Transform your confidence levels with an MBA from Vlerick

You learn the language of business

The programme touches on every area of business, giving you a thorough grounding in the fundamentals. You learn about balance sheets – so you can sit down with your organisation’s finance team and discuss the numbers. You discover how to create a strategy – so you can contribute to big-picture conversations about the direction of the business. And you become familiar with the words and phrases you need to have confident conversations with colleagues in all departments – and at all levels.

You feel comfortable taking the lead

As well as developing your business knowledge, your MBA pushes your softer skills to the next level too. Leadership development is embedded throughout our programmes. Through leadership modules, individual coaching and group feedback sessions, you discover your personal leadership style, your strengths – and areas you need to build on. And you have opportunities to test your leadership skills and enhance them. So you can feel confident in your role as a leader – and know that you can have a positive impact in your team and organisation.

You gain experience working in diverse teams

Organisations often work across borders – or have operations that span countries. And in the age of hybrid and remote working, teams are increasingly made up of people from all over the world. Diverse teams offer diverse perspectives that can be hugely valuable to a business. But they also bring together different ways of working – and navigating these can be challenging.

At Vlerick, we pride ourselves on our international community. We welcome MBA participants from across the globe – and from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. This means that when you take part in group work and projects, you’re learning to work with people with different ideas, methods and frames of reference. So if you find yourself in a diverse team in the future, you’ll have experiences to draw on and best practice to follow.

You test your skills in real-world situations

Learning theories, frameworks and methodologies is just one part of your executive education. It’s when you put them into practice that you can really see where your strengths lie – and how far you’ve come.

Action-based learning is a cornerstone of our MBA programmes. You test your knowledge on real business cases and participate in group projects. And of course, there is the consultancy project – where you take on a strategic challenge for a real organisation. All of these opportunities allow you to put your new knowledge and skills into action – so you can be confident in them when you return to your career.

You prepare to take your leap

You join an MBA programme because you want to make a change in your career – whether that’s achieving promotion, moving into a new role, launching a venture or trying something completely different.

But planning a change and making it happen are two different things – and stepping out of a familiar role or organisation can be daunting. That’s where your MBA comes in. It helps you to become assured in your skillset and it gives you the mindset you need to succeed. So when it comes to taking the leap, you have the confidence to go for it.
