University Affiliation Program
Belgian academic institutions that embed a significant portion of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge™ (CBOK™), including the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, into their curriculum may be eligible to participate in the University Affiliation Program.
An Affiliated University signals to their students and to employers that their curriculum is closely tied to the practice of investment management and is helpful to students preparing for the CFA® Program exams.
