Since renowned academic, entrepreneur and politician André Vlerick founded our school in 1953, Vlerick has grown into an independent, international and inclusive institution. We have strong roots with our parent universities, Ghent University and KU Leuven - and we are a statutory registered institution, recognised by the state. But we also have our own reputation for excellence, innovation and entrepreneurship.
As a Business School in the heart of Europe, we consistently rank among Europe’s best business schools. We’re also part of a select group of business schools worldwide that are triple accredited.
We belong to a select group of 1% of business schools worldwide that are accredited by the three major international bodies that assess management education quality: EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. This triple accreditation recognises our commitment to setting the very highest standards in both management education and research. And Vlerick has been a triple crown school for 20 years on end!
Ever since our first appearance in the leading management education rankings, we have been ranked among Europe’s best business schools. However our rankings are only relevant if they are the result of strategic improvements. Our goal is to lead, rather than follow, the process of innovation.
