If you are an applicant originally from Belgium currently studying in a Canadian institution, please select your current or last school system for information specific to your profile.
Belgium
Each year, many students from Belgium come to the University of Ottawa for a Canadian degree. They come because of the reputation the Canadian education system enjoys, and in particular, because of the University of Ottawa’s unique multicultural and bilingual (English and French) environment.
Located in the heart of Canada’s capital, the University of Ottawa offers the best of both worlds: students can live and study in French or English and still have the opportunity to become fully bilingual.

Determine whether you’re eligible for transfer credits
If you are applying for an undergraduate program and you have completed some university studies, you will be evaluated based on them.
We may grant you transfer credits, depending on the program to which you apply. Faculties that grant transfer credits will base their decision on the discipline, the courses you have completed and the length of your studies.
