Admission Requirements
Academic background
- For candidates studying in Belgium at a Flemish higher educational institution: a master's degree or equivalent*.
- For other candidates: a master’s degree OR a 3 or 4-year bachelor’s degree* from a recognized institution.
For some programs, there might be extra requirements.
If you are not sure whether you qualify, feel free to email your resume (CV) and transcripts to our admissions team.
You are welcome to submit your application even if you are in the process of completing your current studies. Students with already several years of work experience in different sectors are also welcome, although this is not required.
Proof of English proficiency
All of our master’s programs are taught in English. To ensure that you can follow everything smoothly, a good knowledge of the language is a must.
English native speakers, students who completed their higher education in English and graduates of master's programs in Belgium do not need to submit proof. However, if necessary, the admission committee may request an additional English language test based on your performance during the admission interview.
In any other case, you will be asked to prove your language skills anyway.
Proving your English proficiency can be done in several ways:
Admission procedure

Program-specific criteria
All of our master’s programs follow the same criteria, although some specializations have some additional requirements. So be sure to look carefully at the "Practical Information" tab of the master’s program of your choice to make sure you don't overlook anything.
Application deadline
To ensure close involvement with the professors, fellow students and the school, we admit only a limited number of students for each program. Our application process operates on a rolling basis. To secure your spot, we highly recommend submitting your application as early as you can.
The application deadline for non-EU/EEA students who need a visa for Belgium is May 31, 2026. This will ensure that you have enough time to arrange all necessary paperwork.
For EU/EEA students who don't need a visa, the deadline is August 31, 2026.
Acceptance
Upon acceptance into the program, you are required to submit a deposit of 3000 euros within 15 days if you want to accept your offer. The remaining balance of your tuition fees must be settled before the program commences. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable, except in cases of force majeure (like visa refusal, for example).
