Degrees in Belgium

A wide range of degree courses are available across many institutions in Belgium to study at undergraduate level.

In Belgium, undergraduate degrees are provided by universities and higher education institutions. They offer a variety of bachelor’s degrees, such as Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Arts (BA), and others.

Higher education in Belgium is divided between the Flemish Community and the French Community, with each offering programmes in their respective languages.

In addition to universities, there are specialised colleges that focus on more practical, skills-based education. These include arts and business schools that are well-known for their focus on creative disciplines and management studies.

Dutch, French, and increasingly English are the languages of teaching, with English-taught programs designed to cater to an international student body.

How to Apply for a Degree in Belgium

International students can apply directly to their chosen institution. The application process may vary slightly between the Flemish and French Communities, as each might have its own portal and requirements.

Applicants are usually required to provide academic transcripts, a motivation letter, and proof of language proficiency – Dutch or French for some programs, and IELTS or TOEFL for English-taught programs. Specific entry requirements can vary depending on the programme and institution.

Undergraduate Tuition Fees for International Students

Tuition fees in Belgium for international students can vary, with EU/EEA students generally paying lower fees compared to non-EU/EEA students. Fees for international students outside the EU/EEA range approximately from EUR 1,000 to EUR 4,500 per year, depending on the institution and degree.

There are various scholarships and financial aids available, offered by Belgian universities, government, and international organisations, aimed at supporting international students financially.
