To qualify to study in Belgium, it is essential to meet relevant requirements in (1) academic credentials, (2) linguistic skills, (3) academic objectives and (4) financial resources. Let us review these four points:

1. Academic credentials
Equivalence and admissibility of degrees will be assessed according to Belgian law and individual university regulations. Please submit a copy of your degree with a translation to the chosen university's admission boards.

2. Language skills
Chinese students who wish to follow courses in Dutch or French must realize that a superficial knowledge of the language will not do. The ability to speak Dutch or French is imperative in order to follow lectures and to pass examinations. A preparatory year of language instruction is available in some universities for already enrolled students. Please apply for information at the university of your choice.

Students who wish to attend lectures in English (post-academic training international courses) must of course have a good command of that language. Universities will inform you about their individual TOEFL requirements.

3. Programs
Belgian universities offer basic academic courses, advance academic training courses, doctoral programs, post-academic training and various international study programs (Master's) in the fields of technology, law, economics and applied economics, political and social sciences, dentistry, pharmaceutical sciences, language and literature/history, archaeology and art sciences, psychology and educational sciences, medial sciences, engineering and applied biological sciences.

4. Financing
Although precise determination of study and living expenses depends on individual life style, one can assess that about 350,000 Belgian Francs (BEF) (about 88,000 RMB) is necessary for one year's study. This amount should include books, housing, food, transport, and health insurance. It does not include registration fees which can vary from about 25,000 BEF for a student under scholarship to 290,000 BEF for a self financing student, according to the chosen study program.
