How results are ordered: alphabetically by institution, or by most recently checked when you choose that sort. There is no price ranking, because tuition in different currencies, fee categories and bases (per year, per credit, whole program) is not comparable. A program appears under a subject only through a verified link (dedicated degree, major, concentration or documented pathway). A value we could not verify is shown as “not published”, never as “no”. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change verification or order. Online programs are not counted as physically located in a state or city, and an institution’s location does not tell you whether it enrols students from your country.

About art education in Belgium

How art education is organised

Higher art education in Belgium is organised by community: Flemish schools (LUCA, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp) and French-speaking schools (La Cambre, ARBA-ESA) use a bachelor and master structure. La Cambre describes a first cycle of 180 credits leading to Bachelier and a second cycle of 120 credits leading to Master; LUCA's English-taught masters are one-year programmes of 60 ECTS. The titles on the pages read are Bachelor, Master or Master in Visual Arts rather than BFA or MFA.
