To have your Flemish degree recognised abroad, contact the local NARIC office (National Academic Recognition Information Centre) of the country concerned. It will provide all necessary information about the procedure to follow and the documents you need.
Diplomas and diploma supplements of the University of Antwerp are issued in Dutch and in English. Because of this, in most cases you will not need to get your diploma and diploma supplement translated.
