In one year you will transform into a Global Citizen, an open-minded professional who can cooperate with people from different backgrounds and make future proof decisions.

If you're an international student living outside the EU or EEA, you will need a visa to be able to study in Belgium. We advice you to start the application as soon as you have been admitted to one of our programs as the process often takes weeks or months. Three months before the start of the academic year gives you enough time to complete this process.
Upon your admission, we require a 3000 euro deposit to secure your place in the program. When you are officially enrolled, we will issue a letter to support your VISA application.
First step is to go to the website of the Belgian Embassy in your own country and start gathering the necessary documents. You can find an overview of Belgian Embassies on their website.
Before handing in your application, make sure that you have paid the necessary fee stipulated by the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The fee that applies to you is the one for "students who will be enrolled in an educational establishment organized, accredited or subsidized by the Government". The application fee is non-refundable.
In the event that your VISA application is denied, we will refund your €3000 deposit, only deducting an administrative fee of €150
There are different ways of funding your education. Please check out the program pages on the website of Antwerp Management School.

This year has been incredible – the end of the year global leadership day review has really made me appreciate how diverse our group has been, how much we have achieved and how collaborative our group has been. I am excited to see what we all go on to achieve. Some advice for future students: network as much as you can! Embrace the many different nationalities in your group and see the opportunities to make friends and professional contacts from all over the world.
