The Department of Business Studies offers a one semester programme for exchange students (Semester I, from September until January).

 

Students can take up courses in our European Business Studies Programme or they can follow a number of courses at the master level. All courses are taught in English.

 

Since July 2009, exchange students have been keeping a blog about their experiences and stay in Antwerp, Belgium. The Erasmusblog can be visited on http://www.lessius.eu/hwblog/incomingstudents.aspx

 

'The Erasmus exchange gave me a possibility to meet new people from almost all over the world, visit new places and get to know a different culture. I am very happy that I decided to study here.'
