Virtual Campus initiatives in Flanders
Universities and Polytechnics
Distance Education in Flanders
The Open Universiteit Nederland (OUNL) has taken advantage of the mutual language between Flanders and the Netherlands by setting up a subdivision in this part of Belgium, called the Open University Vlaanderen, for which the Coördinatiebureau Vlaanderen coordinates this subdivision in the University of Ghent. It offers distance learning, focussing on self-study, with several Flemish study centres where students can receive study guidance. According to the governmental page on the OU (NL) students receive a Dutch diploma instead of a Belgian one. Other source on governmental site: OU (NL).
