The article talks about last year’s graduates from the SME management (“KMO-management” in Dutch) program offered at “Karel de Grote Hogeschool”, a local public college in Antwerp, Belgium. Students were asked what they have been up to after having graduated and how they feel about their previous studies.
Some students are working, though most of the others have continued their studies in either a Master program at the graduate level or in a bridging program at another local college or university. Several students applied for an International Master/MBA Degree Program at Antwerp International Business School, of which the first group of students is expected to graduate at the end of June this year.
For those who decided to continue their studies, the most important reason was the feeling they still lacked a certain theoretical background and also because they would like to specialize further in a specific field of management at a higher academic level.
Attached is the complete article as it appeared in the HR.Square magazine for those who would like to read it in its entirety. Antwerp International Business School offers international study programs at the undergraduate (Associate/ABA, Bachelor/BBA) and graduate (Master/MBA) level, entirely in English. The study programs are open to members of the international community and also to Belgian nationals who wish to study in English in Antwerp, their hometown.
