My story at the Faculty of Economics and Business, KU Leuven

“I applied for the Master in International Business Economics and Management (MIBEM) programme after obtaining a MSc degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology from KU Leuven. I wanted to continue my academic journey at the same university because I was impressed by KU Leuven’s quality, its approach to student research, and the beauty of Belgian culture. So far, I have loved every minute of my new programme and I believe it was the best decision – both professionally and personally.”

“MIBEM is specifically tailored to students with a non-economic backgrounds. I meet people from all around the world and with a wide range of academic experience – from psychology to architecture and chemical engineering. Such diversity creates a truly rich student community, both academically and culturally.”

“The Faculty of Economics and Business offers much more than classes. Apart from numerous job fairs and workshops, guest lectures and discussions, it also has many student organizations covering an wide range of interests and providing professional experience in the field.” “Its Brussels campus is located in the heart of Belgium, the capital city, which is filled with beautiful architecture and vivid events. There is always something going on and it offers great opportunities to experience Belgian everyday lifestyle, to visit charming places, museums and galleries, and to travel. Whether you are interested in art and architecture or sports and nature, there are plenty of new activities and places to discover.”

“Unlike many of my classmates, who live in Brussels, I have decided to stay in Leuven in the accommodation where I have spent my previous study years. The daily commute by train to the faculty in Brussels is pleasant due to the train connections and student discounts. Plus, I can still enjoy the cosiness of the small university town of Leuven and its student life atmosphere.”

“I highly recommend to students from all backgrounds to apply for the MIBEM programme because, apart from valuable education I also offers an unforgettable international student experience.”
