HUBrussel Programmes

 

HUBrussel programmes are organised by two educational divisions:

  • Professional Bachelors
  • Academic Bachelors and Masters

HUBrussel's professional programmes are geared towards professional practise and aim to prepare students for the independent exercise of a profession. They are practise-oriented and include work placements.

HUBrussel's academic Bachelor programmes are primarily geared towards further studies at Master level and as such have a solid basis in research. At the same time, however, they have a strong practical and business relevance. The same holds for Master programmes.

All HUBrussel Bachelor programmes consist of 180 European credits (ECTS) and on average take three years of full-time study. All Master programmes, with the exception of commercial engineering consist of 60 European credits and take one year of full-time study. They include a Master thesis of minimum 15 European credits.

The general admission requirements to a Bachelor programme is the Flemish diploma of secondary education. If a foreign qualification is recognised on the basis of the Flemish decree, the Belgian law, a European directive or an international convention, the holder will have direct access to a Bachelor programme.

The general admission requirement to a Master programme is a Flemish Bachelor degree in the relevant discipline or a foreign qualification which is considered equivalent to the former. If no equivalence can be established, additional requirements (such as completing a bridging programme) may apply.

An advanced Master programme is accessible only to holders of a qualification which is considered equivalent to a Flemish Master degree in the relevant discipline. In addition, for admission to a Dutch-taught programme, evidence of Dutch language fluency is required. For admission to an English-taught programme, additional admission requirements may apply. Please, check the information on this website under Programmes for international degree students.

The professional Bachelors include 4 fields of study that offer 13 undergraduate programmes:

  • Health Care (Occupational Therapy, Medical Imaging, Nursing, Optics & Optometry)
