[EduCativ]

Vlerick Business School is the oldest business and management school in Europe. Founded in 1953 by the renowned academic, entrepreneur, and politician, Professor André Vlerick. Vlerick Business School has been leading innovation in business for well over half a century. As the management school of Belgium's two largest universities – Ghent University and KU Leuven – the School has built a solid, worldwide reputation as a leading, independent institution with a strong international focus and close ties to academic and corporate worlds.
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 17 in Europe. Each year we welcome 740 MBA and Masters students from 50 countries onto our world-class programs in Brussels, Ghent, Leuven, and Beijing. More than 8,500 executives from across the globe join our executive education and customized programs. We have specific Digital Transformation expertise, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Healthcare, Energy, and Financial Services. Our 22,000 alumni are active in businesses in more than 100 countries. Apart from our close ties to KU Leuven and Ghent University – and our strategic alliances with Peking University and the University of Stellenbosch Business School – we are continually building our corporate partners' network across the world.
More than anything else, we are a place of transformation where people and organizations come to challenge themselves, the status quo, and the changing world around us. They leave us with the knowledge, experience, and positive attitude needed to make a difference and build a better world. They are inspired by our unique Vlerick spirit: passion, openness, vitality, and entrepreneurship. It flows through everything we do, and it defines the collaborative and impactful learning experience we offer. Our 50 expert international faculty do not only draw on the latest business theories. They encourage our students to turn that knowledge into action via role plays, assignments, case studies, coaching, and study trips that will also take them beyond the classroom, learning online wherever they are in the world. Live it, learn it.
We strive to be perceived as the leading business school in the heart of Europe, clearly recognized for an education which: is academically sound, fosters an international mind-set, addresses leading-edge managerial issues, and develops an entrepreneurial attitude.
We are an outward-facing School boasting world-class quality and global recognition. Our faculty comprises some of the world's most renowned experts in their field with close ties to local and multinational concerns around Europe and the rest of the world. Our students and alumni's body is equally international, enriching the learning experience with a diverse mix of cultures, backgrounds, and outlooks.
A passion for innovation and enterprise drives us. From our world-class education programs to our ground-breaking research projects and trendsetting corporate partnerships, everything we do at Vlerick Business School is done with drive, enthusiasm, and energy.
