How does the admission procedure work?

Your admission depends on which programme you want and what background you have:

  • You have a Flemish secondary education diploma and you want to enrol in a full programme at Thomas More; then you can just register here 
  • For a Dutch programme: You have a secondary education diploma from another country (incl. from Wallonia) and you want to enrol in a full programme at Thomas More; then you can send in an application here 
  • You already have a higher education diploma (bachelor or master) or you have already studied at bachelor's or master's level and want to obtain a diploma at Thomas More; then get in touch and we will assess whether or not you can have some exemptions and / or gain access to a shortened programme. Contact MaxiPAC or toon.vrelust@thomasmore.be 
  • For an English programme: You have a secondary education diploma from another country (incl. from Wallonia) and you want to enrol in a full programme at Thomas More; then you can send in an application here 

How can I best prepare?

  • Ensure a good language level.
  • Compile a strong file (with diplomas with possible translation and/or recognition, work experience, etc.)
  • English speakers can participate in the (English language) summer school to get to know Thomas More and Flanders better.
  • Request a guest account so that you already have access to the campus, the library... so you can already feel part of the Thomas More community.
