International Relations Office

Our International Relations team provides guidance, support and advice to students and staff at VUB, as well as newly arrived international students. Our colleagues work on a variety of European and international projects. They can advise on scholarships for incoming and outgoing student and staff mobility, attract new students from abroad, provide guidance to VUB students and staff going abroad, and give specific support to refugee students and scholars at risk.

A Partena representative helps out our international students with their healthcare insurance. They are in our office every Tuesday and Thursday. Contact vub@healthinsurance.be
