This useful experience must correspond to at least five years of activities, excluding years of higher education study that were not passed. At the end of an assessment procedure organized by the academic authorities, the Examination Board will decide whether a student has sufficient knowledge and skills to successfully pursue Master’s studies." 
• Access to the preparatory year on the basis of accreditation of 180 ECTS credits by the Admissions Board (personalized admission based on application)for students who have a degree from a Belgian university or qualifications obtained abroad (which do not give access to this particular year on the basis of the abovementioned general conditions).
