Courage, enthusiasm, focus, and trust. These are the core values that form the foundation of Thomas More University College. We aim to be an inspiring institution and an accessible innovative organization. We do not want Thomas More to be just a place where people study and work, we want it be a place that brings people from all walks of life together as a community. With over 14.000 students, 30 bachelor programs, and campuses in 7 different locations, Thomas More is one of the largest university colleges in the Flanders region in Belgium. Our campuses are centrally located in Europe and close to several major cities, such as Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris and London. Through this central location we maintain a continuous connection with an ever-changing globalized world. By working closely with both employers in their respective fields and our own students, Thomas More provides trend-setting high quality education as well as innovative applied research.

Thomas More is part of the KU Leuven Association, a close cooperation between five university colleges and the oldest extant Catholic university in the world and the oldest university in the Low Countries.
