Enrolling at ULiège from abroad.

How much does enrolment at ULiège cost for a non-EU student?

The cost breaks down into two parts: the ordinary tuition fee, common to all students, and an additional contribution specific to non-assimilated non-EU nationals. At the University of Liège, this contribution is a single annual flat amount of 4 175 €, identical for all programmes and all cycles; only the ordinary registration fee varies by course.

Who is exempt from the 4 175 € contribution?

Only non-assimilated non-EU students pay the contribution. An assimilated student pays like a resident. The University of Liège notably recognises as assimilated:

• Holders of a long-term or settlement residence permit (cards B, C, D, F, F+).
• Refugees, stateless persons and beneficiaries of subsidiary or temporary protection.
• Persons carrying out a genuine professional activity or receiving a replacement income.
• Beneficiaries of CPAS (public welfare) support and scholarship holders of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
• Children and dependants of a person falling within one of these categories.

Added to this is the exemption linked to nationality: nationals of the countries listed in the annexes of the ARES circular (least developed countries, low human development index, additional list) are exempt from the additional contribution, but remain liable for the ordinary tuition fee. Senegal, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Lebanon fall under it; Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria do not appear there and remain liable for the contribution, unless they qualify for individual assimilation.

What is the admission application timeline?

At the University of Liège, the admission form for non-EU students opens on 18 February and closes on 31 March 2026 for the 2026-2027 academic year. Files are then processed before 30 June. As everywhere, the equivalence of the secondary diploma is requested in parallel, without waiting for the admission decision.

1. 1Request the equivalence of the secondary school leaving diploma from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
2. 2Prepare the admission file and gather all the required documents.
3. 3Pay the 200 € deposit so that the file is examined.
4. 4Receive the decision before 30 June, then start the visa application and the enrolment.

What level of French does ULiège require?

The required level is B2 in bachelor as in master, and C1 for masters with a teaching focus. Proof is provided through a recognised test (DELF, DALF, TCF, TEF) or by passing the French language proficiency examination organised by the university. Diplomas already followed in French may open an exemption.

Medicine, physiotherapy, veterinary: the capped programmes

Medicine and dental sciences are decided at the French Community entrance examination, with a quota of 15 % of non-resident successful candidates and a merit-based ranking. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation and speech therapy apply a quota of 30 % of non-residents, veterinary medicine 20 %, decided by a draw under bailiff supervision in case of exceedance. Applications go through the Mesetudes platform, over a short window.
