Bachelor of Business Engineering (Brussels, joint with UCLouvain Saint-Louis)

Program Overview

About the programme The Bachelor of Science in Business Engineering in Brussels is a joint English-taught programme organised by the Faculty of Economics and Business of KU Leuven and the Faculty of Economics, Social and Political Sciences and Communication of the UCLouvain Saint-Louis – Bruxelles. Both institutions are situated in the heart of the city, near Brussels Central Station. Students will attend courses and take exams at both institutions and obtain a joint degree. Companies and organizations today operate in a highly complex and interconnected world, where they must navigate rapid technological changes, global competition, and evolving consumer expectations. To thrive in this environment, they make critical decisions that affect every aspect of their operations, from financial planning to marketing strategies, production efficiency and human resource management. The Business Engineering programme equips students with the skills and knowledge to understand and optimize these decisions. The approach is multidisciplinary and includes a thorough study of all major business domains such as finance, accounting, marketing, logistics and human resources, as well as the economic, legal and social landscape in which businesses operate. Additionally, the programme emphasizes the development of strong analytical skills. Students learn how to use data analysis, mathematical modeling and IT tools to make informed decisions, optimize business processes, predict outcomes and assess risks. Since analytical skills are a core part of the Business Engineering programme, students are expected to come with a solid background in mathematics. They will also need to anticipate working in multiple languages, a natural extension of living and studying in multi-lingual Belgium and Brussels. Students refine their abilities in English through courses and workshops whilst studying at least one other language to encourage familiarity with today’s polyglot business environment. Student profile If you would like to: gain insight into the roles various business domains play in organisations and into the economic world surrounding organisations, master the necessary mathematical and statistical techniques to analyse and solve business problems, acquire a solid background in ICT and information management, and if you are also fascinated by the international and intercultural dimensions of business, then this programme is a great fit.
