Application documents

All students must provide this document.

This document is a list of all courses you have taken in your academic career so far. You can request a transcript of records from your home institution.

Your official transcript of records must be in English. If your institution cannot provide an English version, please translate the document yourself and have the document signed and stamped by the international office of your home institution.

If you are a master's student applying for an exchange programme, you need to provide a transcript of records of both your bachelor's degree and your master's degree.

All students must provide this document.

If your first language is not English, you must provide evidence that your spoken and written command of English is adequate, by uploading the results of one of the following language tests. This requirement is there to ensure that your academic progress is not hampered by language difficulties and that you are able to communicate with teachers and administrative staff.

Approved language certificates

You must upload the results of one of the following language tests during your application:

• Certificate issued by the Erasmus Plus Online linguistic support website (OLS) CEFR B2. Everybody can take a test here by clicking on 'join the community' and creating an account.
  Note that this test is mandatory for all Erasmus students, making it the easiest certificate to provide.

• ​Cambridge First Certificate
• ​IELTS Certificate, with a minimum score of 6.5
• Certificate issued by the language centre of your home institution or any other official language school in your country, testifying that your level of English is at least CEFR B2

Exceptions

If you are eligible to be exempt, you must upload a Word or PDF file to your application workflow in Mobility Online instead of a language certificate, containing a short declaration about your personal situation and an explanation as to why you do not need to upload the Certificate of English Knowledge. There is no template for this, you must create a document yourself.

You are exempt and do not need to provide an English language certificate if:

1. Students who are only attending courses in Dutch and who have a good command of the Dutch language. One (or more) of the following statements must apply to these students:
   • Their mother tongue is Dutch
   • They are currently enrolled in a study programme that is taught in Dutch​

If it turns out, upon your arrival, that your English skills do not match the level indicated on the document you submitted as proof, the University of Antwerp may decide not to admit you after all.

All students must provide this document.

Make sure to immediately upload a proper photo that meets these requirements!
Additionally, the photo must be between 0-410 x 0-530 pixels.

​Please note: a passport photo is not a photo of your passport! It is the photo that is printed on your passport or other ID documents.

Without a correct picture, you cannot receive a student card, which is essential for access to specific buildings, rooms, a bike storage, etc., but also for taking exams. 

​All students must provide this document.

You must upload a proof of identification. This is a PDF document which contains a copy of your passport or ID card. Other types of documents are not accepted.
If you upload a copy of your ID card, please add front and back.

​​CHECK OUT OUR VIDEO ON MAKING A LEARNING AGREEMENT FOR TRAINEESHIPS

The Learning Agreement for Traineeships, which we will call a training agreement from now on, formalises the arrangements that you’ve made and safeguards the quality of your placement. It describes your tasks, the knowledge and skills you will acquire, the arrangements that have been made regarding monitoring and evaluation, etc.

The agreement must be signed by yourself, your home institution and the relevant international coordinator at the University of Antwerp before the start of your work placement. It is designed to guarantee admission at the University of Antwerp and full recognition of your placement at your home institution. 

Contact your home institution for a template; you can also find a template on the website of the European Commission. After completion, upload the agreement to Mobility Online.

What about workplace accident insurance? 

Students participating in Erasmus placement are not covered by the workplace accident insurance, so they must be insured by their home institution. Therefore, all boxes in the training agreement should be checked as insured by the home institution, not by UAntwerp.
