VUB student life

Curious about what the rest of your study time has in store for you in terms of amusement? This video summarises VUB student life in 4 minutes.

Kick Off the Campus

We make a point of ensuring that each new academic year gets off to a good start. In September or October, we get off to a flying start with Kick Off the Campus, the fun launch of the academic year, with food and drink stalls, challenging activities and thumping beats.

Discover the student life 

Your student life is more than just studying, contact with your fellow students is also important. Students who experience a good connection with the educational institution and their fellow students are twice as likely to develop emotional problems and often perform better.
