Successful businesspeople need more than brains that are fed with useful information, so we ensure that students are able to develop quality interpersonal relationships. Learning to manage social and personal skills and confronting the societal responsibilities inherent in a company are core elements of our programmes. The goal is to guide our students towards their professional fulfilment.

Educational Innovation at LSM : the Competency Framework


A compass as a multipurpose tool
This competency framework sets common core competencies expected from all graduates of Masters in Management (120 credits) and Masters in Business Engineering (120 credits), beyond the specific disciplines of these two programmes, and the options and paths selected, by the student. It defines the exit profile of all LSM graduates. It outlines the objectives to be reached by the LSM graduates at the end of his studies, the educators objectives in determining the study programme, and indicates the student’s learning programme.   www.lsmcompetencyframework.be
