We have a large community of international students here at Solent University and understand that the process of relocating to a new country can be challenging. Students coming from Belgium can find a range of advice about obtaining a visa and studying in the UK right here on the Solent website.
For more specific advice about coming from Belgium to study, please see the information below. Alternatively, you can contact the British Council's Belgium offices or our own international advice team.

As a general guide, we look for qualifications that are equivalent to the British high school A-levels. A portfolio is also required for most of our art and design courses.
Students should hold either:
- Diploma van Secundair Onderwijs,
- Certificate d'Enseignement Secondaire Superieur, or

For postgraduate courses, we look for qualifications that are equivalent to the British bachelor's degree, such as:
- Bachelor's degree,
- Lecentiaat, or
- Licencié
Visa information
Students from inside the EU, EEA and Switzerland could enter the UK freely by showing their passport or national identity card until 31 December 2020.
If you entered the UK prior to 31 December 2020 you will not require a visa, provided you apply for the EU Settlement Scheme before 30 June 2021. If you are a family member of an individual who has EU Settlement Status, you may also be eligible to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme. More information about the EU Settlement Scheme and family members can be found on the student portal.
