Ask for more information at the social service of your host institution. It won’t be easy to find a student job as an exchange student. Most employers demand good knowledge of Dutch.

Students from the EU + Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (not for the 'newest' member states, except Malta & Cyprus!)
From the moment you have registered at the Foreigners Registration Office and have received your ”Certificate of Registration in the Aliens' Register” (Bewijs van inschrijving in het vreemdelingenregister) or the “Declaration of Arrival” (Aankomstverklaring) and your National Identity Number, you can start looking for a job. You do not need a work permit.

Students from outside the EU
When you have a Certificate of Inscription in the Aliens Register, a Certificate of Immatriculation, a Declaration of Arrival or a Residence Permit then you can apply for a work permit C at the services of the VDAB which is the Flemish Employment Counselling Service.
