Special conditions
Language examination: knowledge of the French language (Pedagogical Master’s degree)
Students with one of the following qualifications have access to studies leading to the award of a Master’s degree:
- an undergraduate (first-cycle) degree in the same field of study;
- the same Master’s (second-cycle) degree, but with a different specialization;
- a university degree, in accordance with a decision by the academic authorities and subject to the additional conditions that they lay down;
- a “long-type” degree that gives access to Master’s studies, in accordance with a decision by the Government and subject to the additional conditions that it lays down;
- a degree comparable to those mentioned above, issued under the same conditions by the Flemish Community of Belgium, the German Community of Belgium or the Royal Military Academy;
- a degree obtained abroad and deemed equivalent to those mentioned above.
By way of derogation, Master’s programmes are also open to students who, in order to obtain their undergraduate degree in the same field of study, still have to gain no more than 12 credits and are registered for those courses. However, students admitted on these terms cannot be passed by the Master’s Examination Board until they have met the admission requirements in full and have obtained the necessary undergraduate degree.
- Access to the 2nd cycle on the basis of a “short-cut”:
- Access to the 2nd cycle of university for those students who have a short-type non-university higher education degree
- Access to the 2nd cycle of university for those students who have a long-type non-university higher education degree
- Access to the 2nd cycle on the basis of the enhancement of the knowledge and competence acquired by personal and professional experience:
With the aim of acceding 2nd-cycle studies, the jury of these studies can enhance the knowledge and competence acquired by their personal and professional experience.
This useful experience must correspond to at least 5 years of activities, without taking into account the years of higher-education study that were not passed successfully. At the end of an evaluation procedure organized by the academic authorities, the jury will decide whether the skills and knowledge of the student are sufficient to be able to follow these studies successfully (*).
- For those students who have an academic grade from a Belgian university or a foreign title or grade (which does not give access to studies in this particular year on the basis of the general conditions mentioned above), access to the 2nd basic cycle on the basis of a enhancement of 180 ECTS credits by the admissions jury (personalized admission on the basis of a file). (*)
(*) At the end of the admissions procedure organized by the competent jury and subject to the conditions fixed by the academic authorities, the student may follow complementary studies that make up a maximum of 60 supplementary credits. In case the supplementary workload of this student exceeds 15 credits, this training is considered to be a preparatory year. It does not lead to a degree and is considered to be the last year of a 1st cycle that gives access to the studies aimed at.
Language examination: knowledge of the French language
No student can be admitted to any one year of a Pedagogical Master’s degree if they have not passed an examination attesting to a sufficient knowledge of the French language.
In the event of the divergence between the different linguistic versions of the present conditions, the French version shall prevail
