BSoG launches new Certificate Programme on EU Public Procurement

In partnership with Lexxion Publisher, the Brussels School of Governance is proud to announce the launch of a new programme in the field of EU Public Procurement, offering a strong blend of theory and practice, including an optional internship. This postgraduate certificate is aimed at professionals and part-time students and allows participants to gather specialised knowledge in the field of public procurement – a growing sector in which €2 trillion are spent annually in Europe. The programme distinctly focuses on the European dimension of public procurement, as EU-level rules are an international benchmark and determine the process by which national authorities purchase goods, work and services from the private sector. The programme starts in October 2022 and its degree is awarded by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Students can choose between the 20 and 30 ECTS option and can take the programme either in one or two years. In addition, they have the flexibility to attend in person or online. The application deadline is 31 August.
