    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 you have obtained a degree outside the EU that is not included in this overview, you can apply for recognition to the Admissions Board (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 with the admissions board? 

     

    If you have obtained a degree outside the EU that is not included in the list above, you can apply to the admissions committee for recognition of your degree. The admissions committee will examine your application and inform you of its decision.  

    You submit the following documents to the Student Centre by 15 October 2024 at the latest via e-mail (admission@ap.be):  

    ·         a completed form: Application for admission with a foreign diploma; 

    ·         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. 

    ·         a declaration from the embassy or consulate stating that with this diploma you will be admitted to a bachelor's programme in the country where you obtained the diploma. The latter is not required if it is already mentioned on the diploma itself. 

    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. 

    ·         Contact the APS administration to start this procedure: info@aps.org.cn
