Advanced Master programmes – 2024-2025 Admissions

 

Admission Requirements:

Under the general conditions set by the Academic Authorities, students who hold one of the following are eligible to register on an Advanced Master’s programme:

1° A Master’s degree.

2° The equivalent of a Master’s degree, awarded by a higher education establishment in the Flemish Community, in the German-speaking Community or by the Royal Military School, by virtue of a decision by the Academic Authorities and subject to any additional conditions that they set.

3° A foreign degree recognised as equivalent to those mentioned in points 1° and 2° pursuant to the decree, a European directive, an international convention or other legislation, under the same conditions.

The additional entry requirements referred to in point 2 are intended to ensure that the student has acquired the subjects and skills required for the studies in question. Where these complementary conditions of access consist of one or more additional courses, these may not represent more than 60 additional credits for the student, taking into account all the credits that the student may otherwise have validated on admission. These courses form part of the student’s programme of study. Since the Government decrees referred to in 4° and 5° have not yet been issued, for the 2021-2022 academic year, students who do not hold one of the qualifications referred to in 1° and 3° are required to sit the specific examination referred to in 2°.

Under the general conditions set by the Academic Authorities, students who hold a second cycle qualification, issued in or outside the French Community, which does not give them access to an Advanced Master’s programme by virtue of the preceding paragraph, may nevertheless be admitted by the Board for the studies in question, under the additional conditions it sets, as long as all the higher education studies they have completed or the skills they have acquired have been validated by the Board for at least 240 credits.

As an exception to these general conditions and the additional conditions they set, academic authorities may also admit to Advanced Master’s programmes holders of a qualification issued outside the French Community which, in the original system, gives direct access to postgraduate studies, even if the studies leading to these degrees are not organised in distinct cycles or over at least five years.
