An Executive Master is a continuing education related to a 3rd cycle training (post-Bachelor/Master) but organized by a private organism, it is not awarded by the Wallonia-Brussels Community.

This program cannot serve as a master equivalence; on the other hand, it is fully recognized in the private sector.

Admission to the Executive Master’s program is based on the files submitted. Please note: Once the maximum number of spots (25) has been reached, registration will close.

There is no requirement for an applicant to have completed any specific ‘field of study’ in order to take this course, which includes ‘European public affairs’ and ‘communication techniques’. You can enrol on the Executive Master in European Public Affairs and Communication via a master’s degree, for example, in law or political science, or via a master’s in journalism, public relations, communication science, humanities and social sciences, and so on.

If an applicant does not have a diploma in a second-cycle university degree (master’s or similar), a bachelor’s university degree or higher may also be accepted, provided the applicant can prove they have gained professional experience that is appropriate for this course.

By professional experience, we mean the jobs and professions directly linked to Europe or communication. The decision will be made on a case-by-case basis, based on a detailed file, together with the required certificates. In general, the experience mentioned there must provide guarantees of competency and skills equivalent to those required by second-cycle (master’s degree level) studies. It is the responsibility of the applicant to prove that the experience mentioned is genuine. The applicant can do this by all legal means (employer certificate, contract, evaluation report, recommendation, certificate of registration in the commercial register, certificate from a public authority, tax-related document, etc.).
