Master of Science in Geography - Batch of 2026
4.8
A globally enriching and career-ready experience at VUB.
Tips: Before joining Vrije Universiteit Brussel, students should know that while courses are taught in English, the main spoken languages here are Dutch and French. Learning the basics of either can be very helpful, especially when looking for part-time jobs, as opportunities may be limited for those who only speak English. I didn't experience a major cultural shift after arriving. In fact, I truly enjoyed embracing the local celebrations and multicultural atmosphere. I was fortunate to receive a merit-based scholarship of 10,000 euros annually for my master's in geography, awarded based on my graduation CGPA and academic performance. The programme offers in-depth knowledge and practical insight into geography, which is a strong foundation for future career growth. The professors are supportive, and the learning environment is research-oriented and intellectually stimulating. One of the aspects I appreciate most about living in Brussels is its excellent public transportation system. It's efficient and well-connected, not just within the city but also to many neighbouring countries, making travel easy and convenient. Academically, I am very satisfied with my university and course.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are many companies in Belgium that offer post-study job opportunities and sponsor visas for international graduates. The job roles and salary packages vary depending on the chosen field. For example, geography students may find roles in GIS, environmental consulting, urban planning, or climate research. Starting salaries generally range from 2500-4000 per month. The job market is especially promising for those with specialised or in-demand skills.
Dislikes (Part time work): While many job opportunities prefer Dutch or French speakers, there are also off-campus opportunities for English speakers. On-campus jobs are available too, but English-only roles are fewer. Part-time work is manageable with studies, as students typically work up to 3 hours per day on weekdays and weekends, and most stores are closed on Sundays. The average pay ranges from 13 to 15 euros per hour.
