Admissions Information for the Brussels Program

Boston University offers students the opportunity to study toward the MA in International Relations at our satellite campus in Brussels, Belgium. For more information about the Brussels program, click here.

Applications for this program are evaluated by faculty at the main campus in Boston. Prospective students should apply directly to the Boston campus Admissions Office, as per the instructions in our How To Apply section.  Do not send any application materials to the Brussels campus; all materials should be sent to the Boston campus. Do not attempt to apply through the Metropolitan College or the Brussels campus website.

When applying online, students should be careful to choose the option for the International Relations MA in Brussels, not the International Relations Mid-Career MA (which is based at the Boston campus).

Applicants are encouraged to contact the staff in Brussels to introduce themselves and to discuss the program. Contact information for the Brussels program can be found here.

Any questions about academics, financial aid, or student visas should be directed to the Brussels Office.  Questions about the application process should be directed to the Boston staff.
