Dries Nollet | Alumnus of the Postgraduate Certificate in International Trade and Investment "Being able to exchange and challenge different point of views within a group of international students originating from different educational backgrounds was a very enriching experience. ... Collectively applying theory in cases, often inspired on the latest challenges faced by the practitioners themselves, offered a truly unique value to this programme. In today’s world where real-life experiences are valued immensely, this programme offers students a unique value proposition in comparison to other universities.
