• Complete the online application and upload your documents – this allows the admission team to review your academic background.

• 26 April 2026 for Dutch or Flemish diploma holders.

• Check your emails regularly and respond if contacted by UCLL – the International Office may request additional information or missing documents. 
• Provide the requested details or files – this ensures that your application can be reviewed and processed without delays. 
  

Your application is reviewed by the UCLL International Office. Dutch and Flemish applicants who meet the requirements are accepted automatically, while other applications are reviewed manually. If accepted, you will receive an email with instructions on how to enrol at your chosen first-year partner and confirm your participation in the BME programme. 

After receiving approval from UCLL (Step 3), you can complete your application at your selected first-year partner institution. This step becomes available once your UCLL application has been approved.
