Vesalius College, also known as VeCo, is a private college located in Brussels, Belgium. Founded in 1987, it is named after Andreas Vesalius, a pioneering anatomist of the Renaissance period.
The college is associated with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and has been part of the Brussels School of Governance, since February 2021, through an alliance with VUB's Institute for European Studies.




Academic Programs


VeCo offers three-year bachelor's degree programs and one-year master's degree programs, following the Bologna process. The language of education is in English.
Vesalius College provides four undergraduate majors under the current three-year program:

Business

There are two master's programs and a master's preparatory program:

Master of Arts in Diplomacy and Global Governance (90 or 120 ECTS option)
