Do not fill this in! ====Belgium==== [[Education in Belgium]] is run by the language communities, with separate higher education systems being administered by the [[Flemish Community]] and the [[French Community of Belgium|French Community]]. Both systems have been reformed to align with the [[Bologna Process]], the Flemish Community from 2003 and the French Community from 2004. In the Flemish Community, bachelor's degrees may be either academic or professional. These degrees last three years, and may be followed in both cases by an advanced bachelor diploma ({{lang-fr|Bachelier de spécialisation|lit=Specialized Bachelor}}; {{lang-nl|Bachelor-na-bachelor|lit=Bachelor-after-bachelor}}), lasting one year (c.f. the Australian bachelor honours degree). All of these qualifications are at level 6 on the [[European Qualifications Framework|EQF]], to which the Flemish Qualification Framework was referenced in June 2011. In the French Community, universities award ''grade de bachelier'' (3 years) as the equivalent of bachelor's degrees. Outside of universities, professional programs may be ''type long'' (long type) or ''type court'' (short type), both of which are offered at ''hautes ecoles'' and ''ecoles supérieures des arts''. The long type takes in a ''grade de bachelier (type long)'' (3 years), which is followed by a ''master'' degree (1 or 2 years), while the short type has a ''grade de bachelier professionnalisant (type court)'' (3 years), which may be followed by a ''bachelier de spécialisation'' (1 year). All ''bachelier'' degrees (including the ''bachelier de spécialisation'') are equivalent to level 6 of the EQF, but have not been formally referenced.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.epnuffic.nl/en/publications/find-a-publication/education-system-belgium.pdf|title=Education System: Belgium|publisher=EP-Nuffic|access-date=11 November 2016|date=January 2016}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
