Low Countries Studies

What is LCS?


Low Countries Studies is a post academic acculturation programme for exchange students and other foreign students and researchers, who want to learn more about Flanders, Belgium and the Netherlands. The students are given a broad overview of various aspects of Flemish society (language, art and culture, history, the media, the Flemish landscape, town and country planning, etc ...) and everyday customs in Flanders.

The Low Countries Studies programme does not lead to a degree, only to a certificate. The programme is not a full-time degree programme and cannot be used to gain access to university studies. If you are a student, you need to follow it as an additional programme. Since this is a post academic programme, there is no ECTS credits to be obtained.
