Combining Management with your job?
The Management programme is only offered in evening classes:
- Preparatory programme (21 or 27 ECTS depending on your previous education)
- Master (60 ECTS)
The lecturers teach the course units via blended learning and with adapted work formats. This allows you to combine your studies with your work or family. Are you good at self-study? Then this is definitely a must! At the end, you will receive exactly the same diploma as students who followed daytime education.
Studying is an investment of time and money. And quite a challenge if you want to combine studies with a job. That is why it is important to find out which course is feasible for you, both in terms of time and money. This way, you will be well-prepared for your new adventure and maximise your chances of obtaining a diploma.
Do you have the time to follow your study pathway?
Can you finance your study programme?
Support measures (time, finance) if you ...
... work in the private sector
You are entitled to paid educational leave (Brussels) or Flemish training leave (Flanders). This allows you to follow an approved training course while continuing to receive payment. Time Credit with a motive allows you to temporarily reduce or suspend your working hours while in receipt of benefits.
Would you like to enrol as a work student?
TIP: prefer to take fewer courses?
Would you like to take one or more individual courses, through personal interest or to further your education, rather than the entire programme? This is entirely possible. You opt for a credit contract and earn a credit certificate afterwards.
About lifelong learning
Why continue studying alongside your job?
For the professional, a degree does more than launch you into the labour market with a good education. In your future profession you may choose to continue your studies because you want to send your career in a new direction, brush up on your knowledge and skills or pursue a long-held dream. A smart move, because it maintains your professional relevance on tomorrow's labour market. In short, lifelong learning is not a myth, but keeps you sustainably employable in today's society, a commitment that shows your investment in a better world!
Why, as a professional, choose a course of study at VUB?
For many reasons. We, for example, were one of the first universities to invest fully in lifelong learning. Nowhere else in Belgium will you find as as wide a range of job-compatible programmes:
- basic evening class courses
- postgraduate courses
- permanent training courses
- miro-credentials
- Study days and lectures
We want to maximise all our students' chances of success. And that means yours. By providing a personalised study pathway and study support through every phase of your career.
