Bordered by Germany, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Belgium is a Federal State, divided into three regions and three linguistic communities. Home to European Union institutions and international organisations such as NATO, Belgium has a friendly, cosmopolitan, and multicultural society in the heart of Europe, making it very exciting for international students. Belgium hosts world-renowned higher education institutions, among Europe's best.
Belgium features a unique higher education system organized primarily by its two main language communities: the Dutch-speaking Flemish Community in the north (covering cities such as Leuven, Ghent, and Antwerp) and the French-speaking Community in the south (covering cities such as Liège, Mons, Namur, and Louvain-la-Neuve), with bilingual opportunities in Brussels.
