Master of Arts in Management and Business Engineering
The four Universities of the ‘Louvain’ Academy (UCL, FUNDP, FUCaM
and FUSL) have jointly set up the ‘Louvain School of Management’. This
is one of the largest schools of management in Belgium with almost 2500
students and 250 members of academic and scientific staff. In addition
to executive education programmes, namely an International Executive
MBA in association with ICHEC Brussels Management School, and a
doctoral programme, the Louvain School of Management delivers master's
degrees (120 credits) in Management (MSG) and in Business engineering
(MIG). Strongly rooted in business life, these masters allow students
to taylor their programme through a wide choice of specialisation
modules, some of which are taught entirely in English.
Programme structure
The programme includes 90 credits of common core curriculum (20
thesis credits, 60 course credits, and 10 credits for an internship)
and 30 credits of specialised courses structured in modules of 15
credits.

Mobility and international openness
The organisation of the curriculum stimulates students to follow a
part of their programme in another institution within the LSM.
Students can spend the first semester of the second Master's year
abroad, generally in the framework of one of the numerous
interuniversity exchange programmes (Erasmus or other) or in a company,
through an internship (in Belgium or abroad).
The network of relations between the university and various
institutions and businesses abroad allows a wide range of visits and
internships to be proposed and courses to be taught by foreign visiting
professors.
The specialisations, particularly those taught in English, have also
been designed to attract foreign students, especially into areas that
are not widely covered elsewhere in Europe.
