From the academic year 2007-2008 onwards all students from the P.R.China will have to obtain a certificate of academic screening issued by the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS) of the German Embassy in Beijing before being allowed to enrol at any higher education institution, language course or other preparatory course in Flanders. The APS certificate is also required for obtaining a student visa to Belgium.
Students planning to study in Flanders in 2007-2008 are advised to contact the Academic Evaluation Centre in Beijing, e-mail :
info@aps.org.cn as soon as possible in order to make the necessary appointments and this before applying for a visa. The APS application form and more information can be found on the website www.aps.org.cn

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the official decision from the European Commission is known (end of March for category A grantees and end of July for category B grantees), students will be sent an official admission letter including acceptance for the course and amount of the awarded grant. Furthermore students will be informed which group they were assigned to, that is whether they are going to attend the six obligatory modules in Belgium or in Ireland.

The students should complete 10 modules over 2 semesters, a Professional Competence module over 1 semester and a project work over 1 semester. Six obligatory modules will be taught in one of the institutions: Katholieke Hogeschool Sint-Lieven in Gent/Belgium or Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) in Dublin/Ireland – depending on choice of the student and places available. Next, students will opt for four optional modules out of the eight offered by different institutions (KaHo Sint-Lieven – Gent/Belgium, DIT – Dublin/Ireland, Universidade Catolica Portuguesa – Porto/Portugal, Hochschule Anhalt – Kφthen/Germany). The choice of the optional modules should be correlated with a field of professional competence module and a project work students intend to carry out. Optional modules availability is dependent on sufficient number of participants. Depending on the selection, students may attend the optional modules in two, three or four institutions. Additionally defined parts of the MSc. course can be completed in one of the associated member institution in the Third-Country:

- The Tufts University - Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman  
  School of Nutrition Science and Policy – the USA
