Take your studies beyond the horizon with an internship either abroad or within an international organisation, institution or agency. Choose between a wide range of internship positions both in Belgium and across the globe. 

For ‘Branding & Activation’ majors, your internship will run from February to June, with the option of adding a Summer Internship after your first or second year. 

Count on expert coaching from your lecturers who are themselves experienced experts in their field. But that’s not all. They are aware of the challenges you face and therefore provide you with tools to sharpen your focus. They train you to rise to the occasion and perform under pressure. And, they challenge you to reflect on your professional goals so you, and only you, choose where and how you want to create an impact.
