The Haute Ecole Charleroi-Europe has established bilateral agreements with many institutions across Europe under the auspices of the Lifelong Learning Programme. Students of these institutions may apply to the HECE as Erasmus mobility students. They should fill in the Erasmus Application Form which may be obtained from the Erasmus coordinator of their home institution.
A student who is interested in applying outside the Lifelong Learning Programme should contact either the Rector’s secretary or the head of the International Office.
The Diploma Supplement is a document attached to a higher education diploma providing a standardised description of the nature, level, context, content and status of the studies that were pursued and successfully completed by the graduate. The Diploma Supplement provides transparency and facilitates academic and professional recognition of qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates etc.)
