Business engineers use technology to help companies navigate constant industry change. Beyond understanding business, they create analytical tools, making them indispensable experts with a strong scientific foundation in any organisation facing transformation.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Engineering in Brussels is a joint English-taught programme organised by the Faculty of Economics and Business of KU Leuven and the Faculty of Economics, Social and Political Sciences and Communication of UCLouvain Saint-Louis – Bruxelles. Both institutions are situated in the heart of the city, near Brussels Central Station. Students will attend courses and take exams at both institutions and obtain a joint degree.
Companies and organizations today operate in a highly complex and interconnected world, where they must navigate rapid technological changes, global competition, and evolving consumer expectations. To thrive in this environment, they make critical decisions that affect every aspect of their operations, from financial planning to marketing strategies, production efficiency and human resource management.
Through the multidisciplinary programme, the Business Engineering programme equips students with the skills and knowledge to understand and optimize these decisions. The programme includes a thorough study of all major business domains such as finance, accounting, marketing, logistics and human resources, as well as the economic, legal and social landscape in which businesses operate. Additionally, the programme emphasizes the development of strong analytical skills. Students learn how to use data analysis, mathematical modeling and IT tools to make informed decisions, optimize business processes, predict outcomes and assess risks.
Since analytical skills are a core part of the Business Engineering programme, students are expected to come with a solid background in mathematics. To encourage familiarity with today’s polyglot business environment, they will also need to anticipate working in multiple languages.
This programme is also available in Dutch.
