Vesalius College’s Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs equips students with the broad-ranging tools and skills to understand, analyse and assess the most pressing issues in national and global politics.

The interdisciplinary curriculum is built on the disciplines of politics, economics, law and history and enables students to understand the complex dynamics, core debates, processes, institutions and major challenges of European and International Affairs. 
Students not only acquire the knowledge needed for a career in International Affairs, but also develop strong analytical and critical thinking skills as well as the ability to apply theories and concepts learned to real-life problems.
In addition to being taught by dedicated professors, students benefit from the first-hand experience of senior European and international policymakers, diplomats and practitioners.
By drawing on world-class academics and highly-experienced policymakers, students gain fundamental insight into both the theoretical and practical, hands-on dimensions of politics, economics and law. 

De opleiding behoort tot 2 studiegebieden, namelijk Economische en Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen + Politieke en sociale wetenschappen.
