Guidance and enrolment in an accredited Belgian school.

Choosing the right recognised Belgian institution and securing your admission is the step that determines everything else: visa, housing, equivalence. A wrong choice or a missed deadline can cost a full year.

Guidance and enrolment in an accredited Belgian school

What you need to know

To study in Belgium, a non-EU student must first obtain admission to a recognised institution (university, university college or higher arts school). The admission request is filed online, directly with the institution, within a window that closes early for non-EU applicants (often around late spring, with the calendar varying by institution). Processing usually depends on paying non-refundable application or deposit fees, and non-assimilated non-EU nationals owe a specific registration fee, the amount of which is set each year. The chosen programme and institution must be consistent with your previous studies.

The key elements of your application

  • A recognised Belgian institution: university, university college or higher arts school, in the French Community (Brussels, Liège, other cities)
  • An admission request filed online within the deadlines specific to non-EU applicants (an earlier window, not to be missed)
  • Application fees or a non-refundable deposit, payable for the application to be reviewed
  • A specific registration fee for non-assimilated non-EU nationals, set each year and non-refundable

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When should I start the admission process?
As early as possible. For non-EU applicants, the admission window closes well before the academic year, often around late spring, and it varies from one institution to another. We set you on the right deadlines from day one.
Are the deposit or application fees refundable?
No. The application fees and deposit required from non-EU applicants are generally not refunded. That is one more reason to file only a strong, well-targeted application, which we prepare with you.
Can you guarantee me an admission?
No serious intermediary can guarantee an admission, which is the institution's decision. What we do is build a strong file and several consistent applications to maximise your chances of obtaining at least one.
How much does registration cost for a non-EU student?
Beyond the ordinary registration fees, non-assimilated non-EU nationals pay a specific registration fee set each year by the authorities. We give you the up-to-date amounts for your institution and plan that budget with you.
Is admission enough to come and study in Belgium?
No: admission is the first building block. It then opens the long-stay visa application and, where relevant, the equivalence of your diploma. We coordinate these steps so they follow on without wasted time.
