Specific access requirements
1° Hold an undergraduate university degree or hold a diploma of the same academic grade but for another purpose.
2° Provide proof of sufficient mastery of the French language (level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference, DELF test).
3° All students who do not access the master's degree via the bachelor's degree in information and communication at UCLouvain will be required to provide proof of sufficient mastery of English (level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference) .
4° As part of the LANGL2601 C course, students will be required to complete a language level test at the start of the term. Students who fail this will be directed to the LANGL1330 course as a prerequisite. In this case, they will include the LANGL2601 course in their program in the second year of their master's degree.
5° This master's degree is not linked to a specific baccalaureate (so-called "orphan" master's degree), admission is only based on file examination. Depending on the student's previous experience and the missing prerequisites, the jury may add additional training of a maximum of 60 credits to the Master's program (see list in the Additional Access Conditions). The teaching units included in this list are indicative. Depending on the student's previous experience, other units could be added to this list, without however being able to exceed 60 credits.
The student who has followed, in his bachelor's program, the minor in digital technologies and society (MINSTIC) will have direct access to the master's degree.
Equivalences between courses are subject to the approval of the jury.

Access based on validation of professional experience
> It is possible, under certain conditions, to use one's personal and professional experience to enter a university course without having the required qualifications. However, validation of prior experience does not automatically apply to all courses. Find out more about Validation of priori experience.
Adults with professional experience will be able to register for the program based on an individualized admission procedure.
Access based on application
Access based on application : access may be granted either directly or on the condition of completing additional courses of a maximum of 60 ECTS credits, or refused.
Students holding an academic degree of 1st cycle (minimum 3 years or 180 credits) or 2nd cycle (minimum 5 years or 300 credits) in information and communication or in another human sciences discipline, delivered by a university outside Europe recognized by the AUF (see https://www.whed. net/home.php and https://www.auf.org/les_membres/nos-membres/), must have obtained at least 70% (or 14/20) average for all the academic years of their 1st cycle successfully completed in their home university to have the possibility of applying for admission to the master's program in information and communication sciences and technologies (120).
Any application for admission must be accompanied by a cover letter which will specify the specialized purpose. She will justify this choice with an argument concerning 3 teaching units of the chosen purpose.
These criteria will be strictly applied, which means that applications which do not meet them will be automatically excluded.
Admitted students will follow the 120 credits of the master's degree in their entirety.
If their previous course is considered incomplete, additional courses can be added to their program (maximum 60 credits).
