mission:
KHBO, together with 11 other Flemish University Colleges, is part of the Association Catholic University Leuven. Together they make up the largest association of its kind in Flanders. This cooperation with the Catholic University of Leuven, one of the oldest universities in Europe, offers the possibility of optimising our courses and guarantees the academic level of our courses.
The courses we offer are aimed at young people interested in a higher basic education, at professionals looking for extra training and specialisation, or at those wanting to re-orientate themselves completely. Because of our close cooperation with businesses and institutions, our courses are periodically tailored to suit the needs of the everyday world.
Hence, our courses have not only been developed professionally but also cross-culturally. Because of the increasing internationalisation of the corporate world, we give to each of our courses an explicit international touch. We do this, for example, through content-oriented cooperation with foreign institutions and through exchange programs for students and staff.
Not only do we want to be of use to the students by preparing them in the best possible way for their future career, but also to the socio-economical needs of the wider area in which we operate. Indeed, we market ourselves as a ‘value-building’ university college, that welcomes one and all.
