The school year for children in primary and secondary school is already behind you? That’s a good thing done!
The school year is already a budget in itself, especially when you have several children. Today, primary and secondary schools are increasingly demanding (school trips, books, tablets, etc…).
It is not easy to bear these expenses for some families. Of course, the education and training of your children are priorities.
But what to say then when, in addition, the family must cover the costs of a
university start for one or more children. Here too, the costs are very significant, even more so: from
buying a small car, to renting a student room, to paying the university tuition fee, not to mention other school supplies. Higher education represents a very substantial budget for families.
In some cases, it may be necessary to request
financial assistance to finance your children’s studies: our credit company offers
loans starting from €2,500.
The point on the question.
The cost of a university start
This cost can be very high.
Indeed, it is sometimes useful to buy a small car. Similarly, renting a studio or a student room represents a significant part of the budget, especially in cities like Brussels, Liège, Louvain-la-Neuve, or Namur. A student room is easily €350 per month, plus a two-month rental deposit.
Then come the tuition fee and syllabi.
The university tuition fee
For enrollment in university studies,
a tuition fee is required. Its amount is set by Article 39 of the law of July 27, 1971, on the financing of university institutions. For information, for the academic year 2012-2013, the amount is
€835.
However, this tuition fee can be free if you receive an allowance granted by the loan and study allowance service of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
Furthermore, an intermediate tuition fee is provided for students from modest backgrounds who do not meet the conditions and modalities of an allowance and a scholarship from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. For information again, for the year 2011-2012, the reduced amount is
€374.
It should also be noted that tuition fees can be reduced for Higher Education or an art school. In this case, the ordinary tuition fee is
€454 and the reduced tuition fee is
€227 for the final year and
€175 for other years.
