Most people who study abroad probably didn’t decide this overnight. In fact, deciding to study abroad takes time and consideration and involves a fair amount of questions: from your parents, from your teachers and naturally, from you! Perhaps the most important of these questions is why you would choose to do it in the first place. Why would you forego studying in the comfort of your own home country and opt for a strange new world instead? To answer this complex question we’ve come up with a simple formula: L.I.V.E:

Learning: Versatility: When you study abroad you will learn a lot. Sure, loads of what you Being able to easily fit into different environments and work with learn will be in your lectures but you will also learn about new cultures, people from many different backgrounds is not just a wonderful thing new styles of teaching, you will learn about others, about yourself and but it also opens many doors.

There are a lot of uncertainties to choosing your education from a distance. How should you judge a university’s suitability without the benefit of local knowledge? How do you know that your education will be a good investment? Faced with all these uncertainties, lots of people turn to league tables. But league tables aren’t always the answer. There are lots of worldwide rankings to choose from, each with their own measures of success. The big three are The Times Higher Education World Rankings (THE), the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) and the QS World University Ranking (QS). THE looks primarily at research output and influence, along with some measures of the teaching environment. ARWU looks at research quality, mainly in the While league tables can provide an overview of reputation and sciences, by counting prize winners and academic citations. QS bases some insight into the quality of education you might receive, half its findings on the opinions of academics and recruiters; a further they certainly shouldn’t be the only factor you use to decide 30% is based on student-staff ratio and numbers of international staff where you’ll get an education. League tables won’t give you all and students. the answers; what they can’t tell you is how suitable a university is for you, how relevant the content of your chosen course is or whether you’ll find a graduate job at the end of it.

International students in Belgium will certainly be enriched with a well-rounded and cultured educational experience.

There is an increasing amount of English taught undergraduate and postgraduate programmes being delivered by over 40 institutions.
