2:04
still can be um quite pricey for a lot
2:06
of people. Anyway, to start off, we go
2:10
here in the admission section and here
2:13
we choose bachelor international
2:14
students admission page which will take
2:17
us to the university's application or

2:22
students wishes to obtain diploma or
2:26
degree at Gant University. Here we have
2:28
admission, diploma and language
2:29
requirements. How to apply as a degree
2:31
student standard procedure for
2:33
international students and for Chinese.
2:36
First, we're going to go through let's
2:38
look at the diploma and language
2:40
requirements. Let's click on this one.
2:42
Before starting the online application,
2:44
it is important to be well aware of the
2:46
ad admission requirements you need to
2:47
meet in order to enroll. Start by making
2:49
a well-informed choice of study uh study
2:52
guide. You can just click here to go get
2:54
information about different programs.
2:56
Um, obviously that would depend on a
2:58
program, so I'm not going to go into
2:59
that a lot. In brief, all bachelor
3:01
programs are taught in Dutch. English is
3:04
the language of instruction in a number
3:06
of master programs. The common language
3:07
in doctoral schools in is English. So
3:10
yeah, if you are applying for a
3:11
bachelor's program, pretty much all of
3:13
them are taught in Dutch. Now uh so you
3:16
can click here to see the language
3:18
requirements for bachelor. Uh at B2 is
3:21
required upon enrollment. C1 is required
3:24
for Bachelor of Arts, etc., etc. And
3:26
here we have accepted language proofs.
3:28
Uh you can look into these. They have
3:30
tests as well. We're going to see them
3:32
while applying to the university. Right
3:34
now, we have basic diploma. Admission is
3:37
granted on the basis of a diploma
3:39
irrelevant of your nationality. Most
3:41
qualifications uh now it says irrelevant
3:43
of your nationality, but it kind of
3:45
depends on what country you're from,
3:47
which means what qualification you have.
3:49
Obviously, most qualifications obtained
3:51
abroad do not get grant direct
3:53
admission. This means that diploma is
3:56
not automatically recognized as
3:58
equivalent to a Flemish diploma. and an
4:00
admission can be granted after an
4:02
individual application procedure. So
4:05
keep that in mind. During the
4:06
application procedure, we will assess
4:08
the basic diploma and we will check if
4:10
you have acquired the same or equivalent
4:12
competences as a student with a Flemish
4:14
diploma with direct access. So basically
4:17
if you have a Flemish diploma, you get
4:19
direct access but otherwise
4:21
they will have to check to check the
4:23
admission requirements of the program.
4:24
of your interest, please go. Again,
4:27
basically these are like programs guide
4:29
for programs. Okay. So, please check the
4:31
diploma requirements applicable to you
4:33
by selecting the type of program you
4:34
want to apply. So, bachelor's program,
4:37
right? Okay. If your diploma is listed
4:39
here below, you will need to start up
4:41
your enrollment application online. You
4:43
will be required to upload a certified
4:45
true copy of this diploma and its trans
4:48
transcripts. Your diploma is considered
4:50
equivalent to the FA Flemish diploma of
4:51
a secondary education and admissions
4:53
will be approved from as soon as your
4:55
enrollment application is complete. Uh,
4:57
of course, language requirements too.
4:59
Now here we have a Belgian degree,
5:02
Flemish diploma, a foreign declared
5:04
equivalent by NIC,
5:08
foreign university bachelor or master
5:10
diploma correctly certified. Now a lot
5:12
of you will probably be in this section.
5:15
a diploma or degree certificate from
5:17
abroad from this list of equivalent
5:20
secondary education qualifications.
5:21
Basically, you'll come here, you'll find
5:24
your own country, right? And then you'll
5:27
see like if that's what you have. For
5:28
example, I'm from Turkey and in Turkey,
5:30
it's high school diploma. And then you
5:32
have some other countries as well here.
5:34
So now I know that I can apply for an
5:37
enrollment with a high school diploma or
5:40
diploma is in Turkish. Now, if you don't
5:42
have one of those, your secondary school
5:44
qualification is not listed under direct
5:46
admission here. You cannot be granted
5:48
direct admission and will need to submit
5:50
a complete application for evaluation.
5:52
Now, if your qualification allows you to
5:54
enroll in the same program in your home
5:56
country, you may be eligible to apply
5:58
for that program at Gant University.
6:00
Basically, however, we must check
6:02
whether it is equivalent in level to the
6:05
Flemish Flemish dipl Flemish secondary
6:07
education qualification. This means your
6:09
diploma shall demonstrate similar skills
6:11
and competence. So basically it's pretty
6:13
much the same process but you'll have to
6:16
apply have to upload something a couple
6:19
something additional. Most diplomas that
6:22
are not on the list are not considered
6:24
equivalent. In that case you will need
6:25
to provide proof of at least one
6:27
successful year of university level
6:29
studies in addition to your secondary
6:31
school diploma. First you still will
6:34
have to apply pretty much the same uh
6:36
here and then they will evaluate they'll
6:39
see your diploma and say okay this is
6:41
not really equivalent so you will have
6:43
to go through this this and this. So,
6:45
this is pretty much the same application
6:47
procedure, right? And here we can start
6:50
our application here, right? Maybe if
6:52
you have like the the the equivalent
6:54
degree or you're going to apply, you're
6:56
going to upload your degree and see if
6:58
it's equivalent. If it's not equivalent,
7:00
you're going to go through like whole
7:01
another year, etc., etc., etc. Right?
7:04
So, here we're going to create our
7:06
account. This is their application
7:07
portal. I'm going to use an email. I'm
7:09
going to use a temporary email. Next, uh
7:12
they've just sent me a code. I'm going
7:14
to use that. And here it is. Okay.
7:17
Permission requested by etc., etc.
7:19
Continue. Your account is not yet ready.
7:22
Can take up to 20 seconds. Continue and
7:25
try again. Not ready yet. Guess we're
7:27
going to have to wait for 20 seconds.
7:32
Okay, now we're ready to start our
7:34
personal information. This is just uh
7:36
finishing our our registration for a new
7:39
account. So, I'm going to now give them
7:40
some fake information. But don't worry,
7:42
I'm not going to send the application uh
7:45
submit the application in the end
7:46
anyway. So this is just for
7:47
demonstration purposes. So just some
7:49
random information. Okay. Nationality,
7:51

apply for the program The deadline for
12:28
the chosen study program passed on 2024
12:31

13:11
Score. I don't even know what score is
13:14
the highest for this particular test
13:16
certificate. Uh save and close. Okay. So
13:18
we have added our language certificate
13:21

13:28
requirements here as you can see. Right.
13:31

indecent light. From incident light.
14:06
Okay. Use your smartphone. Do not take
14:09
take a selfie. Have someone else take
14:11
the picture. Her face must be clear. And
14:14
you get the idea. Okay. I've chosen
14:16
something random. Save and continue. So
14:19
this is how it's going to look in our
14:20
student card if we get in. Confirm.
14:24
Gender. I'm pretty sure I've chosen
14:26

14:47
anything. Save and continue. Okay. So,
14:50
this is our uh contact information,
14:52
emergency contact information. Of
14:54
course, you need to make sure that
14:55
you've given the correct information uh
14:58
because it's like in case of an
14:59
emergency, you wouldn't want them to not
15:01
be able to reach whichever person this
15:03
is. Next, how did you learn about the
15:06
program you're applying for? Um, I don't
15:09
know. How about this? Is your diploma
15:11
mentioned on the list? So, mine was. So,

17:32
application this one or you can create a

details
17:39
etc etc. Right now it is not submitted
17:42
right maybe your u diploma is not really
17:45
equivalent so they're going to let you
17:47
know about that etc etc. But that's

pretty much as far as I can go. I hope
17:51
you found this video informative. If you
17:53
did, please be sure to give us a like
17:54

17:59
videos about scholarship, studying
18:01
abroad, that type of thing. And yeah,
18:03
that's pretty much it. See you in the
