The programs you applied for at the universities in the Kortrijk are conducted in English.
However, it's important to note that Dutch is the official language of the Flemish region in Belgium.
While many people will communicate with you in English, having a basic understanding of Dutch will be beneficial.
It will make your daily life easier if you can read a product in the supermarket or a menu in a restaurant.
And it will be surprisingly enriching if you can connect with locals in their native language.
