This is certainly an exciting new adventure, as well as a challenging one. Thomas More students are encouraged to push themselves outside their comfort zones – to explore, to learn, to thrive – and we are here to help you make that happen! Do you ever ask yourself, “How will I find a place to live?” or “What happens if I get sick and need to see a doctor?” Then, you’ve come to the right place. Check this guide for advice on how to open a bank account, how to sign up for health insurance, how to get a Belgian phone number and more. This Welcome Guide includes a ton of great information to get you started, but once you’re on your way, the Student Portal will become your go-to place for information. This guide includes several links to the portal, so keep in mind that you will only have access once you are fully registered and have an r-number (r0xxxxxx). And if you don’t find what you need or just want a bit more guidance, that’s no problem. In the ‘student resources’ section of this guide, you will find a list of support services for students. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for help. We are here for you. Now, let’s start this new journey together! Best regards, International Support THOMAS MORE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES – WELCOME GUIDE 4 IMPORTANT CONTACTS Degree students International Support Email: [email protected] Student Services Email: [email protected] Admissions Email: [email protected] Phone: +32 15 369 205 | Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri: 9.00-16.00 | Wed: 9.00-12.00 (GMT+2) Exchange students International Office Email: [email protected] International Coordinators: find your international coordinator’s contact information at the bottom of your programme page on our website. THOMAS MORE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES – WELCOME GUIDE 5 Checklist for studying in Belgium Here you'll find a checklist of all the things you need to do before you get to Belgium and once you arrive. On the following pages, you'll find a detailed explanation of every item on the checklist. Be sure to tick every box for a smooth departure and arrival in Belgium! THOMAS MORE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES – WELCOME GUIDE 6 What should I do before I arrive? Apply for a student visa If you come from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), then applying for a student visa is the first step you will need to take before coming to Belgium. DO I NEED A STUDENT VISA? Yes, if you come from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) – other than Monaco or Switzerland – then you will need a visa before coming to Belgium for your studies. No, if you are a student coming from an EEA country, Monaco or Switzerland, you will not need a visa and may travel to Belgium on the strength of your national passport or identity card, but all other students (both exchange and full degree) will need to apply for a visa before coming to Belgium. WHEN SHOULD I START THE VISA APPLICATION PROCESS? It’s important that you start the visa application process as soon as possible but be aware that a visa application can be submitted no more than 3 months in advance of the date you have requested to enter Belgium. For Fall 2021, classes start on the 20th of September (for International Teacher, the start date is the 2nd of October), but you should plan to be in Belgium at least one week before in order to attend the Welcome Days and get settled into your accommodation. For Spring 2022, classes start on the 14th of February, but you should plan to be in Belgium at least one week before in order to attend the Welcome Days

    Wim P. Blockmans Alternatives to Monarchical Centralisation: The Great Tradition of Revolt in Flanders and Brabant One of the first deeds of the revolutionary magistrate which took power in Ghent on the 1st of November 1577, was to propose to the city of Brussels to revive the alli- ance made by Flanders and Brabant in 13391. This was concluded at the time when King Edward III was seeking support in the Low Countries in his struggle for the kingdom of France. Ghent, and the other leading towns of Flanders rejected the au- thority of their count and took sides with the king of England. It was in Ghent that Edward took the title of king of France, and that the Flemings recognised him as their sovereign2. The reference made in 1577 to these events concerns a whole political programme which the city authorities of Ghent proposed to the States General in May 1579, to be implemented if the peace negotiations with the King of Spain at Cologne were not successful3. The general tendency of this programme was the formation of a city-state system, bringing the whole county of Flanders under the control of the three great cities Ghent, Bruges and Ypres. Ghent prescribed in its own quarter - the abolition of autonomous rural districts, - the creation of a council of representatives of the towns to decide in matters of state, war and public order, - the reservation for Ghent of one third of the votes in the appointment of aldermen in the smaller towns. After the introduction of this political system in the quarter of Ghent, it would be recommended for introduction in the three other quarters of the county.

ABSTRACT. Stratigraphic analysis of cored and geophysically logged boreholes in the Kasterlee-Geel-Retie-Mol-Dessel area of the Belgian Campine has established the presence of two lithostratigraphic units between the classical Diest and Mol Formations, geometrically related to the type Kasterlee Sand occurring west of the Kasterlee village and the study area. A lower ‘clayey Kasterlee’ unit, equivalent to the lithology occurring at the top of the Beerzel and Heist-op-den-Berg hills, systematically occurs to the east of the Kasterlee village. An overlying unit has a pale colour making it lithostratigraphically comparable to Mol Sand although its fine grain size, traces of glauconite and geometrical position have traditionally led stratigraphers to consider it as a lateral variety of the type Kasterlee Sand; it has been named the ‘lower Mol’ or ‘Kasterlee-sensu-Gulinck’ unit in this study.

  • Of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun
    Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Jun Hee Cho All rights reserved ABSTRACT Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho This dissertation examines the relations between court and commerce in Europe at the onset of the modern era. Focusing on one of the most powerful princely courts of the period, the court of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, which ruled over one of the most advanced economic regions in Europe, the greater Low Countries, it argues that the Burgundian court was, both in its institutional operations and its cultural aspirations, a commercial enterprise. Based primarily on fiscal accounts, corroborated with court correspondence, municipal records, official chronicles, and contemporary literary sources, this dissertation argues that the court was fully engaged in the commercial economy and furthermore that the culture of the court, in enacting the ideals of a largely imaginary feudal past, was also presenting the ideals of a commercial future. It uncovers courtiers who, despite their low rank yet because of their market expertise, were close to the duke and in charge of acquiring and maintaining the material goods that made possible the pageants and ceremonies so central to the self- representation of the Burgundian court. It exposes the wider network of court officials, urban merchants and artisans who, tied by marriage and business relationships, together produced and managed the ducal liveries, jewelries, tapestries and finances that realized the splendor of the court.
