The programme is tailored for an international range of young and mid-level professionals as well as advanced students from across the political sciences. The professors are nominated specifically for each course in the Programme and are an international mixture of high-ranking practitioners and leading academics.

The courses are exclusively at advanced master (i.e post-graduate) level. The curriculum offers an advanced academic training that allows students to focus on any two of the four topical policy-fields, being the economy, migration, external relations & security, and the environment. Our approach is decidedly interdisciplinary.

We have made special efforts to maintain our tuition as affordable as possible.

For the academic year 2019-20, all students pay €900 Annual Registration Fee + €60 per Study Point/ECTS. This means that fulltime students pay €4,500 for an academic year (60 Study Points/ECTS). Parttime students pay €2,700 per academic year. These tuition fees are applicable to both EU and non-EU students.

Foreign students must make their own arrangements to be covered by health insurance, valid during their stay in Belgium.
