Year 2 provides a seamless route to the MBA top-up, delivered in collaboration with WINC, leading to the degree being awarded by the University of Greater Manchester (UK)*. Alongside the top-up, Brussels College enhances your experience with local electives, workshops and optional internships in Brussels.
