VLIR-UOS awards scholarships to applicants from 31 eligible countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to attend one of 15 selected Master programmes taught in English at a Belgian (Flemish) university or university college.
The International Master Programmes (ICP) are accredited, initial or advanced Master programmes (EQF 7) of one or two years (60 or 120 ECTS) on a development-relevant subject. The programmes have a specific but non-exclusive focus on participants from the global South, with specific courses, applicable content and adapted teaching- and learning methods. Each programme is supported with twelve scholarships.
A call for scholarship applications is launched every year in November. The deadline for submission depends on the training or Master programme you are applying for.
VLIR-UOS provides full scholarships for the total duration of the Master programme. It is not possible to apply for a partial scholarship.
