The Royal Military School of Belgium and the Bologna Process

The Royal Military School [RMS] educates officers destined for all the Belgian armed forces, as well as for other European and African countries. Since 2009, it has been accredited by the French “Commission des titres d’ingénieurs” [CTI] and by the “Nederlands-Vlaams Accreditatie Organisatie” [NVAO]. Accreditation has enabled it to improve the quality of some of its internal processes and has consolidated its position within the European Area of Higher Education. The RMS has already been used as a reference by the Brno Defence University (Czech Republic) and by the Belgrade Military Academy (Serbia) within the framework of their own accreditation processes. The RMS is happy to share all of its experiences in this area with other European institutions of higher education, whether civilian or military.
