“ I always looked up to successful managers who showed great passion about their work. Studying International Business Management seemed the best deal for me, because I could learn Chinese and would get the opportunity to spend a whole year abroad. I wanted to obtain a general view of the different departments in an international organisation. Furthermore, I hoped for a first working experience in the USA. Thanks to the practically oriented programme I succeeded in both ambitions. I even was the very first bachelor student ever to do an internship at Flanders Investment & Trade San Francisco, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCES
I definitely appreciated the consistent international focus of the various courses. You learn about doing business with people of different cultures in an international context and you really get the chance to experience it yourself. My advice to new students? Don't be afraid to be ambitious. Open yourself to new challenges. But, most of all, enjoy it!”
Don't be afraid to be ambitious. Open yourself to new challenges

“ What I like the most about the programme? Definitely the fact that we are taught such a variety of topics, allowing everyone to find something to be passionate about. If you have curiosity, motivation, problem solving abilities and a positive attitude, then International Business Management will be perfect for you! And otherwise you can always acquire those qualities with the help of your peers and lecturers.
DOUBLE DEGREE IN CANADA
My ambition for next year is to pursue a double degree in Business Administration from BCIT, a Canadian partner institution of Artevelde University of Applied Sciences. If I do not receive a place, I plan to stay in Belgium, since I already have a job offer from my internship company. In that case I would also start a master's degree in Ghent or Brussels.”
