We have a large community of international students here at Southampton 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.
Entry requirements
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
- Diplome d'Access a l'Enseignement Superieur.
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
As an EEA national you do not need to apply for a visa to come and study in the UK.
EU financial support
