Then our bachelor’s degree in International Business Management will be your cup of tea. This full three year bachelor programme is taught in English*.
The saying goes that the world is getting smaller. Developments in communication, IT, marketing ... flash before our eyes at an unpreceden-ted pace. The United States, China or India are just a mouse click away, that is nowadays our reality.
Employees with an internationally oriented mindset are eagerly sought after by employers: they have learned to be flexible, they can easily deal with changes, they have cross cultural competences … They also often possess excellent language skills.
In an internationally oriented environment, Belgian and international guest lecturers will be your guides and introduce you into the world of accounting, management, law, finance, marketing etc. You learn to develop a strong, in-depth and international perspective in order to start building an international career. Combine this with inter- national cases, study trips abroad … and you will see: you have the world at your feet! *All our lecturers have acquired the Certificate of Advanced English (CAE)
WHY IBM?• Personal coaching: every student enrols in
‘Talent & Management Development’, where you acquire a wide variety of skills necessary to succeed in student and business life.
• Small class groups for those subjects where the focus lies on the development of business skills and attitudes.
• Close cooperation with business life: in-company visits, guest lecturers, international case studies, lecturers with a broad experience acquired in business life … In short: theory comes to life.
• Completely taught in English.
• A unique intercultural and international student environment.
• You spend at least one semester of the third year abroad (internship and/or study experience).
• Employability skills eagerly sought after by employers.
• Practical international business cases.Kathy Dewitte Dean Bachelor of International Business Management

I would highly recommend this programme to anyone who wants to broaden his horizon and aims at an international career.
Of course I was a bit agitated the first day I arrived at campus Kantienberg in Ghent, Belgium. Luckily I wasn’t the only one. A group of people from all over the world gathered for the introduction days. Thanks to the contagious enthusiasm of the lecturers, we all felt at home almost immediately. There also are quite a lot of Belgian students in our group, which came in really handy for questions about local habits.
Very quickly we were immersed in a real-life international business environment: practice-oriented and in close relation with employers in the field of activity.
Ghent truly is an amazing city. Being situated only 30 minutes away from Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, the coast, France and the Netherlands, it’s the ideal starting point for discovering both Belgium and Europe. The city itself offers a fabulous blend of medieval heritage and trendy discoveries, not to mention the extended range of pubs which serve the best beers in the world.

Master’s programmesAt the Ghent University Association you can find many other bachelor’s, master’s and further courses related to your degree. This allows you, for example, to progress through a bridging programme to a master’s degree programme, such as a master’s in communica-tion studies.

Studying in GhentAccording to statistics, Ghent has the biggest student population in Flanders, but we simply reckon that Ghent is the coolest city in the world!
Culture, going out or sports: there are opportunities, whether you are in student accommodation or commuting daily. Ghent is easy to reach by train, tram and bus. On top of that, it’s a great city for cycling.
The nice thing about Ghent is that it is much more than a university town. Artevelde’s city is buzzing throughout the year. There are not only the legendary Ghent Parties - people can also spend every Thursday evening in the Overpoortstraat, into the wee small hours. And we haven’t even mentioned the many city parks, museums, restau-rants, pubs, streets and squares yet ...
Student accommodation or not?Around the city you can find various kinds of student rooms, from large to small and from budget models to places that are a bit more pricey.
