Bachelor of Business Engineering (Brussels et al) KU Leuven

KU Leuven Online Open Day



KU Leuven is organizing an online open day on Wednesday 1 December 2021 to inform students about its English-language programs. Discover Europe’s most innovative university and learn more about our international programs, admissions, housing, and much more. For more information, visit.

Throughout the Bachelor of Science in Business Engineering (Brussels) you:

• acquire the necessary skills to solve challenging business problems in an analytical way using a multi-disciplinary approach;
• gain considerable insight into the specific challenges corporate life is facing.

You are set for a promising (international) career thanks to your current insights in the combination of business economics, quantitative methods and technology, your management capabilities, and your language skills.

More specifically, in the Business Engineering program, you will focus on managing and optimizing business processes. You will become acquainted with business economics as well as the different functional domains in companies (e.g. accountancy, financial management, marketing, production and logistics, human resources management). You will learn how a company operates on a daily basis and how its processes are organized.

Designing business processes is often at the core of the business engineer’s activities, e.g. in companies looking to launch a new production process, optimize it or make their service process run more efficiently. In doing so, you will pay attention to human behavior and the social phenomena that determine the way we think and act. As you need to know how the economic world surrounding the organization works, you will learn about important economic concepts and methods through economic analysis. Topics dealing with law and tax regulations are also a crucial part of the program, seeing they can have a major impact on business.

In addition to advancing your managerial skills, you will also sharpen your analytical skills. You will master the necessary mathematical and statistical techniques to analyze business problems and work out optimal solutions (e.g. staff planning, organization of a production process, sales predictions for the next quarter, measuring the impact of an advertising campaign).

Considering information is more important than ever, you will also acquire a solid background in ICT skills and information management. As a business engineer, you need to know how companies can manage and analyze information. After an introduction to natural and applied sciences, you will understand critical technological processes and are able to assess the impact of innovation on companies, their environment, and sustainability.
