Students

ArBA-EsA has participated in the ERASMUS exchange program since 1991. It has developed agreements with around thirty partner establishments: Germany, England, Spain, France, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Turkey, etc.

It is planned that ERASMUS exchanges will take place in the 3rd Bachelor or 1st Masters and only during the 1st semester. The principle is that exchanges take place between partner establishments and for a four-term period.The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) allows full academic recognition of ERASMUS study periods and the valorization of grades obtained abroad.

Each year an information meeting is organized in mid-November for those who are interested in exchanges. ERASMUS exchanges also allow internships in companies abroad.

If you are interested in participating in the ERASMUS exchange program, do not hesitate to contact the ERASMUS office (erasmus@arba-esa.be).

Applications are made the year preceding the exchange. Applications are analyzed by an internal jury. Students are selected on the basis of a file (portfolio + cover letter) and a presentation to the jury.

Study mobility :

Un échange Erasmus à l’Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles est une excellente opportunité d’étudier en plein cœur de l’Europe, dans une de ses plus anciennes académies des beaux-arts.

Si vous souhaitez passer un semestre à l’ArBA-EsA, en tant qu’étudiant·e Erasmus, contactez d’abord votre coordinat·eur·rice Erasmus afin de voir s’il existe un contrat bilatéral entre l’ArBA-EsA et votre institution. Ces informations sont aussi disponibles sur "Ecoles Partenaires ".

IMPORTANT : Votre acceptation est basée sur la qualité de votre portfolio et sur la place dans les ateliers. Une nomination Erasmus dans votre école ne veut pas dire que vous êtes accepté·e à l'ARBA-ESA. Un jury interne décide de votre application.

• Le formulaire de candidature (téléchargeable dans l'onglet "Téléchargements" situé en haut à gauche de votre écran)
