Vlerick Management School

Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School has deep academic roots. Founded by professor André baron Vlerick in 1953 and the Autonomous Management School of Ghent University and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, it offers a unique reservoir of knowledge.

The school benefits from the amassed knowledge of the two biggest Belgian universities, both older than Belgium itself, each having a strong reputation in fundamental research. In order to respond adequately to your evolving management needs, crucial access to the latest research is available; not only to the research conducted by the school, but also to the research of others. Our close connections with the international corporate world lead to practice-based research in cooperation with numerous companies and organisations.

The school is the only Belgian school to hold triple accreditation: from EQUIS, AMBA and the American AACSB label. This makes the school one of the 20 business schools in the world to hold triple accreditation.

The school offers an International MBA programme and numerous training programmes for company executives, and has literally thousands of graduates successfully operating at top management levels in the manufacturing industry, in consultancy, in services and in the public sector in over 70 countries.
