Tuition fees at UAntwerp are reasonable by international standards, especially for EEA students. Non-EEA students pay a higher rate — which is exactly where scholarships and incentives make a difference. The estimated cost of living in Belgium is around €16 000 per year.

Yes - UAntwerp offers several options: programmes where we participate in the selection (Master Mind, Erasmus Mundus, VLIRUOS and DFL), our own High Potential Incentive for outstanding non-EEA Master's students, and links to external funding. Scholarships are available at Bachelor's, Master's and PhD level.

UAntwerp does not offer fully-funded scholarships. An Erasmus Mundus scholarship is a fully funded scholarship from the European Commission, awarded to students participating in an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master, in which the University of Antwerp is involved as a partner institution.​

It depends on the scholarship. For Master Mind, VLIRUOS, Erasmus Mundus and DFL, a formal application is required. For Master Mind and VLIRUOS, UAntwerp submits that application on your behalf, so contact us early. For the High Potential Incentive, no additional application or action is required. The incentive is granted after successful screening by the faculty following your admission.
