Since 1989, the Dutchspeaking (Flemish), French-speaking and German-speaking communities have had a very considerable measure of autonomy in educational policy. Nonetheless, there are certain broad national guidelines. Six years of primary education is followed by six years of compulsory secondary education leading to the school-leaving certificate: Diploma van Secundair Onderwijs/Certificat d’Enseignement Secondaire Supérieur/Abschlu§zeugnis der Oberstufe des Sekundarunterrichts. The sixth-year secondary certificates have recently been reappraised and made more demanding. Secondary education is arranged in four distinct sections: general, technical, artistic and vocational. The certificate will record the specialisation. Access to Higher Education The Flemish Parliament adopted a new HE Act in April 2003, implementing the principles of the Bologna Declaration. The general admission requirement for a Bachelor programme is the Flemish secondary school leaving certificate (Diploma van Secundair Onderwijs). Entry examinations must be passed by any student who wishes to take up study in dentistry, medicine and fine arts (Diploma van het Toelatingsexamen). From 2004/5, there will be no further entry examinations for civil engineering, civil engineering/architecture or nautical sciences. Some professional Bachelor degrees (180 ECTS) give access to subsequent Bachelor programmes (at least 60 ECTS), possibly after a preliminary examination. The ‘Hogescholen’ board stipulates which Bachelor degrees give access to these professionally oriented specialisation programmes. Academic Bachelor degrees (180 ECTS) give access to Masters programmes (at least 60 ECTS). Some Master degrees will give access to subsequent Masters programmes (at least a further 60 ECTS), possibly after a preliminary examination. The university board stipulates which Masters degrees give access to these specialised and advanced Master programmes. Professional Bachelor degrees give access to some Master programmes after a bridging course (schakelprogramma). The programme of the bridging course is determined by the university board and will be between 45 and 90 ECTS. The Master degrees give access to doctoral programmes, possibly after a preliminary examination (dependent on field of study).
