We have specific expertise in Digital Transformation, 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 University of Stellenbosch Business School – we’re constantly building our network of corporate partners across the world.

More than anything else we are a place of transformation where people and organisations 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.

The Location

Our campuses in the centre of Brussels, Ghent and Leuven are designed to provide a unique and stimulating environment for students, academics, entrepreneurs and executives. Combining high-tech infrastructure and historic architecture in the heart of some of Europe’s most vibrant cities, Vlerick Business School campuses are places where people with highly diverse ambitions and backgrounds come together to exchange new ideas, develop new insights and launch new practical ventures.

Rankings

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.
