Programmes organised in evening and weekend classesÂ
Many programmes at VUB can be combined with work and/or family, because the classes are held in the evening and/or weekend. This applies to all study programmes: bachelor’s, master’s, post-master’s, bridging programmes and preparatory programmes.
Model or tailored path
You don’t have to follow a bachelor’s or master’s programme full-time. You can also opt to spread the course load over a longer period, by going for 25 to 35 ECTS-credits per academic year instead of 60. To give you an idea: 1 ECTS-credit is equal to 25 to 30 hours of study time. You can discuss the subjects to take with your study path counselor.
Spread out your study over multiple academic years
Keep the work-life balance! Combining work and study sometimes calls for a different study scenario. Consult the spreading scenarios of our faculties and the Teacher Multidisciplinary Institute (MILO) will give you an idea:
- Languages and Humanities
- Psychology and Educational Sciences
- Law and Criminology
- Social Sciences and Solvay Business School
- Sciences and Bioengineering Sciences: Master of Science in Urban Development and Spatial Planning or Applied Computer Science
- MILO: General Educational Master
Just want to take a couple of subjects?
Would you like to take just one or a few subjects out of personal interest or as further training, rather than a full programme? This is possible too. In that case, you can go for a credit contract and get a credit certificate when you finish.
Do you already have a bachelor’s and or master’s diploma? These programmes are among your options too.
For civil servants
Can you, as a federal civil servant, use the promotion procedure to progress to level A? If so, you must pass 4 subjects in a master’s programme at a university or college. This is also possible at VUB.
