ESTIAM partnership

Exchange and progression with ESTIAM Education

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.

The partnership

A partnership for exchange and progression

ESTIAM Education, Paris Education network

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).

What it offers

Exchange and routes in both directions

Academic exchange

Opportunities to connect with students and academic life across the Paris Education network, such as exchange activities, joint events and staff exchange. Ask Student Support which opportunities are open in your year.

From BCBT to ESTIAM

Graduates of our Ofqual-regulated qualifications, and of the Belgian VKS Level 6 programmes once they open, can apply to continue in a related programme at ESTIAM in Paris or at another campus of the network.

From ESTIAM to BCBT

ESTIAM students and graduates can apply to a related BCBT qualification, on campus in Brussels or fully online. Their previous studies are taken into account at admission.

Good to know: each route leads to a related programme and is subject to the admission requirements of the receiving institution, including language. Admission is decided by that institution and is not automatic. BCBT does not offer French RNCP qualifications itself.
