Information for refugees from Ukraine

The Belgian Government has decided that Ukrainian nationals seeking refuge in Belgium will receive temporary protection with immediate effect. Many Ukrainian students are looking for opportunities to start or continue their university studies elsewhere.

These are the options at KdG:

• English-taught bachelor’s programmes
• Dutch-taught bachelor’s programmes. A good knowledge of the Dutch language is required to enrol in these programmes. A yearlong intensive Dutch language programme can help you prepare for them. Read the admission criteria. 
• The next intake for these programmes is September 2024. There is no application deadline.
• Credits transfers from your current programme into our September 2024 intake may be possible. Due to the project-based approach at KdG, transfering into a current study programme is not an option.

• There is no application deadline for the international Bachelor’s programmes.
