Vesalius College
Welcome to Vesalius College, located in Brussels, Belgium, the “Capital of Europe”. Vesalius offers students a truly unique opportunity to study in an international city rich in culture and set squarely in the middle of world events.
The College’s teaching methods are characterized by small, interactive classes, flexibility in course selection, and continuous assessment. All classes at Vesalius College are taught in English. As a small college with a student body of approximately 300 (including 50+ nationalities) and a low student-to-teacher ratio, the faculty is accessible and able to take a personal interest in the success of students to help them achieve their potential. These close working relationships form the cornerstone of the Vesalius educational philosophy.

The University Neighbourhood
Vesalius College is a part of a broader university student community (more than 10,000) consisting of four other universities and graduate schools concentrated in a single area that exemplifies the student lifestyle. Easily accessible by bus, tram or metro, the area has everything to meet student needs including affordable housing, two on-campus cafeterias, live music, libraries, banks, shops, markets, restaurants, taverns, as well as athletic activities and facilities.
Living in Brussels - A Very Cosmopolitan Affair
The liberal nature of the Vesalius’ academic programme is reflected in the life of its students. The College encourages students to work hard to reach their academic potential, but also to live a full life away from books and classes. Brussels has a tremendous amount to offer those interested in exploring “The Capital of Europe” and students quickly discover the city to be vibrant and cosmopolitan with friendly charm. With 30% of the Brussels population being foreign nationals, the city has something to offer every taste from music, dancing, cuisine, art, associations and much, much, much more.
Beyond Brussels
Going to school in Brussels affords students the unique opportunity for some great (and quick and easy) travels and getaways. Belgium’s inter-city trains provide quick access to the coast of Flanders, Medieval Bruges, Antwerp (“The diamond capital of the world) and the wooded hills of the Ardennes. Looking beyond Belgium, Brussels is the ideal center from which to visit the rest of Europe. Paris is a short 90 minutes by fast train and London, Cologne and Amsterdam are just two-and-one half hours away. In addition, most major European cities are two hours or less by plane.
