exciting urban environment: Antwerp was recently picked by the Financial Times as one of the 10 growth cities in the world for economic potential.

The University of Antwerp is a firm believer in student-centred learning. We start from the premise that all students have the desire to learn and increase their knowledge. Our study programmes are designed to support and activate this desire. Studying means taking responsibility and making a commitment, but it is also a social process where you learn from others, both from lecturers and classmates. We focus on competence-oriented education. These competences include specific skills and attitudes, in addition to knowledge and insight.

The Faculty of Business and Economics has AACSB, EQUIS and EPAS accreditations, both hallmarks for excellence in business education. And: The Financial Times ranked the University of Antwerp in the best Masters in Management ranking, where it received first place in terms of 'value for money'.
