Programme Highlights

UBI’s bachelor programmes build strong foundations and applied skills for early-career roles. Build the fundamentals of energy systems and markets—then learn how volatility, security, resilience, and environmental impact shape business decisions. The programme develops the analytical and communication skills to support energy transition initiatives across organisations and sectors.

In addition to the effects on global warming, the world has entered a new energy era defined by volatility, supply constraints, geopolitical risk, and rapid technological change. In this context, the energy transition is not only about decarbonisation; it is also about keeping economies, companies, and communities running. UBI’s Strategic Energy Transition bachelor prepares professionals to lead decisions that strengthen energy security and resilience while accelerating the shift to cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable systems.

As the global energy transition accelerates, organisations are redefining their technologies, strategies, operations and value creation models, reshaping entire industries. This growing systemic, regulatory and technological complexity demands a new generation of professionals able to work across disciplines—combining strategic thinking, technological insight and leadership capability to make informed decisions and drive organisational change.

In this context, UBI’s bachelor’s programme promotes a multidisciplinary approach with a strong emphasis on applying technology, innovation and strategic thinking to energy transition, allowing future professionals to have an immediate impact on business models, navigate the energy transition, and contribute t build sustainable competitive advantage over the long term.

  • Upon successful admission into the programme, students requiring a visa to study at UBI must make a first tuition fee payment to continue the enrolment process.

The tuition fees are fully refundable in case of visa rejection or a deferral/withdrawal before the start of the programme. The administrative fee is non-refundable.
  • Visa students who want to secure a place in the programme first, and continue the enrolment process later, have the option to make a down payment of EUR 1.000, and pay the remaining fees later, but before the start of the programme. The down payment is non-refundable in case the student decides not to study at UBI Business School, except for circumstances such as a medical and/or other legitimate reasons (e.g.: visa rejection) resulting in the student not being able to pursue his/her studies.
  • It is recommended to apply for a student visa type D with multiple entries, valid for the entire duration of the programme, immediately after receiving UBI’s official registration letter.

  • For further financial information about the official visa process, visit the official Belgian Immigration Office page.
  • Visa students are required to provide proof of means of subsistence as part of the visa application process. These funds are aimed at proving that students have the minimum amount required to cover living costs, studies, and repatriation costs.
  • For the 2026-2027 academic year in Belgium, the minimum required fund is EUR 1,062 X 12 months = EUR 12,744.
    • i.e. International applicants need to secure around EUR 19,000 (means of subsistence + tuition fee + administration fee) prior to applying for a visa.
  • Important note: it is highly recommended that this fund be safely secured in a blocked account, which UBI can help applicants set up.
  • For UBI’s regulation on subsistence funds, please see “UBI Proof of subsistence regulation”.
