Indicators of success

• Number of foreign students benefiting from a scholarship.
• Quality of scientific research carried out and dissemination of the results.

The UCLouvain

The Université Catholique de Louvain is the largest French-speaking university in Belgium. Each year it welcomes more than 30,000 students, spread over seven sites in Brussels and Wallonia. Close to 20% of the students come from abroad and represent more than 120 nationalities.

UCLouvain educates students in all disciplines from bachelors to masters and has a wide range of post-graduate courses. UCLouvain is also a pioneer, having created MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses): it is the first French-speaking university in Europe to offer online courses on the Edx platform.

Teaching, research, service to society as well as making itself felt on an international and cultural level are the main missions of the University. Mutually enriching, anchored in a tradition of excellence, they have created openness of the UCLouvain towards the region, Europe and the world.
