During the information day, sessions will be held on the following English-language programmes:
- Bachelor in business economics
- Bachelor in social sciences
- Multilingual master of arts in linguistics and literary studies
- and the new multilingual bachelor of arts in linguistics and literary studies
New programmes
VUB will also start two new programmes next academic year: the first bachelor of artificial intelligence in Belgium and the multilingual bachelor of linguistics and literary studies. In the latter, students choose two to four languages from a total of seven.

In addition, the day offers students an excellent opportunity to take a look around the dorms. It’s also a chance to find extensive information on the courses and bridging programmes or to take a test in chemistry, physics or maths.
