Brussels School of Governance

Until recently, Brussels School of Governance was known as Vesalius College.

BSoG's teaching methods are characterised by small, interactive classes, flexibility in course selection, and continuous assessment. As a small college with a student body of approximately 300 and a low student-to-professor ratio, the faculty is accessible and able to take a personal interest in the success of students to help them achieve their potential. These close working relationships form the cornerstone of the BSoG educational philosophy. Our student population represents over 50 different nationalities.
As an American-style institution, the College takes a humanistic approach to intellectual inquiry, encouraging students to not only learn skills and knowledge important to their chosen careers, but to also think critically and develop themselves personally and as citizens of an increasingly multicultural and globalised world.

Situated in Brussels and home to a thriving international community, the college offers students a truly unique educational experience. Brussels has an important international vocation: as the European capital the city is home to the European Institutions, the NATO and numerous international organisations and multinational companies. Our students can benefit from this international setting in many ways; our Bachelor programmes have a strong European focus.

Brussels is the bilingual capital of Belgium and both French and Dutch are the official languages of the city. It is a cosmopolitan city where many different cultures live together and where different languages can be heard on each street. This liveliness and international flair is, of course, intimately related to its role as a crossroads for all of Europe.

Facilities:

Students at BSoG have access to extensive resources for research at three major libraries, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Université Libre de Bruxelles and The Royal Library, Belgium's national library. Together they provide students with access to over five million books. The College computer lab features both PCs and Apple computers as well as facilities for students with laptops to connect to the College’s computer network. Besides, Vesalius students have full access to the newly renovated and expanded gym and athletic facilities at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and can choose from over 20 sports.
