• Phase 1 | Get a solid grounding in the basics of automotive technology and general sciences. A mix of theoretical classes and hands-on practical labs will hone your problem-solving skills as you apply them to diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults and system failures.  
• Phase 2 | Work on electric and hybrid cars and familiarise yourself with the latest diagnosis tools that will shape you into a future-proof professional. Explore the world of alternative fuel system technologies and specialise in either Motorsport Engineering, Motorcycles, Trucks or Heavy Duty Vehicles. 
• Phase 3 | Immerse yourself in the fast-moving field of autonomous driving systems and deep dive into your own specific topic in your final semester as part of your bachelor’s thesis. 

Below you can find an overview of the courses (under reservation of changes), with the number of credits per phase. Credits express how many hours you need on average to process the subject matter (incl. lessons). Count about 25 to 30 hours for 1 study credit.

Timetable

Check out an example timetable for phase 1.

The classroom is where you develop your theoretical undertstanding of mechanical and electronic vehicle systems. The Automotive Technology Centre is where you put them to the test during practical lab sessions with our wide range of vehicles, installations and diagnostic and measurement tools.  

But our hands-on approach doesn’t stop there! Our partnerships with local dealers, OEM manufacturers and other key industry players offer all kinds of opportunities for your phase 2 traineeship and your 12-week bachelor’s thesis internship in your final semester. 

Finally, our Master Technician Certificate lets you combine either BMW’s or Volvo’s training programme within your Thomas More degree. Essential for those looking to work at licensed dealerships or OEM manufacturers. 

Never hesitate to ask questions before, during and after class. You’ll find our teaching staff to be both friendly and supportive. They will give you frequent feedback on your progress and advise you on your future automotive career.  

Your study counsellor will also help you put together your individual study programme, while your care coordinator is available anytime to help you develop a good study attitude and study plan. 

Expand your horizons during the second or third phase of your course by studying abroad. An Erasmus or another study exchange programme can be a great way to explore the world, build a network of like-minded colleagues and acquire a different perspective on familiar topics.  

You also have the option of completing your final bachelor’s thesis at one of our partner institutes in France, Portugal, Finland, The Netherlands, Germany and elsewhere. 

If you join our Formula Electric Belgium student project, you’ll also have the chance to compete at various international student competitions. 
 
Finally, our automotive experience tour in your final year will immerse you in the production lines and automotive heritage of top manufacturers such as Mercedes, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. 

Our application process is really straightforward.
You will only need to meet 3 simple requirements:

1. Secondary education diploma
2. English Language Certificate (B2)
3. Passport/ID card or residence permit

Some more good news! Thomas More has no numerus clausus procedure, nor do we have a limit on the number of admitted students.
You can find more specific information about our admission requirements here.

We want all our students to be able to work safely during their classes. Therefore, at the start of the academic year, you must purchase a couple of things that you will need during your studies.  Below you can find a list of these items to purchase and a price indication.
