As globalization brings a new light to Boston University’s educational mission, Metropolitan College & Extended Education shares the University’s objective to further develop and strengthen international education both locally and abroad. International Initiatives includes both BU Global and Boston University’s Brussels site.
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 to 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.
Brussels students enjoy opportunities for part-time learning, evening study, and collaboration with the world's best political and business minds—all as they explore the topics most relevant to their individual goals.
