Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
Students wishing to start in the Master of Science in Global Health should have a master's degree; a strong motivation and demonstrate basic insight in the field of Global Health.
Prospective students will need to submit a personal motivation letter in English. The personal motivation letter should include: i) a critical reflection on the contribution of the candidate's field (his/her master degree, work experience) to the field of Global Health (max. 400 words); ii) the candidate’s expectations regarding the course (max. 400 words); and iii) an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis) with which the candidate positions himself / herself in Global Health studies (max. 400 words). The letter and the personal SWOT analysis will be independently evaluated by 2 persons – care will be taken that evaluators are familiar with the country of residence and discipline of the candidate.
