Graduate Programs / Courses

While all efforts have been made to ensure that the list of courses is complete and accurate at the time of printing, we do reserve the right to make changes to the list as well as to the course planning without prior notice.

All courses are subject to availability and are scheduled based on actual student enrollments and professor availability. Most Graduate courses are available at all campuses. For the Antwerp and Brussels campuses, some courses may be split between campuses. For all other campuses, some courses may be scheduled virtually only.

Course Planning

The course planning outlines when each of the courses from each of the course categories are scheduled. Courses may be scheduled in different formats, including daytime, evening, weekend, seminar, executive and online.
The courses listed under the standard planning can be expected to be scheduled as announced and may vary between campuses. The actual scheduling of courses is based on total enrollments and professor availability. The courses listed under the additional planning can be expected to be scheduled as needed, in case of higher total enrollments, or in case of enrollments for specific programs, specializations and/or formats, and will vary between campuses.
While all campuses follow the same course planning, deviations may occur. The availability of courses at a single campus is based on the availability of specific specializations, programs and/or formats at that campus according to the Program Schedule. The availability of the Summer Quarter at a single campus is also listed in the Program Schedule.
Evening and Weekend courses are scheduled only at campuses where evening courses are marked as available in the Program Schedule. Weekend courses are typically scheduled on Saturday only and across multiple Saturdays during the quarter.
Executive courses are organized in modules of 2 courses each during 4 consecutive days during weeks 5 and 10 of the Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer quarters. The modules rotate over a period of 2 academic years. Additional courses can be completed in an Online or regular campus format with daytime, seminar, evening and weekend options available.
Online courses are organized following the Executive course planning and can be joined at the start of the Term following the Term in which the Executive courses are organized. Additional courses can be completed in an Executive or regular campus format with daytime, seminar, evening and weekend options available.
Specifically, for the Antwerp and Brussels campuses, some courses are scheduled only in Antwerp or only in Brussels, requiring students from either campus to attend the course at the other campus. For all campuses, some courses are scheduled virtually with an off-campus professor, requiring students to attend the course from the local conference room. In both cases, exams are still organized at the home campus.
Students may still apply to specializations and programs at a specific campus when those specializations and programs are not listed as offered for that campus in the Program Schedule. In such case, the scheduling of required courses for this specialization or program cannot be guaranteed. The required courses may be available in a virtual or seminar format from or at another campus, or via Guided Learning or Online Tutoring.
