A List of Educational Establishments in Belgium

As a mentor to students seeking to pursue higher education, it can be a mammoth task trying to figure out different universities available in the country you intend to study. Going through search engines can unravel some, but usually, many websites simply repeat the lists.

As such, there arises a situation where majority of international students apply to colleges or universities which they find online, whereas the under publicized institutions get fewer applications from international students. If you are an international student, and you are looking for universities in Belgium which are not very popular, below are a few. Note that the list is not exhaustive and it is based on my online search of less popular universities/colleges in Belgium.  I think many institutions open applications for

IELTS Test an Extra Cost to International Students from Sub Sahara Africa

Are you looking to study abroad and IELTS test is a bother? Read the various ways you can navigate yourself around it and know the universities which do not require one. Many international students I have worked with over the years know just how annoying it can be to be asked an IELTS test after studying in English in one's entire educational life time.

I recall when I was about to undertake my studies in South Africa, the Admission Officer called me up for a discussion to determine my level of proficiency. I was also sent an article to read and answer questions. It was a great way of evaluating my English language proficiency without putting any financial strain on me. I think this can be used by universities across the globe or an agency can work with universities to determine their language proficiency at a mi
