Louvain-la Neuve:
a stimulating living
environment
All master programmes include a socio-
professional work placement lasting
several months in a company or research
laboratory.
UCL is a French-speaking university but
above all, it is 'English friendly'. In addition
to the possibility of following courses
given entirely in English, you will have
the chance to acquire or improve your
knowledge of French, particularly in the
Institute of Modern Languages, which is
equipped with the latest language-learning
technologies.
The Faculty of Bioscience Engineering
welcomes many exchange students
every year, mainly through the Erasmus +
programme.
These students can choose a certain
number of credits and thereby supplement
their programme with courses in French or
make their selection from over 130 course
credits in English.
Information:
The pedestrian campus of Louvain-la-
Neuve spans over a 2 km (1.3 miles)
radius and is bordered by 300 hectares
(750 acres) of woods. This calm yet
connected environment has also been
chosen to host offices of approximately
270 companies with among them world
leaders such as AGC Glass Europe HQs,
Ion Beam Application (IBA), Lhoist or
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
The Faculty of Bioscience Engineering
offers a stimulating environment for both
students and researchers, it. It also favours
personal development and well-being.
Sport is a good way to meet others and
integrate with the student population.
With an offer of over 90 sports during
the academic year, UCL gives you the
opportunity to practice your favorite sports
or discover new ones. The Blocry Center
offers both indoor facilities -24 sports halls,
a major climbing wall (1900m², 16m high-
6200 square feet, 52ft high) and a new
athletic track to be built in 2018- and 13 ha
(32 acres) of outdoor fields. UCL students
have access to all these infrastructures
and services for only 50€ as the university
covers part of the costs.
A strong emphasis is also put on culture.
Theatre, cinema, concerts, shows,
exhibitions, conferences - cultural activities
abound at UCLouvain. This is hardly
surprising as the university invests heavily
in culture inviting each year an
artist in residence and organizing a cultural
season comprising as many as 50+
cultural events. Finally, our Faculty
enjoys the proximity of the university
museum.
The quality of teaching and tutoring
Innovation is second nature to UCL. The University applies i to research but also to
teaching, constantly re-examining its purpose and methods.
UCL is particular ly attentive and sensitive to offer to its students the welcome
and support they might need. Wether this involves lending assistance in finding
accomodation or completing all the enrolment formalities, offering a personalized
welcome to the faculty and easy access to language courses or providing welfare,
psychological and educational support where needed, every effort is made to ensure
that newcomers quickly feel part of the student community.
