The only Professional Postgraduate certificate awarded in partnership with a British University in Belgium and Luxembourg

This Professional Postgraduate Certificate comprises selected modules from UBI’s MSc programmes. Participants study alongside Master’s students and are assessed to the same academic standard. Upon successful completion, graduates are awarded the following certificate, issued by Middlesex University London (UK):

Postgraduate Certificate – Management (CRM and Marketing Cloud)

Locations

The Professional Postgraduate Certificate in Management of CRM and Marketing Cloud is available in two study modes: fully in-person at our Brussels campus, or fully online.

EU citizens may also opt for HyFlex – UBI’s hybrid model – which allows you to freely switch between attending on campus and joining online session by session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before applying — from entry requirements to visas.

What are the entry requirements for UBI's Professional Postgraduate Certificates?

Applicants need a completed Bachelor’s degree, with a detailed transcript showing subjects and grades (in English or French), a valid passport copy with a recent portrait photo, proof of English proficiency — usually IELTS (6.0) or TOEFL iBT (overall 4; or 72 on the old scale) results — and a motivation letter of around 500 words on how the certificate will contribute to your personal and professional growth. All certificates are taught entirely in English, so no knowledge of French is required. Applications are assessed on academic background and motivation, with an emphasis on your readiness for a global, technology-driven learning environment.

You apply online through the UBI Business School platform, free of charge. Once your complete file is received, the admissions team reviews your academic background and overall suitability. Selected candidates are invited to a 30-minute online interview with the Programme Director, typically held via Zoom, where your motivation and fit for the programme are discussed. Successful applicants generally receive their admission decision within 7 days of the admission interview. Application deadlines for the next intake are listed in the Admission Requirements section of this page.

There are two intakes each year, in April and September, so you can begin at the point that best suits your professional schedule. The certificate is an intensive five-month programme carrying 30 ECTS, structured around five modules of 6 ECTS each — a foundational Business Strategy module, three specialised modules in your chosen field, and a final Applied Research and Practical Application project completed fully online. The compact format is designed to deliver a focused, career-relevant qualification without requiring a long break from work.

You can choose the mode that fits your circumstances: fully in person at UBI’s Brussels campus, or fully online from anywhere in the world. EU citizens also have a third option — HyFlex, UBI’s hybrid model, which lets you switch freely between attending on campus and joining online, session by session. Whichever mode you choose, teaching combines high-quality asynchronous materials with live sessions and real-time feedback, so the experience remains interactive and personal. Please note that no student visa is issued for the certificates, so non-EEA applicants joining from outside Belgium study fully online — see the visa question below for details.

It is a focused, postgraduate-level qualification that develops specialist management capability in a single field over five months, rather than the breadth of a full Master’s degree. The format suits early to mid-career professionals building expertise in a fast-moving domain, managers and functional specialists leading projects in that field, and career changers or entrepreneurs pivoting towards new opportunities. Because study is compact and flexible, most participants continue working while they learn — making it a practical way to add a credible, specialised credential to your profile quickly.

Yes — each certificate is designed as a direct pathway to a Master’s. The modules you complete are drawn from UBI’s Master’s programmes and carry 24 ECTS at postgraduate level, so progressing to a full Master’s qualification means completing the remaining modules and the final capstone project rather than starting again. If you are considering this route, the admissions team can advise on how your certificate maps onto UBI’s Master programmes and what the onward study commitment would involve.

On successful completion you are awarded a Postgraduate Certificate issued by Middlesex University London — the exact award title is shown in the certificate section of this page. Each certificate is built from selected modules of UBI’s Master’s programmes: you study alongside MSc students and are assessed to the same academic standard, so the credential reflects genuine Master’s-level attainment in your specialisation. Middlesex University is ranked among the top 100 young universities worldwide and the top 10 transnational universities globally by Times Higher Education, and UBI’s certificates are the only professional postgraduate certificates in Belgium and Luxembourg offered in partnership with a British university.

Tuition is EUR 3,500 — a single fee covering the full five-month certificate, applicable to EEA and non-EEA participants alike. Fees do not include personal equipment such as laptops, textbooks, or travel costs. A range of entry scholarships and tuition support programmes is available, including merit-based, global inclusion, family-based, special group, refugee status and corporate scholarships. Details and eligibility criteria are available on the Scholarships & Financial Support page or from the admissions team.

Yes — the certificate is built for working professionals. The five-month format combines asynchronous study with live sessions, and the fully online and HyFlex modes let you fit learning around a full-time role rather than pausing your career. As a result, many participants apply what they learn directly at work as they go. And because the certificate can be completed entirely online, there is no need to relocate — or step away from your job — to take part.

No student visa is issued for the Professional Postgraduate Certificates. If you are a non-EEA national outside Belgium, you join the programme fully online — there is no visa process, and you can study from anywhere in the world. One dedicated route exists for the UBI community: non-EEA students completing their Bachelor’s or Master’s at UBI can extend their existing student visa by an additional six months to complete a certificate on campus in Brussels. EEA citizens — and international students whose current Belgian residence status allows them to study — can also attend on campus. The admissions team can confirm which route applies to you.

What our Students Say

Hear from students and alumni across our campuses and online community.

I’m Medical Director for BeLux at Merck. After 20+ years in Medical Affairs, I chose to explore AI, leveraging my medical and leadership background. I stepped out of my comfort zone and returned to campus, completing UBI’s Postgraduate Certificate in Management of AI & Machine Learning at UBI Brussel school (in cooperation with Middlesex University London).  

Intense, inspiring, highly recommended!
