Some courses of study, known as "quota studies", allow only a limited number of non-resident students to be admitted. The Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine is affected by this measure, but so are the following courses:

• Bachelor of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (universities)
• Bachelor of Psychological and Educational Sciences, Speech Therapy specialization (universities)
• Bachelor of Speech Therapy (universities)
• Bachelor of Physiotherapy (universities)
• Bachelor of Audiology (universities)

A decree thus regulates the number of non-resident students who are allowed to enroll for the first time in this curriculum. In it, the number of "non-resident"students is limited to 20% of the total number of students (resident and non-resident) who enrolled for the first time in this course in the previous year, i.e. 44 for 2025-2026.

Non-resident students are selected following a draw.

The number of applications submitted by August 28, 2025 for the draw amounts to 255.

Please note that if you are a student of non-EU nationality not assimilated to Belgian nationals, you must also meet the following conditions:

• Have obtained a high school diploma within the last 3 years (i.e. by the end of the 2022-2023 academic year for admission in 2025-2026).
• Have obtained an average of at least 13/20 or 65% in the secondary school leaving diploma.

Important notes:

• You can only submit one application for one of the restricted courses AND at one university in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Learn more. (Students who violate this provision will be excluded from the higher education institution to which they would have been admitted for one of the quota courses.),
• Files submitted incomplete will be automatically refused.

When submitting your application, you must gather all the documents to be provided (listed in the "non-resident" form below), log in to the specific application submission platform by creating an account there.

Once your "non-resident" application has been uploaded to the application submission platform, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt with a copy of the application submitted and the number assigned to it for the draw.
