Overview

International Business from KU Leuven is organized in the 1st semester of the academic year.

If your academic degree does not guarantee direct admission to the Master of International Business, you will be asked to follow a preparatory programme of max. 21 (track 1)/27 (track 2) ECTS.

Where do our students go after graduating?

After the preparatory programme, you will receive a certificate of completion and be admitted to the master's programme. More information on future opportunities after this programme can be found on the Master of International Business programme page.
