The founding institution

Brussels College, behind two institutions

Brussels College initiated Northwood University - Brussels and BCBT - Brussels College of Business and Technology, which share its campus in Zaventem and run as institutions in their own right.

Brussels College does not offer programmes or take applications itself. It operates Northwood University - Brussels, holds the centre approvals through which BCBT’s qualifications are provided, and holds the partnerships and Flemish quality registrations behind this work.
