A top sports career, and a professional career

Top athletes who have ended their top sports career have now started a career in the labour market, with the help of obtaining a diploma. You probably know Sebastien Godefroid, Ann Simons, Heidi Rakels, Katleen Smet, Ingeborg Marx, Nils Duerinck, Tom Vangeneugden, Corinne Van Hombeeck, Willem Van Schuerbeeck, Jérôme Truyens, Erica Coppey... All of them have a degree from the VUB.

But also many active professional athletes such as Jürgen Roelandts, Dirk Van Tichelt, Pieter Verhees, Yannick Lefèbvre and Sofie Hendrickx have obtained a diploma at the VUB.

Top sports status

With a top sports status you qualify for extra flexibility and measures concerning your studies, sports, housing and other logistics. These benefits are generally appointed depending on the category of your status (there are 3 categories).
