According to the following typologies of students, there are different admission rules and certification policies:

a. Master (II level) and Ph.D. students registered at universities that are partners of the ESDP network 
They can participate under the Erasmus bilateral agreement between their university and KU Leuven. No registration fee will be charged, but they must first get in touch with their university's contact person to verify eligibility (see ESDP network website at: http://www.esdp-network.eu/EM.php). Once cleared by their home university, they can file the on-line form in the KU Leuven website.


b. First or second year Ph.D. students in disciplines addressing spatial development issues (geography, sociology, etc.) at KU Leuven 
They can apply for the course as part of their post-graduate training course (they should contact the programme coordinator F.Moulaert: frank.moulaert@asro.kuleuven.be ).

Both the students attending under an Erasmus bilateral agreement (group a) and the students registered at KU Leuven (group b) will receive a 'Certificate of attendance', which will be completed with a 'Mark sheet' in case they sustain the exam administered at the end of each individual modules. In order to obtain the full 'EMSDP Post-Graduate Certificate' the payment of a tuition fee is required (see below).


 c. Master and Ph.D. students, Post-doctoral fellows, Researchers, Professionals, and Civil servants from non-partner institutions 
They must apply to KU Leuven and pay a tuition fee.
These students will obtain the full 'EMSDP Post-Graduate Certificate', once they sustain and pass the exam administered at the end of each individual modules.
