Additional admission requirements

The general admission requirement for the bachelor's programmes and the graduate programme is a Flemish secondary education diploma. Diplomas from abroad must always be assessed by the academic advisor (katrien.fauville@ehb.be).

Bridging Programmes

A bridging programme is designed for students who have obtained a professional bachelor's degree and wish to pursue an academic master's programme. This programme ensures that they can start a master's degree with the same foundational knowledge as academic bachelor graduates. RITCS offers a bridging programme specifically for the Bachelor in Audiovisual Arts: Writing and Radio.

The bridging programme consists of 45 to 90 study credits, which can be reduced depending on the student's prior education. No fixed pathway has been developed; each application is reviewed individually.

To be eligible for a bridging programme, you must first pass the artistic entrance exam. More information about the admission tests can be found here.

Preparatory Programmes

A preparatory programme is intended for students with an academic bachelor's or master's degree who wish to begin a master's programme. This programme enables them to start the master's degree with the same foundational knowledge as those directly admitted with an academic bachelor's degree.

No fixed pathway has been developed for related academic diplomas; each application is reviewed individually. A preparatory programme leads to a specific certificate but does not confer an academic degree or diploma.

RITCS offers a preparatory programme specifically for the Academic Bachelor in Audiovisual Arts: Writing and Radio.
