----SEDIKIT GAMBARAN TENTANG VLIR------------

VLIR finances 15 International Courses (ICPs) organised by the Flemish universities. These courses are master programmes, lasting one or two academic years, all of which lead to a master’s degree. They focus on specific problems of developing countries. The main target group for the courses are students from developing countries, although the courses can also be attended by Belgian students or students from other countries.

The ICPs aim to train people from the South with a responsible position in civil society (at a university, school, NGO, ministry, etc) in such a way that the knowledge that they acquire is disseminated and applied in the home institution and country of origin.

VLIR also finances International Training Programmes (ITPs) organised by Flemish universities and one university college. ITPs are short-term training programmes whose main focus is transferring skills rather than knowledge. The International Training Programmes are designed for people from developing countries with a certain degree of professional experience. Knowledge and skills are transferred through the ITPs, and the possibility for cooperation and networking is created.

VLIR is responsible for the offer of ICPs and ITPs. It provides funds to the organising Flemish universities and also provides a number of scholarships for each programme.

The Flemish universities themselves are responsible for the programmes’ academic content, and practical and logistical organisation.

Although they primarily address the needs of students and professionals from developing countries, these programmes are also open to other people. This brochure provides all the information you may need as a self-supporting student or as scholar.
