Master in european studies - Community advisor and project consultant

Brussels is not only the capital of Belgium; it is also the main home of the European institutions. Therefore, not only for Europeans but also around the world, the word 'Brussels' has itself become a synonym for these EU institutions, as they exercise their deliberative and decision-making powers.

Today, the city of Brussels hosts in its territory: Sessions of the European Parliament; the headquarters of the European Commission and also of the Council of the European Union; and also the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation or NATO. But Brussels is also a cultural, social and economical mosaic, with a rich multi-faceted life reflecting its central role in the institutions of Europe. Brussels comfortably merits its role as a leading capital among the network of great European cities.

Since the Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce cannot offer any accommodation of its own, students should find accommodation by themselves. They can find a room on www.appartager.be, www.traineesinbrussels.be or similar websites.

As alternative, the Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce has signed an agreement with Home in Brussels Quality Housing to book 5 flats hotel, for one or two persons, located in rue Defacqz 33, very close to Brussels’ old town centre. The rent of the flat is 38 euros par night (19 euros par person par night for flats shared with another student).

The premises of the Master's degree programme are located in the Place Louise area, the centre of Brussels's business and financial district.

The facilities are fully equipped with advanced technological resources. Students have access to computers and essential software, including internet and email-facilities, to study, do research and print out documents.
