Engineering in Belgium and the Netherlands
Thursday, 18 February 2027 · 18:00 CET
Planned length 75 minutes. A talk never runs longer than two hours.
Three former students who took engineering in three different places, on what the first year actually demanded and how much the entrance exam really mattered.
What this talk covers
- The Flemish entrance exam for engineering, and what preparing for it looked like in practice
- How different Dutch-language, French-language and English-language programmes feel day to day
- Maths in S6 and S7 against maths in first year: the honest gap
- Living costs and student housing in Leuven, Delft and Brussels
The panel
Example Speaker A
Engineering Science, KU Leuven · Left school in 2024
Took the entrance exam twice and passed the second time. Happy to talk about what the first attempt taught them and why it was not a disaster.
Example Speaker B
Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft · Left school in 2023
Moved to the Netherlands straight after S7 and had to learn how a numerus fixus selection works. Can explain the application timeline from the inside.
Example Speaker C
Civil Engineering, ULB · Left school in 2024
Stayed in Brussels and lived at home for the first two years. Useful on what that saves, and what it costs you socially.
