Since its creation in 1954 ICHEC Brussels Management School has always sought to awaken talent.
To this end, we believe that our school’s international dimension greatly benefits our students.

The Master in International Business and Management

  • allows real time for international and European specialization
  • offers international exchanges and internships

 

This program exists in the “ICHEC-UCL-ULB triple degree" version: you take classes at ICHEC, at Université catholique de Louvain and at Université libre de Bruxelles, and get the stamps of the 3 universities on your diploma.

 

The Master in International Business and Management is open to any Belgian or foreign student in possession of a university Bachelor or equivalent degree in economics, management or a related field. With an emphasis on the international aspects of business, this Master forms an integral part of ICHEC’s goal of becoming an international campus amid the multicultural setting of Brussels.

Our highly skilled staff of professionals and academics will provide you with a deep understanding of all major international business-related topics. In addition, the programme will challenge you to apply your theoretical knowledge to real business situations, primarily through your participation in business games, teamwork activities, thesis writing, etc.

This Master is also available in french
