Course Description

Belgium sits at the crossroads of Europe home to the EU institutions, NATO headquarters, and some of the world's largest pharmaceutical and chemical companies. Its work permit system is unique because it is managed at the regional level: Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels each have their own rules and processes.
