Belgium is nicer as it might seem at the first sight. Many places to go and see - especially Westhoek natural reservation in De Panne and town of Dinant.

International student body, scarse learning experience
Peter M
Austria, Undergraduate
, 2024
Overall
The Business Management Bachelor attracts international students, which is great. They are all dedicated (in contrast to many local students) and some facilities are great, so is the housing. However, the teachers are subpar, partially really hard to understand English, very dated teaching approach. We learn amongst ourselves, recorded lecturers, tutors. The exam period is during a couple of weeks after the winter holidays and very badly organised. We were confused and intimidated by the professors beforehand, during the exams they did not manage to deal with the number of students, it was loud and confusing, hard to focus. Passing grade in some subjects was 15%. All together, really nice to have such international and dedicated students around you, but we are all very frustrated with the program.

Careers
Internships are offered during the third year, however the program is rather theoretical, no practical perspectives or considerations.
