Boston University in Brussels
Boston University’s graduate program in Brussels is at the center of political and social change, while being linked to global finance and industry. As home to the European Union (EU), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and hundreds of multinational corporations and international organizations, Brussels is the ideal location for the student wishing to pursue studies in international relations, leadership, and business.
Boston University in Brussels programs are taught entirely in English and follow the American style of education. Accomplished faculty, with expertise in global business and government, stress a hands-on, pragmatic approach to learning—providing skills and knowledge that students can apply to their careers immediately.
