Specific Admission Requirements

Any student who is not a bachelor in engineering (sciences de l'ingénieur, orientation ingénieur civil), with a major or minor in computer science, must fill in an application for admission to the School of Engineering, stating his detailed curriculum (degree, list of courses followed and grades obtained, year per year). The School of Engineering, consulting with the relevant programme commission, decides on the eligibility of the candidate, and may propose a personalised programme to the student, designed to fill any gap in his formation. To this end, the School of Engineering can impose to the student a volume of complementary courses. For some students, the School of Engineering may propose a one-year bridging programme giving access to the master.

University Bachelors
Diploma	Special Requirements	Access	Remarks
UCLouvain Bachelors
Bachelors in engineering [180.0]	Having completed a major or minor in computer science engineering [30.0]	Direct Access	Students who have neither majored nor minored in the field of their civil engineering Master’s degree, must submit a written application in which they list their detailed course curriculum (list of course work and marks year by year) to the programme commission. The commission will then suggest a programme in keeping with the student’s previous course of study with the possible addition of a maximum of 15 supplemental credits.
Bachelors in engineering [180.0]		Access with additional training	The jury may admit candidates with excellent academic records and training on the basis of their written application provided that they integrate a maximum of 60 additional credits into their Master’s degree programme. A minor in engineering sciences (computer sciences) is considered an advantage for candidates seeking this type of admission.
