Call South-North-South master credit allowances 2010

A master credits allowance is an allowance

• for students from the South (DGDC country list)
• that are following an English-taught master programme in Flanders and
• wish to follow (part of) a course module of their currently ongoing master programme
• or conduct scientific activities in connection with their currently ongoing master programme
• i.e. in the framework of officially attributed study credits (≈ ECTS)
• for at least one and no more than three months from January to December 2010
• at a university in the South (DGDC country list – a country other than the own country of origin).

The purpose of the master credit allowance is to bring about South-South links. Given the role of VLIR-UOS projects and programmes, institutional and other links between university courses and universities in Flanders and in the South could hereby be activated or strengthened.

A master credit allowance can only be granted to master students (with or without scholarship) holders from an English-taught master programme in a Flemish university, who:
(1) have the nationality of one of the countries on the DGDC list of developing countries;
(2) did not receive a “south-south mobility allowance” from VLIR-UOS in 2009.

Students who are/have been abroad in 2010 before this call was launched, can submit an application file. In case they are selected financing can be obtained in retrospect.
