An Erasmus student in Brussels

Brussels, a student city above all!

Brussels, the capital of Europe, is an ideal destination for an Erasmus. Less that 1h30 by train far away from Paris and only 2h30 from London. Gastronomy, delicacies, architecture, culture, accommodation… everything is there. It is the beer capital of the world, but not only!

Why do an Erasmus in Brussels?

🏙️ A warm and welcoming city

Brussels combines a village-like atmosphere with a strong cosmopolitan identity. Its lifestyle and rich cultural scene are highly appreciated by international visitors.

🌍 An experience full of discoveries

Universities or colleges for your Erasmus program in Brussels?

It is important to understand the differences between the university and the universities in order to choose the most appropriate one for your projects. Universities organise short courses (a three-year cycle: the professionalizing bachelor’s degree) and long courses (a three-year cycle: the transitional bachelor’s degree, followed by a two-year cycle – sometimes one or three – the master’s degree). Universities only organise long training courses.
