(including for candidates for one of the university admissions exams):

• Admission applications must be submitted within 5 years of completion of secondary school studies abroad (Baccalaureate, state diploma, etc.) – (therefore, for 2022-2023 admissions, the secondary school diploma must have been obtained in June 2017 or after).

If there is no grade, the application will be transmitted to the Faculty). An exception is made for students who have completed at least 2 consecutive years of the same course of higher education studies abroad (reports or transcripts required).
• HUE applicants who can be funded via the assimilation criteria are not concerned by the general or specific academic criteria set by the faculties.
• Have already obtained, at the time of application, a decision of equivalence to the CESS giving access to the envisaged course. In the case of a provisional equivalence, the visa attestation allowing the submission of the visa application to the competent consulate will only be issued after receipt of the proof that the necessary steps have been taken to obtain the definitive equivalence.Exceptions to this rule
  • the HUE candidate present on Belgian territory and not needing a study VISA who can be admitted subject to passing the DACS or the entrance exam for undergraduate studies of higher education;
  • the candidate wishing to be admitted to the Bachelor of Engineering Sciences and taking the special entrance examination for these studies.

The specific conditions are available in this document (in french)

• Holders of a GCE (Cameroon General Certificate of Education) are invited to attach the transcript (grades converted out of 20).
• For access beyond Block 1 or for credit assessment, the jury reserves the right to assess academic background only if the course of study prior to enrolment at FWEG was provided in a public higher education institution or university or under the supervision of a public university.
• Courses in the first four months of the year start around 15 September. Many courses are assessed on an ongoing basis from the very first sessions. No favours related to courses and assessments can be requested by students who, due to the admission process, arrive after 15 September. For the smooth running of your studies, we advise you to join us as soon as you start the school year.

There is a specific registration procedure for first cycle studies in Speech Therapy (see here).

Registration for studies in medicine is now conditional on the successful completion of the specific entrance exam (see here).

In addition to the general criteria, for an application beyond BAB1 for the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences:

• The jury reserves the right not to award credits for identical teaching units acquired with a mark of less than 12/20.

In addition, for admission to the MA Management Engineering, technical, industrial and quantitative skills are required (see for example the BA Management Engineering programme offered at FWEG).
