Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
Preference will be given to applicants who already have a first master's degree. The minimum requirement for admission is a bachelor's degree, provided that this degree leads to employability in the relevant labour market. In particular with respect to the legal profession, stricter job qualifying criteria (first master's degree) may be required by national regulations. Applicants with a bachelor's degree only need to provide proof that this degree is an appropriate level of qualification for the labour market in their home country.
Besides graduates in Law or Economics, applicants with a first degree in business administration or in social sciences may also apply under the condition that the completed study programme includes a substantial number of courses in law and/or economics. The above requirement with respect to employability in the labour market equally applies. There is a separate application procedure for European students and for Third Country students.
Information on admission requirements and the administrative procedure for admission on the basis of a diploma obtained abroad, can be found on the following page: https://www.ugent.be/prospect/en/administration/enrolment-or-registration.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
