Our renewed curriculum focuses on social and spatial justice, collaboration, and real-world impact. You can build your own package by choosing between 6, 12, 20, or 30 ECTS.
1. Perspectives on Social & Spatial Justice (6 ECTS)
Explore power, privilege, inequality and urban dynamics in Brussels. Learn how justice is created by space, culture, people and policy and how you can influence it. In this course you gain knowledge and an understanding of the complexities of social and spatial justice through study visits and working groups. We try to challenge your global citizenship and critical attitude towards social issues.
2. Co Create Labs: Skills for Change (6 ECTS)
Our Projectsemester creates different environments where you collaborate across disciplines. Develop creative methods, co creation tools, and practical skills to design impactful solutions with international students and local partners. We challenge you to develope transdisciplinary skills through hands-on activities and external visits or workshops. The (dis)comfort and value of interdisciplinarity and how to collaborate on innovative solutions from different disciplines is central.
3. Professional Practice and Impact: Internship for Fair Futures
In a 18 credit internship you will gain practical experience through workplace learning and integrate together with fellow students their ‘transdisciplinary’ research about social and spatial justice in practice, supported by coaching and working groups. We will kick-start your entrepreneurial spirit and ability to work in diverse teams and develop innovative solutions. If you prefer a shorter time frame (or do only the exchange for 20 credits), we offer a 8 ECTS alternative for the internship.
Work with Brussels-based NGOs, community organisations, public services, or creative changemakers and contribute directly to ongoing social projects.
