Unique in Belgium
- The Postgraduate In African Business Studies (PABS) is the first of its kind in Belgium and Europe.
- The Postgraduate is specifically developed to maximise professionals' knowledge of business on the African continent.
- In collaboration with African embassies in Brussels and first-class regional universities, the PABS programme offers a quality curriculum in African Business for graduate students and future managers pursuing a successful business career in Africa, Europe and the world at large.
- This programme has a unique global perspective as well as a regional focus. It was designed to face the growing demand for world-class professionals to manage relations between Africa and the rest of the world in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, and cross-cultural management.
- Through the PABS programme, you will benefit from a combination of in-depth global and Africa-specific business knowledge, setting yourself apart in the competitive global marketplace.
- The experience will also result in lasting friendships and access to a broad international network of ambitious professionals who, like you, care about making a difference in the world.
