Dutch-speaking students can also choose: Bedrijfskunde, Commerciële Economie, Finance & Control, Human Resource Management, or Ondernemerschap & Retail Management. Experience a full year of higher professional education, earn your propaedeutic degree, and receive guidance in choosing the right degree programme.
