Mobility in Flanders

Improve your Dutch and be prepared for the Belgian job market !

Thanks to the exchange agreements with three excellent Flemish universities (Belgica), LSM students can choose to spend an academic semester in Flanders.

This opportunity enables students to live in immersion and improve considerably their Dutch skills. This immersion also better prepares them for the Belgian job market.

To access these destinations, you must meet the admission requirements for a regular exchange and prove a proficiency of B2 or C1 level in English. Students with a good command of Dutch (B2 level) can also choose Dutch-taught courses. Dedicated mobility grants are also available for the Belgica (via the option « my mobility » on the student virtual desk).
