Through Brussels College’s academic partnership with ESTIAM Education, part of the Paris Education network, BCBT students can take part in academic exchange and follow progression routes in both directions.
ESTIAM Education is a French higher education institution and part of the Paris Education network, headquartered in Paris, with campuses and partner institutions in several countries. Brussels College holds an academic partnership with the network, and BCBT students benefit from it in two ways: academic exchange, and progression routes from BCBT to ESTIAM and from ESTIAM to BCBT.
The partnership does not change who awards your qualification: BCBT’s Ofqual-regulated qualifications are awarded by their Ofqual-regulated awarding body (see awarding bodies & regulation).
