        • Language Choices

          Professional proficiency in different languages is very important for a successful professional career Business Management. Therefore, students need to choose 2 foreign languages of the languages below. Students will acquire 18 study points within the English Bachelor programme. 2 foreign languages, 3 levels. Students can't choose nor get an exemption for the language of their previous studies and native language. For students who do so this can be seen as fraud. Students who are already enrolled in the programme, can continue the chosen language up to minimum module 3.

          Students who started the programme before 22-23, can continue the chosen language up to minimum module 3.

          For a model curriculum you best make following choices:
          ·  Module 1 of your 2 foreign languages in your 1st semester of your 1st year.
          ·  Module 2 of your 2 foreign languages in your 2nd semester of your 1st year.
          ·  Module 3 of your 2 foreign languages in your 1st semester of your 2nd year.

          It is the student’s responsibility to acquire the necessary language levels over the course of the 3-year programme.

          Please note that the combination of Deutsch and Chinese is not possible.

          Students of the 1st year who don’t select the 2 languages by the second Wednesday of the start of the semester (deadline ISP) the study counsellor will select following languages:
          ·  Flemish students: Français 1 and Español 1
          ·  For international students: Français Débutant 1 and Nederlands 1 unless this is contrary to the above rule.

          Please note that for French there are two levels to start from.
          Français débutant 1 there is no preliminary knowledge necessary and cannot be selected by students who finished primary/secondary school in Flanders.
          Français 1 preliminary knowledge is required, (level B1: Students who finished secondary school in Flanders).

          • Language Choice Chinese

            Chinese 1 will only be offered in SEM1 and not in SEM2.
            Please note that the combination of Deutsch and Chinese is not possible.

            Fading out since 2023-2024, only for already registered students.

        • International internship & bachelor project first semester (Can only be booked by your ISP responsable)

      • Electives

        Students starting in 2025-2026 don’t need to select an elective in their programme.

        Students who still need to select electives to get a minimum of 180 credits in their ISP can do so on top of their mandatory courses.
        If you choose an elective, you have to check the content, the continuity and the scheduling in the ECTS file. This said, if there is a time overlap with your compulsory courses the lecturer does not have to provide special facilities to the student. Moreover, the number of registrations for these OPO's may be limited. Registration is therefore subject to change and is only confirmed when your ISP has been approved by the study counsellor. You can choose from the elective list provided to you. You can also exchange an elective for an extra language course but not the other way around.

        Elective 'Internationalisation@Thomasmore.be', also known as the buddy project, can only be booked by your ISP responsable.

      • Transitional Measures

        Students who did not get the credit for YB1004 Entrepreneurial Management 1 need to take YB1451 Entrepreneurial Management 1 (September programme, semester 2) OR YB1004 Entrepreneurial Management 1 (February programme, semester 1).

        Students who did not get the credit for YB1002 Personal Development need to take YE0434 (September programme, yearly course) OR YB1002 Personal Development (February programme, semester 2).

        FIRST READ HERE HOW TO FILL IN YOUR ISP (Tips & tricks)
        Not for starters (starter = first time enrolled in Phase 1)

        Study exchange is not mandatory during the second phase in the spring semester as it is not an obligation within the English-language programmes of the Business Unit. However, it will still be offered as an option and is of course strongly encouraged within your international programme, and for further development of your personal intercultural competences.

        Therefore, February starters will be asked to decide during their first week of the semester (phase: 1 Feb – June) if they plan to go on study exchange during the following year in phase 2 (February- June). 

        Students who decide they do NOT go on study exchange are required to register for the compulsory courses offered in BLOCK 3 (February – June).

        For study exchange:​​ Successfully complete all courses in phase 1, with an exception of 6 incomplete credits in the semester​ not simultaneous with the study exchange semester .​

        Other exceptions to be discussed with the Study Path Coordinator of your programme.

        Students graduating with more than 180 credits will NOT get exempted from compulsory courses.

      • Major Global Supply Chain Management - Start September

        Study exchange is not mandatory during the 2nd year (Jan/Feb - May/June) within the English-language programmes of the Business Unit. However, it is still offered as an option and is off course encouraged within your international programme, and for further development of your personal intercultural competences.

        Students decide by deadline 10/2 (deadline Declaration of Intent, year prior = during phase 1 (1st year), if they plan to go on study exchange during phase 2 (2nd year).

        Students who go on study exchange must substitute the below courses with similar/comparable courses at the partner university.

        Students who are NOT going on study exchange are required to register for the compulsory courses.

        Students graduating with more than 180 credits will NOT get exempted from compulsory courses.

        • Compulsory Subjects

          • International Trade

          • Business & Entrepreneurship

            Students who applied & are accepted for the buddy programme (='Internationalisation@Thomasmore.be') can replace YB1319 'Corporate Social Responsibility' by 'Internationalisation@ThomasMore' (only booked by your ISP responsible).
            As there is only 1 code, you can only include this specific course once in your study programme.
            Of course you can be a buddy more often, on a voluntary basis.

Therefore, students need to choose 2 foreign languages of the languages below. Students will acquire 18 study points within the English Bachelor programme. 2 foreign languages, 3 levels. Students can't choose nor get an exemption for the language of their previous studies and native language. For students who do so this can be seen as fraud.

            For a model curriculum you best make following choices:
            - Module 1 of your 2 foreign languages in your 1st semester of your 1st year.
            - Module 2 of your 2 foreign languages in your 2nd semester of your 1st year.
            - Module 3 of your 2 foreign languages in your 1st semester of your 2nd year.

            It is the student’s responsibility to acquire the necessary language levels over the course of the 3-year programme.

            Please note that the combination of Deutsch and Chinese is not possible.

            Students of the 1st year who don’t select the 2 languages by the second Wednesday of the start of the semester (deadline ISP) the study counsellor will select following languages:
            - Flemish students: Français 1 and Español 1
            - For international students: Français Débutant 1 and Nederlands 1 unless this is contrary to the above rule.
            Please note that for French there are two levels to start from.

            For phase 3 students who are not able to join the course 'International Entrepreneurship' (after approval of the programme coordinator) the course 'Microeconomics of Competitiveness' will be the replacement course. - The change can only be made by the ISP coordinator.

            Not for starters (starter = first time enrolled in Phase 1)

            Study exchange is not mandatory during the second phase in the spring semester as it is not an obligation within the English-language programmes of the Business Unit. However, it will still be offered as an option and is of course strongly encouraged within your international programme, and for further development of your personal intercultural competences.

            For study exchange:​​ Successfully complete all courses in phase 1 ​with an exception of 6 incomplete credits in the semester​ not simultaneous with the study exchange semester .

            Therefore, February starters will be asked to decide during their first week of the semester (phase: 1 Feb – June) if they plan to go on study exchange during the following year in phase 2 (February- June). Students who decide they do NOT go on study exchange are required to register for the compulsory courses offered in BLOCK 3 (February – June).

            Students graduating with more than 180 credits will NOT get exempted from compulsory courses.

            Other exceptions to be discussed with the Study Path Coordinator of your programme.

                As there is only 1 code, you can only include this specific course once in your study programme.
                Of course you can be a buddy more often, on a voluntary basis.

              • Language Choices

                In the English Bachelor programme, students must earn 12 study points by learning two foreign languages at two different levels. These languages are selected based on the student's mother tongue. Students are not permitted to choose or receive exemptions for the language of their previous education or their native language.
                * Belgian Dutch speaking students: Phase 1: Français 1 + Français 2, Phase 2: Español 1 + Español 2
                * For international students where the mother language is not French: Phase 1: Nederlands 1 + Nederlands 2, Phase 2: Français Débutant 1 + Français Débutant 2
                * For French speaking students: Phase 1: Nederlands 1 + Nederlands 2, Phase 2: Español 1 + Español 2

                Please note that for French there are two levels to start from. Français débutant 1 there is no preliminary knowledge necessary and can not be selected by students who had French in primary/secondary school. Français 1 preliminary knowledge is required, (level B1: Students who finished secondary school in Flanders).

            Study exchange is not mandatory during the second phase in the spring semester as it is not an obligation within the English-language programmes of the Business Unit. However, it will still be offered as an option and is of course strongly encouraged within your international programme, and for further development of your personal intercultural competences.

            For study exchange:​​ Successfully complete all courses in phase 1 ​with an exception of 6 incomplete credits in the semester​ not simultaneous with the study exchange semester .

            Therefore, February starters will be asked to decide during their first week of the semester (phase: 1 Feb – June) if they plan to go on study exchange during the following year in phase 2 (February- June). Students who decide they do NOT go on study exchange are required to register for the compulsory courses offered in BLOCK 3 (February – June).

            Students graduating with more than 180 credits will NOT get exempted from compulsory courses.

            Other exceptions to be discussed with the Study Path Coordinator of your programme.
