What diploma do you need to enroll in the bachelor's programme?
· For Belgium, the diploma of secondary education or equivalent applies.
· For the Netherlands, the VWO diploma and the HBO propaedeuse apply. This means that a HAVO diploma and MBO diploma do not give access to the bachelor's programme.
· For all other countries, the diploma that gives access to university studies in the country of origin applies. A non-exhaustive overview of foreign study certificates can be found in the Overview of foreign diplomas. If your degree is not in this list or if you obtained a diploma outside the EU, please send an e-mail to admission@ap.be (see below).
Detailed information on the diploma requirements can be found in the Education and Examination Regulations (EER Art. 7.2.).
How to apply for recognition of your degree?
If you have obtained a degree outside the EU that is not included in the list above, you can apply for recognition of your degree. The AP Student Center will examine your application and inform you of the decision.
You submit the following documents to the Student Centre by 15 October 2024 at the latest via e-mail (admission@ap.be):
· a legalised copy of your diploma;
· a certified Dutch translation of your diploma, if it is in a language other than Dutch, French, English or German.
Having doubts whether your degree gives you admission? If so, send an e-mail with a copy of your diploma to admission@ap.be and we will let you know as soon as possible.
Do you have a Chinese diploma?
If you want to study in Belgium with a Chinese diploma, you need to go through an APS screening in Beijing. The APS screening is not an academic selection procedure but is designed to prevent document fraud and ensure sufficient language knowledge. You will also need the APS certificate to obtain a student visa from the Belgian embassy or consulate in China.
