About this discipline
Elon Musk (Tesla), Steve Jobs (Apple), Marc Zuckerberg (Facebook),… they are or were all leaders of large companies. But also Vincent Kompany, Kim Kardashian, Niels Destadsbader,… are not just celebrities, but entrepreneurs. They have their own products, their own brands and their own companies. Even your hairdresser or the baker around the corner are people who once started their own business with wild and/or original ideas. Maybe even to conquer the world. Business and Organisation – option business management is your choice. You will learn how to start a business, how to market your product, how to keep the accounts correctly and what marketing is. The world does not only need entrepreneurs. Someone has to make the products go around the world. Someone like you, with a talent for organisation. You draw up plans to get that coffee from Ethiopia, those kiwis from New Zealand and those bananas from Colombia into the local supermarket. You make sure that the new shipment of iPhones arrives at Mediamarkt without a hitch. You make the world so much smaller! Business and Organisation – option logistics management is for you. Logical after all! You’ll need to choose between the options of business management or logistics management in the fourth year. In the third year, you can try ou both courses.

STUDENT PROFILE
Thinking and dreaming is nice, but you are a doer who makes decisions. You like to put the theory you learn into practice. Business and Organisation offers a broad theoretical basis: from accounting to sales communication, from economics to practical trilingualism. With all of this knowledge, you are ready to show your worth during corporate internships. In all of this, you like to keep an eye on the ‘pennies’ – income and expenses must add up!
Business and organisation is a dubbele finaliteit course. After the third degree, you can continue studying at college or university (e.g. a bachelor’s degree in logistics management or international business) or start working immediately.
