General requirements

Applicants should hold a university-level Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Economic Policy, or equivalent. This degree should be academic, as opposed to a technical or professional degree. When starting the Master’s programme, students should provide evidence of an intermediate competence in microeconomics and macroeconomics and proof of a background in introductory econometrics.

Since the programme is taught in English, candidates with a prior degree issued outside Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxembourg are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English. They can do so in two ways:

Either by submitting a language certificate showing their TOEFL iBT, IELTS, ITACE or Cambridge English certificate (the level required can be checked on: www.uantwerpen.be/admission)

Or by submitting proof that your prior university degree was taught in English, provided that the transcripts confirm that the entire study was completed in English.
