Vlerick Business School

Vlerick Business School is a triple-accredited, international business school at the heart of Europe – ranked number one in the Benelux for executive education and #19 in Europe. We have specific expertise in Digital Transformation, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Healthcare, Energy and Financial Services. Apart from our close ties to KU Leuven and Ghent University – and our strategic alliances with Peking University and University of Stellenbosch Business School – we’re constantly building our network of corporate partners across the world.

Vlerick is a highly ranked business school

Our rankings in authoritative listings confirm our position as a top-level European business school. Even though such rankings are important, they are not a priority for us at Vlerick. We have our own vision on business education and our own evaluation and improvement structures. Our goal is to lead rather than follow the process of innovation.
