Certain fields of study, known as "contingent studies," only allow a limited number of non-resident students to be admitted. The bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine is affected by this measure, as are the following programs:

• Bachelor's degree in physical therapy and rehabilitation (universities)
• Bachelor's degree in psychology and education, specializing in speech therapy (universities)
• Bachelor's degree in speech therapy (colleges)
• Bachelor's degree in physical therapy (colleges)
• Bachelor's degree in audiology (colleges)

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

Non-resident students are selected by lottery.

The number of applications submitted by August 28, 2025, for the lottery is 255.

Please note that if you are a student of non-European Union nationality who is not treated as a Belgian national, you must also meet the following conditions:

• You must have obtained a high school diploma no more than three years ago (i.e., at the end of the 2023-2024 academic year for admission in 2026-2027).
• Have obtained a minimum average of 13/20 or 65% in your high school diploma.
• Provide proof of sufficient proficiency in French, either with the Test de Connaissance du Français (TCF – Level B2), the DALF (Level C1-C2), or the DELF (minimum Level B2).

Important notes:

• You may only submit one application for one of the limited-enrollment programs AND at only 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 were admitted in one of the limited-enrollment programs.)
• Incomplete applications will be automatically rejected.

When submitting your registration application, you must gather all the required documents (listed in the "non-resident" form below), log in to the specific application submission platform, and create an account.

Once your "non-resident" application has been uploaded to the application submission platform, you will receive a confirmation email containing a copy of the submitted application and the number assigned to it for the lottery.
