The bachelor's degree in economics and management is a first-cycle programme (a ‘transition’ bachelor's degree), consisting of 180 credits spread over three years (60 credits per year). It prepares students for a number of master's degree programmes in the second cycle.
This programme has been designed to provide students with the tools and disciplinary knowledge as well as the expertise and skills specific to both fields (economics and management), so that they can access the various master's degree programmes available to them later on (master's degree in economics or master's degree in management).
The economics and management programme offers a comprehensive range of courses which gives students a solid grounding in the disciplines of economics and management (microeconomics, macroeconomics, finance, production management, human resources management, etc.), as well as a command of quantitative methods (mathematics and statistics).
It also provides a general introduction to the humanities and social sciences (sociology, philosophy and political science), as well as high-quality language teaching. Language course units (English/Dutch) and an English course unit (Corporate finance) are an integral part of the unilingual programme. In addition, each year students have the opportunity to include course units provided by our partner, KU Leuven - Brussels Campus.
