Details
The Flemish Ministry of Education and Training awards scholarships for master's programmes in Flanders and Brussels to outstanding students from around the world. The programme aims to promote Flanders and Brussels as a top study destination. Applications are submitted by the Flemish host institution, not directly by the student. Students must first apply to the host institution and express interest in the scholarship. The duration of mobility is one academic year for a Master programme of 60 ECTS and two academic years for a Master programme of 120 ECTS.
