In the Trade Mission course, as a VUB student, you represent a Belgian company or organisation abroad. Prior to this, you'll engage in convincing companies to sponsor your endeavor of conducting a business task across borders.
Internships
The Business & Technology programme has connections with multinational companies such as Coca-Cola, IBM, Daikin, BNP Paribas, KPMG and PwC.

You will have the opportunity to participate in practical projects abroad, ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months. These projects could include international advisory/consultancy projects with students from other universities, as well as international team assignments supporting entrepreneurs or projects abroad.
