Brussels campus

Studying in Europe’s capital

Home to professionals from around the world, Brussels is the perfect place to learn business

Stepping onto our Brussels campus is stepping into a vibrant, modern professional hub at the heart of the city’s business district. We’re based in Manhattan Tower, a landmark building that dominates the Brussels skyline. 

Home to our full-time MBA, Executive MBAMasters in Financial Management and Masters in International Management & Strategy, this campus is equipped with cutting-edge facilities and offers the very best learning, research and networking experiences. 

2016 Experience Vlerick Day

A modern hub for innovative thinking

Our recently refurbished campus boasts state-of-the-art facilities – including seven lecture rooms, one hybrid lecture room where we blend online and face-to-face learning, 28 breakout rooms and even a professional video studio. And when you need a quick break to recharge, the green oasis of Botanique Park is just a few moments’ walk away. 

The campus is a short walk from Brussels Noord train station and public transport routes – and is easily accessible by car.

Space to relax and recharge

Looking for somewhere to think? Or simply a place to unwind? Then head to the lounge. Read or catch up with friends in the sofa area, work on one of the foldable desks – or take a break with a game of shuffleboard or billiards. Whatever you get up to, this bright, colourful space will give you an immediate energy boost.

Refuel for fresh thinking

If you’re studying on one of our executive education programmes, you’ll enjoy lunch at our restaurant. And the V-Bar is open all day – for sandwiches and salads or a quick coffee break – and in the evening for special occasions. It’s a great place to catch up with friends and grow your network!
