Admissions and fees
Applying to UIBS Antwerp
How admission, student visas and program fees work for the Antwerp campus.
Apply
Admission is rolling, with no application deadlines and up to 8 start dates a year. Apply online and upload your documents in digital form; we advise applying about 1 month before your start date. You can also ask for a transfer credit evaluation first.
Student visa

Living costs, housing, travel and insurance are not included, and scholarships are limited.

Is UIBS Antwerp accredited?
UIBS is part of United Institute, which is institutionally accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC), an agency listed on the European Quality Assurance Register (EQAR). Several of our studies also hold programmatic accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), an agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in the USA.
Local quality labels: Our Antwerp campus holds the Qfor quality label and is registered with the Flemish Ministry of Economic Affairs for the KMO-portefeuille subsidy program.
Local status: Most of our studies lead to Swiss private qualifications awarded by our headquarters, and our school and studies do not follow the Belgian education model. That is why our Antwerp campus is not registered with or recognized by the local Ministry of Education, and is not accredited by the local accreditation agency. Local quality labels do not change that.
Do I need to speak Dutch to study at UIBS Antwerp?
No. UIBS teaches its studies in English, so you can study in Antwerp without Dutch. Some Dutch still helps in daily life.
Can I start in Antwerp and move to another campus?
Yes. You can transfer between campuses each quarter, across 9 city-center campuses in Europe and Tokyo, or continue online.
Can I visit the Antwerp campus?
Yes, by appointment. We ask you to schedule every campus visit and trial class, so an advisor is available for your questions.
Accreditation
United Institute is institutionally accredited by the EQAR-listed British Accreditation Council (BAC). UIBS further holds programmatic accreditation from the EQAR-listed Fundación para el Conocimiento Madri+d for its Professional (Post)Graduate studies, and from the CHEA-recognized Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) for several of its Undergraduate and (Post)Graduate studies.
