Would you like to continue your studies in French-speaking higher education, but the diploma equivalence you have received does not allow you to access the desired studies?

If so, you can sit a DAES exam with one of the juries of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. DAES stands for ‘Diplôme d’Aptitude à accéder à l’Enseignement Supérieur’. The DAES opens the door to (almost) all studies in French-speaking higher education.

There is no Flemish version of the DAES because, in the Flemish Community, the schools and universities themselves decide on access to their study programmes. However, the basic rule is that you must hold a secondary education diploma. If the recognition of your diploma does not allow you access to a particular programme, contact the educational establishment of your choice. The school or university will assess your situation and may offer you a preparatory (transition) year.
