Hello,

Has anybody of you studied in this institute? I am thinking about applying for the postgraduate one year course there. Any tips about living/studying quality there would be welcome...

Thanks for any opinion

go for it. it's a great place both educationally and culturally. but stay in brussel, more things going on there. you will have to take the bus to the vki or better yet, hitch hike (very easy to get a lift). don't stay rhode-saint-genese. good luck.

Thanks Mike So it seems you were there. Tell me how does it look from financial point of view? Was it easy to obtain the VKI funds, or you had a stipend from your own country?

yes, i had a stipend. if you get accepted, you will have a salary. it was more than enough to do some traveling on weekends, breaks, ...

So you had a stipend from your government or from VKI? this I have to sort out before aplication I'm afraid.

Thanks once more for your help.

it was from my government.

I studied at VKI last year, it is a really good place, but it is a very intensive and stressing course. If you apply from a Nato country and you get in, you will get a scholarship... it is about 900 euros per month, it is enought to live and extras, if you have still time to enjoy the extras =) good luck for your application, Daniele
