Hello, everyone!
I am moving to Belgium in September and i am very excited! In the beggining i wanted to study psycology (i already have bachelor+master in informatics, but i decided to make a carrer change!), but because i didnt find any english bachelor or master(for non-psycologists) i decided to move anyways and work in Belgium, learn Dutch and maybe study later. Although, after a small research i made, there are not so many jobs with only english, but i hope at the end i ll find sth. Any opinions? I will probably live in Limburg province.

Oh great! So, here is what i found.

There are several programs for Psycology in Belgium in important universities, but not in English, the most attractive for me are: 1) KULeuven, "Bachelor in de psycologie" (onderwijsaanbod.kuleuven.be/2012/opleidingen/n/CQ_50074160.htm) which is in Dutch, 2)UMons, "Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Education" (applications.umons.ac.be/webappspub/WebPdc20122013/progViewerEn.aspx?progId=3-01&ppp=no) which is taught in French. I found one more in Antwerp (Lessius uni):
"Bachelor of Applied Psychology" (lessius.eu/english/professional-bachelors/health-wellbeing/bachelor-applied-psychology) which, if i understood correctly, is in Dutch with 9 courses taught in English. For me, the most attractive is a master i found in Maastricht (is in Holand but very close to Limburg region in Belgium)"Forensic Psychology", in which, unfortunately, they only accept people with a bachelor in psycology, and the "Master of Science in Psychology" in the same university is the same case.

I did not check foreign universities (american, english etc) because in this period i wouldnt be able to afford it. If u find anything interesting on that, please tell me.
