Why study at the VUB?
Studying at VUB gives you more than a diploma. You learn to view the world with an open mind and without prejudice. You hone your critical thinking, and you learn to express your opinion. You commit not just to study, but to participate in meaningful social projects that make the world a better place. In short, this is where you shape your identity. Who you are today and want to be tomorrow.
Study on your own terms
Would you prefer the default track or a personal study path?
Your personal situation may make it harder for you to follow a full-time course of study. You may want to combine study with work, for example, or practise an elite sport. This needn't be an issue in itself, as the bachelor's isn't necessarily a full-time programme.
You can always opt to spread the studies over a longer term by taking 25 to 35 credits per academic year (for an idea - one credit equals 25 to 30 hours' study time). Which courses you take, you choose in consultation with your study path counselor. Need more info?
