The four universities of the Louvain Academy (UCL, FUNDP, FUCaM and FUSL) have created a school of management, the Louvain School of Management. It is the largest school of management in Belgium with over 1,200 students and more than 200 lecturers. Alongside the International Executive MBA and the doctoral school programmes, the Louvain School of Management organizes different joint Masters in Management Science programmes in each of the partner universities. UCL provides the Master in Business Engineering (120), the Master in Management Science (120), the Master in Management (60) over a year, available as a day course and on a part-time basis over two years.

The Master in Management (60), spread over two years, is mainly designed for university graduates who already have a Master (in any subject e.g. science, applied sciences, law, philosophy, literature or industrial engineering) who wish to acquire additional training in administration and management. It is intended for adults who have already gained professional experience.
The two year part-time study programme covers the basic elements of management. It is designed to provide students with knowledge of the main areas of management and to develop their skills in dealing with management problems, using appropriate techniques to solve them, taking correct decisions and being able to put all of this into the economic, social and institutional context of organizations.

The evening class programme is spread over two years (30 credits per year). The courses are organized on a two year rotation (some are held in even years, the others in odd years). In addition to the introductory courses on the main disciplines which make up management science, the programme includes two individual papers which form the dissertation, training in the principles and issues involved in corporate social responsibility and the opportunity for more advanced study of an area of management through an optional subject.

Programme

This programme may lead on to the 120 credit Master in Management Science with either a professional or a research focus.

General admission requirements

The evening programme is designed to enable people working in a professional capacity to join the programme on favourable terms : spread of workload, part-time schedule, adult participants able to draw on previous experience and professional projects. Priority on this 60 credit evening Master is therefore given to holders of second cycle university degrees or similar (e.g. industrial engineers) who can provide evidence of a minimum of three years’ professional experience.

Application files should be submitted by 30 April for non-European students, 30 August for European students and 15 September for Belgian students.

If, following examination of the application file, there is no evidence of three years of professional experience, candidates may be redirected to the 60 credit Master day course or perhaps even the 120 credit Master in Management Science or Business Engineering.

The programme alternates between explanations of theory and case studies to enable students to gain practical understanding of management issues.

This programme has, for many years, attracted a significant proportion of international students (+/- 30 % ) who have already gained a first university degree in their home country and who wish to have additional training in management.
