Your application with NARIC-Flanders is thus closed.
No decree from one country can determine the quality of a school from another country. Also, the "substantial difference" part is flawed by itself because this generally isn't true. Many propio programs are not much if at all different from official programs, in fact some propios even have a thesis requirement and take longer to complete than the standard official program in the same subject does.
That was exactly my thought as well. I did also have a thesis and I have sent it to them. But they see it this way, I followed the course from Structuralia (or any other third party like ENEB) who isn't accredited and hence the program isn't accredited they won't give a positive evaluation. While on UI1 it clearly shows their official partners and they hand out the degree. I'm currently a bit lost for words since I wasn't expecting this outcome.
I could file an appeal but not sure if It's worth it. In Spain propio degrees are still valid degrees since they carry ECTS . But Belgium Naric doesn't seem to care much.
