The BA in Global Business and Entrepreneurship has taught me leadership, critical thinking, and discipline. The open discussions in class have allowed me to express my thoughts and learn from the others. The Brussels School of Governance not only values theory but also a lot of practice which has pushed me to go beyond our syllabus and apply it in real life. If you are looking for an open-minded environment to analyze, reflect, and co-create solutions for a better future, this is the School you are looking for.

The programmes' emphasis in terms of their pedagogical approach (STEP) means that they put the support of each individual student at the centre of teaching and learning. Students are encouraged to take up an active role in their learning process and the relatively small size of the programmes also allows for good and often informal interactions between students and staff. (...) The panel praises how this student-centredness also extends to the academic guidance and student support offered by the programmes.
