University
Higher education (hoger onderwijs/enseignement superieure) in Belgium is provided by universities, university colleges (hogescholen/hautes ecoles), and government-recognized institutions. The governance of the universities falls to the Dutch- and French-speaking regions but many courses are taught in English.
Each higher education institution determines its own admission requirements. Students holding a Belgian secondary school diploma (CESS) or international equivalent are eligible to apply. However, some faculties require an entrance exam for admission, for example, medicine, dentistry, and engineering science.
The government sets the registration fee for each establishment and reviews it annually. There are different fee levels depending on the student’s financial situation, the level of study, and nationality. Generally speaking, tuition fees are quite affordable, compared to many other countries in Europe.
Study in Flanders is the official website where international students can discover the English taught degree programmes of the 18 Flemish Higher Education Institutions in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium.
