I´d say hope you all started the year well and refreshed but let´s be serious.., with just two weeks of Christmas and a big welcome from a couple of exams the first week back, we hit the ground running this year. That was quickly over and then came the […]

Tweet January is over, exams are over! However, at Vlerick Business School, we as students are often assessed in other ways than just another standard, boring exam.

Tweet Ni hao. That was basically the only Chinese I knew before visiting the Red Dragon.
