Faculty
From 1998 to 2000, Dr Wiener Directed the School and its only program, the MA in International Relations. In 2000, market demand dictated that Kent's flagship MA in International Conflict Analysis be launched in Brussels, and Dr Christopher Daase was appointed as its first Program Director. Dr Daase held that post from 2000 to 2003, leaving when he became full Professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. He was succeeded by Professor AJR Groom.
The School expanded rapidly to include other Departments of the University of Kent.
In 2002, the Kent Law School began offering programs in Brussels. Professor Wade Mansell led the creation of a joint LLM in International Law with International Relations at BSIS, and Dr Harm Schepel became the first member of the Kent Law School to be seconded to BSIS in 2002, whereupon he launched the LLM in International Economic Law.
The Kent School for Social Policy Sociology and Social Research (SSPSSR) then launched an MA in International Migration at the Brussels School, appointing Dr Amanda Klekowski Von Koppenfels as the program coordinator, drawing on her extensive academic expertise and experience with the International Organisation for Migration in Brussels.
More programs under the Department of Politics and International Relations were launched as well. The MA in International Political Economy, originally designed by Dr Wiener for the London Centre, was transposed, and Dr Wiener created two new programs: the MA in European Public Policy, and the MA in Political Strategy and Communication. Internationally recognised political theorist, Dr Albena Azmanova, was appointed to assume the Directorship of the MA in International Political Economy and the MA in European Public Policy, while Dr Wiener directed the MA in Political Strategy and Communication.

“Members of the faculty, faculty members, students of Huxley and Huxley students. I guess that covers everything.”
—S.J. Perelman, U.S. screenwriter, Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, and Norman Z. McLeod. Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff (Groucho Marx)
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The dramatic art would appear to be rather a feminine art; it contains in itself all the artifices which belong to the province of woman: the desire to please, facility to express emotions and hide defects, and the faculty of assimilation which is the real essence of woman.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
