Defence and the Navy
Defence and the Navy also offer opportunities for higher-level training.
Defence
The Royal Military School (ERM) is responsible for the basic training (bachelor and master) and continuing education (master-after-master, etc.) of Belgian officers. Studies at the Polytechnic faculty last five years and lead to a master's degree in engineering sciences. Training at the Faculty of Social and Military Sciences lasts four years (five years for classes that started before 2016) and leads to a Master's degree in Social and Military Sciences. The ERM is responsible for the academic training of candidate pilots and candidate air traffic controllers in the auxiliary framework. Defence also offers a degree in industrial engineering and studies at the Hogere Zeevaartschool in Antwerp. Medical studies are also possible. These latter courses are offered outside the ERM, but the students are administered by the ERM.
Marine
All the information you need about these courses (bachelors and masters) is available on the Antwerp Nautical College website.
