African Business Studies
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.
Theory meets practice
You will visit companies, interact with top executives and gain professional exposure. You will also learn firsthand about the latest business issues and solutions. Training workshops will help improve your entrepreneurship skills, develop your own business, problem solving, analytical decision making and presentation skills to boost your competitiveness.
