Exchange programme | Media and Entertainment Business

Media and Entertainment Business is the most entrepreneurial media program in Flanders.  Surrounded with experts who have a background in the media entertainment industry, students are provided with the necessary skills to assess the viability of their media entertainment product: a good story (Mediatise), economic viability (Monetise) and a loyal public (Mobilise).

Students immerse themselves into the international media world and are trained to work with existing or new media products and repurpose/package them for a new international context.

Exchange students choose courses from two different levels: students in an associate's degree (level 5) or students in a bachelor's degree programme (level 6) and then from two various modules depending on when they wish to attend, either in the Fall or the Spring semester.
