Hi everyone, it's Global Scholarships and I'm your host, As
0:03
And today's video is for people who want to study in Belgium but don't want to break the bank
0:07
So, let's get to it. Belgium may be a small country, but it's packed with many educational offers for local and international students alike
0:15
Many of its universities are top rank with some offering English thought courses
0:19
It's one of the most affordable European countries to live in too. You know, compared to Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway
0:25
As such, if you want to study for free, then Belgium should be one of your top country
0:29
So, how much does it cost to study in Belgium? When it comes to an annual cost, the money needed to study in Belgium for the entire year is
0:38
around 11 to 15,000 euros, which is between 12,000 and 16,000 US dollars
0:43
However, this cost range is an estimated amount based on a research study done for bachelor's degree
0:49
students studying at a particular institution with a specific major, which means the estimated
0:53
amount for you might be significantly lower or higher based on your personal standard of living
0:59
Now, one question a lot of you might have is, can you study in English at Belgium University
1:05
The answer is yes, since the programs for international students are always taught in English
1:10
But since the official languages of Belgium are three languages which are Dutch, German, and French
1:16
please keep in mind that you might be missing out on a wide array of high-quality courses due to your lack of language proficiency
1:22
If you want to study a particular course thought by Belgium universities, check out to available programs offered by institutions in Belgium and check to see if your favorite program is offered in English Okay so how do we study in Belgium for free Now the first thing is to get good grades and letters of recommendation
1:39
It's important to file your application early as there are many documents to complete
1:43
which include certifications that may need to be evaluated in your home country
1:47
You may also have to submit your qualifications and a letter detailing your interests in studying in Belgium
1:53
In Belgium, enrollments close by April because of this international. students are advised to send their applications by February or March since the processing
2:01
can take several weeks. Number two, apply for scholarships from universities in Belgium
2:07
Many Belgian universities offer scholarships to international students. Now such bursaries are usually funded by organizations such as European Research Council
2:15
or the Meri Curie Foundation or Ajanus Universitae-Alte-Francophonie. Number three, applied affordable universities in Belgium
2:22
Belgium is an inexpensive place to study in, as its international student tuition only
2:26
costs about $4,900 a year. However, you may pay an even lower price by applying to more affordable
2:34
universities. A good example is the University of Nemur, which will only cost you about $1,000 annually
2:40
Okay, affordable is good, but how about studying for free? Of course, you can do that by applying
2:45
to scholarships. Now, I'll give you some examples here, but if you want more, you can go to
