Of the 5 Master in Management programs we track in Belgium, 3 publish a salary comparable across schools, and the median across those 3 is $89,576 (from $78,746 to $97,902). It is the Financial Times Masters in Management weighted salary — alumni pay reported roughly three years after graduation, adjusted for purchasing power and expressed in US dollars — not the salary a graduate starts on.
Salary by school
Salary is the FT weighted figure measured about three years after graduation (USD, PPP-adjusted) — not a starting salary. A school not in the FT table shows its own reported figure in its own currency, which is why it is named separately above. Click any school for its full salary and career-outcomes breakdown.

Working in Belgium after your MiM
Non-EU Master in Management graduates of a Belgian higher-education institution can apply for the search year, receiving an 'A card' marked 'job seeker' valid for 12 months. You file at your local municipality at least 15 days before your student card expires, with your Belgian degree, health insurance and proof of sufficient means; the Immigration Office decides within 90 days. During the search year you have unrestricted access to the labour market and may work legally.
The search year is not renewable, so to stay on you must move to a work-based permit once hired: an employer applies for a single (combined) permit, whose work-authorisation element is issued by the competent Region — Brussels-Capital, Flanders, Wallonia or the German-speaking Community — or you obtain a professional card for self-employment from the Region.
Tuition vs. salary
Tuition across these programs runs from €1,181 to €23,500, against a median FT weighted salary of $89,576 at the 3 programmes that publish one.
Tuition is shown in EUR and salary in US dollars (the FT's reporting currency), and the salary is measured about three years after graduation while the tuition is paid up front — so treat this as a rough orientation, not a precise return-on-investment ratio. Living costs, scholarships and exchange rates all move the real number.
