How to apply for a Masters

Two requirements

To be eligible for one of our Masters programmes, applicants should meet two requirements:

1. A university degree

  • The applicant should hold an academic degree of at least 4 years normal study duration (minimum 240 ECTS credits) from an academic institution that is recognised by the relevant authorities of the home country.
  • Students do not have to wait for their final examination results to apply. However, they should obtain their degree by 1 October 2009 at the latest. Since the number of places available in each programme is limited, we strongly recommend an early application.

2. Pass the admissions process

  • The applicant should successfully complete the admissions process administered by Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School.
  • As class sizes are limited, we strongly recommend early application! However, applications will not be processed until all required documents have reached us.
  • Applicants may apply for admission in one of two equivalent ways: an on-campus assessment or a distance assessment.

On-campus assessment

Applicants should submit:

  • a solid academic record at university level, proven by a copy of your university diploma and transcripts
  • a completed application form
  • a non-refundable payment of the application fee of  50 euro
  • curriculum vitae
  • a copy of your ID + photograph

In addition, applicants should attend one of the in-house admission tests.
