AMS opts for a hybrid learning approach that combines different forms of teaching and working, with both in-person education and virtual learning activities.

• AMS actively supports Belgium's vaccination policy, and encourages staff, faculty, students, and participants to get a COVID-19 vaccine to obtain the COVID Certificate.  Also people who built sufficient immunity by testing positive for COVID-19 in the past 6 months will obtain the COVID Certificate. If not, a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test may also allow one to start the academic year.  However, there are also numerous additional activities throughout the academic year during which we want to eliminate all possible risks. The COVID Certificate will provide access to social life in Belgium, extra- and intra-curricular activities, and international trips.
• International students are advised to get a COVID-19 vaccine in their home country. Students who did not have the opportunity to do so and who are studying and living in Belgium for at least 3 months can join the Flemish vaccination program during their studies.
