Key information for setting up collaborations with our higher education institutions
Belgian qualifications recognised worldwide
In French-speaking Belgium, higher education is based on a system of three cycles of studies: the bachelor’s degree, the master’s degree and the PhD. Each qualification obtained gives you ECTS credits, which are recognised in numerous countries in both the European Union and worldwide. As an adhering member of this system, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation is committed to guaranteeing the quality of higher education, promoting student mobility and strengthening the globalisation of its higher education.
How higher education works
The award of the qualifications (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and PhD) is linked to the number of years of studies completed since entering higher education. Each year can award up to 60 ECTS credits (European Credits Transfer System), which can be used and transferred from one country to another.→ A 1st cycle qualification (bachelor’s degree) represents 180 or 240 ECTS credits,
namely 3 to 4 years of study.→ A 2nd cycle qualification (master’s degree) represents 60 or 180 ECTS credits,
namely 1 to 3 years of study.→ A 3rd cycle qualification (PhD) represents a variable number of ECTS.
60 credits ECTS = 1 academic year
1 credit = 30 hours of learning activities (lectures, practical courses,
personal work, work experience...).

Universities in French-speaking Belgium
Theoretical and scientific education
Spread throughout the Wallonia-Brussels Federation territory, the French-speaking universities of Belgium offer their students quality education. The options are divided up into four fields of study: science and technology, human sciences, health sciences and art.
Research at the heart of the French-speaking Belgian university course
In addition to in-depth knowledge of the chosen subject, the Wallonian and Brussels based universities offer a solid general education, encouraging their students to take a scientific approach. This is why the focus is firmly on research, both basic and applied. And it is this philosophy that makes the universities of French-speaking Belgium institutions that are famous for the excellence of their research programmes and have earned them a remarkable reputation both in our country and beyond. As indeed is proven by the numerous Nobel prize winners who have come out of our institutions: 4 Nobel prize-winners for medicine, 3 for peace, 1 for literature, 1 for chemistry and 1 for physics!
How are university studies organised?
The universities offer long-term education programmes made up of two cycles:→ a 1st cycle (180 ECTS credits) that takes the students up to “transitional” bachelor’s
degree level, i.e. its main aim is to prepare for the master degree that follows;→ a 2nd cycle, leading to a master degree (120 to 180 ECTS credits).These two cycles can be followed by a 3rd, a PhD.

Practical, professional education
All the French-speaking university colleges of Belgium offer a quality education, liaising closely with applied research, universities, and socio-professional environments.

→ Studies organised into one or two cycles, leading to an advanced bachelor’s degree. This can be obtained after having successfully completed an initial bachelor’s or master’s degree. The specialised bachelor’s degree contains at least 60 ECTS credits.

While building on its prestigious past, the current work of the Conservatoire looks to the future, with a focus on delivering high quality education.

The tradition of the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles is maintained by a faculty of the highest quality both in terms of teaching skills and as performers in their own right.
The teaching methods have continually evolved in order to help our student musicians and actors fully develop their potential and find their own, individual, artistic pathway. In particular, teaching has been reformed and new courses introduced in line with the changing requirements of artistic and professional life. To this end, new departments have been created, such as the Jazz department, the Early Music department, or, more recently, the department of Pedagogy and the departement of Rhythms and rhythmics.
Today, the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles has just over 650 students who come from five continents - 75% from outside Belgium - and they are taught by around 230 teachers.

The Royal Conservatoire of Liège has steadily worked on its structure and developed over the course of the XXth century. In 1930, the school’s Theatre section was created. Since the 1970s, especially on the initiative of Henri Pousseur, the school has become a wonderful place for contemporary creation, in music and theatre alike. An artistic institution of international renown, it now hosts more than 350 students and has about one hundred tutors.

Contact person for international relations:Cécile THUILLIER: [email protected]
ESA Saint-Luc* seeks to provide both consistent and demanding training to creators overseen by theoreticians, researchers and tutors in the artistic fields taught.
Combining education and training in creation, the ESA Saint-Luc in Brussels offers teaching and research programmes focussing on the fields of design, living and interior furnishings, eco-design, innovation policies and even new methods of graphic and visual communication and contemporary narration, including digital. Our programmes incite both practice and reflection, with the aim of giving students a solid general culture as well as the critical tools necessary for practising their discipline.
The ESA Saint-Luc is a school that does not shy away from work and requirement, but nor is it closed to pleasure. It is a school that encourages students to spread their wings, yet will not lie to them about their future destiny or lure them into art, assuming its role as maker of autonomy and production. It is more than aware of its responsibility for training students for their future professions.
Our aim is to train responsible practitioners competent in their field, to introduce them to the particular role of creators, to open up their minds to the quality of the profession and more broadly, to raise their awareness of the society in which they will be led to operate.
*The École Saint-Luc is a School of Arts which belongs to the fully-fledged subsidised free system (Federation Wallonia-Brussels). It is one of the 4 Schools which belongs to the ASBL Comité organisateur des Instituts Saint-Luc in Saint-Gilles.

The INSAS is a school of arts (ESA) of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation network established in 1962, based in Brussels and which teaches performing arts (audiovisual and theatre). Teaching has always been based on the principle that professionals need to be trained in all areas, but also that learning performing arts is hinged on the principle of a complementary nature.
Teaching is delivered by professionals operating in the creative domain, who convey their knowledge ensuring that technical areas are kept constantly up-to-date and critical reflection is guaranteed on technical and conceptual evolution.
The cinema options run by INSAS include one longer-term and three short-term technical options (image, sound, editing/script). In the theatre options, there is a long-term dramatic interpretation option and a long-term stage technique and staging option.
Taking a common approach to artistic work, INSAS privileges learning instrumental practices and reflecting as part of a team. Classes have no more than fifteen students, making teaching based on a direct, often individual relationship between the professor and the student.
