Entrepreneurship was at the heart of this institution founded by Professor Vlerick over 50 years ago.

Programme Description Part-time MBA (spread over 2 years)
The Part-time MBA Programme enables you to earn an MBA degree while you continue to work full-time. New (first-year) programme participants join a group of participants who have already completed one year of the programme and are in their second year. The programme runs from early September to early July for two years. There are nine hours of class each week, which are spread over two days. At the start of each year, you first go through a series of introductory courses, which are designed to refresh or introduce the basic knowledge required to effectively follow the core module. After that, each year really kicks off with a two-day opening seminar on social and interaction skills or industrial and organisational psychology.
The core module addresses the full range of management disciplines, divided over the two years. Classes alternate with various exercises and games throughout the programme, and in the first year there is a one-week study trip abroad. At regular intervals, you are assessed through a mix of exams, papers, case discussions and presentations.
The programme culminates with the in-company project, in which you tackle a business issue within your own company by integrating and applying what you have learned during the programme. At the end of your journey, you receive a well-deserved MBA degree from Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School.
