Studying in Belgium

    Hi all,

    I'm really interested in going to Belgium to do a masters in EU law. The problem is with funding. I rang my County Council about bringing my grant over with me, but aparently Ireland will only provide funding for undergrads to study abroad, and I will have to stay in Ireland to get any funding in a postgrad. Surely there must be a way for me to apply for something or could somebody shed some light on how the system works?

    I have asked lecturers, the County Council and nobody seems to know or all answers seem vague. The colleges I am hopingto apply for will be either Levven or Louvain.

    Thanks very much :confused:

    You cannot get an Irish county council grant to study in Belgium.

    But, you can get a government grant from the region you are studying in Belgium, but you have to apply to the Irish government, through the Dept of Education. And, if you ring the Dept of Education, most likely they will know nothing about this.

    It is a lot of effort, but it is possible. The deadlines are very early also, often before you will have applied for a course the following year. I'd get Googling fast
