Living-cost methodology
UCLouvain international mobility guidance; not a municipality-wide market survey.
Belgium programme delivery verification pending
CampCareer has 188 verified Belgium programme offering records, but their inherited primary-location relationships do not prove delivery at the Phase 3 verified teaching locations. Institution or campus presence is never used to infer city programme availability.
The city catalogue state is shown as verification pending rather than “0 programmes”.
Verified universities and teaching locations
This is an initial verified university set, not a complete Belgian higher-education provider inventory. Universities of applied sciences and university colleges can be missing until separately verified.

International student work context
The stored Belgian reference is up to 20 hours per week during the school period for eligible foreign students. During school holidays, the stored residence-based rule does not apply that 20-hour cap.
Work outside school holidays must remain compatible with studies; individual residence conditions still control.
