VUB campus
The city campus of VUB provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Brussels has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. VUB regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
After graduation, students are allowed to stay in Belgium for a year. During this time, graduates can find a job and change their student visa to a work one. VUB graduates find jobs quickly, partly because the university has a good reputation among employers according to the QS World University Rankings. Look for more immigration options in our article.
