Apply

We are now accepting applications for the fifth edition of the PG School of Thinking (cohort Tau, 2024-2025).

In order to book a place, please send your application letter to the program director. Your short (email) letter should cover the four points mentioned above. Application letters are being reviewed continuously, on a first-come, first-served basis, until the following deadlines:

• 27th September 2024: for MA/MSc graduates from Flemish universities;
• 29th August 2024: for all other applicants.

Tuition fee

The tuition fee for the full postgraduate programme, if completed within one academic year, amounts to €4.490. In case a student does not complete the program within one academic year and needs to continue a second year, a fee of €850 is charged for each additional year.

Please note that if you have a non-Belgian diploma, you will be charged a €50 application fee in the initial steps of your formal registration. This fee will be later deducted from your tuition fee, so the overall cost of participation in the programme will remain unchanged.

The tuition fees are invoiced after the formal registration process is complete (usually no sooner than in October). Tuition fees are non-refundable.

Are there any other conditions?

No, there are no other conditions to consider when starting the School of Thinking programme.
