4        BELGIUM, THE HEART OF EUROPE

         Do you want to help shape
         the society of tomorrow?
         Every era starts its own revolution,
         a leap in progress courtesy of
         creative minds, sharp thinkers,
         and leading researchers. You'll
         meet just that sort of professor
         – the ones who imbue their
         students with inspiration and
         new insights – at KU Leuven.
         A commitment to foundational
         and applied research has earned
         KU Leuven the honour of being
         named most innovative in Europe
         for the fourth time in a row. Follow
         your curiosity at KU Leuven today,
         and find your answers tomorrow.

    BELGIUM, THE HEART OF EUROPE
    Whether as a student or researcher, you’ll discover in
    Belgium a country full of surprising contrasts. A country
    rich in art, history, and architecture. You’ll be treated to its
    local specialties in a friendly atmosphere. Belgian cities
    have so much to offer to students: a cosmopolitan lifestyle,
    great sport facilities, libraries, bookshops, restaurants,
    cafés, and a dynamic cultural scene.
                                                                       BELGIUM
    As an international guest, you might find Belgians initially
    reserved – an impression that will only last until you share
                                                                                 LEUVEN
    a round of beers at an outdoor café or make your first visit
    to a Belgian home, where you will be warmly welcomed
    and well fed. Belgium is also an ideal base for exploring the
    rest of Europe. London, Paris, Cologne, and Amsterdam
    are all a proverbial stone’s throw away. It is the
    headquarters of many international organisations and
    companies and the beating heart of the European Union.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Admission requirements
Graduate study programmes at KU Leuven are divided into four categories: bachelor's programmes, initial
master’s programmes, advanced master’s programmes, and doctoral studies. Degree requirements vary by
category and programme.

>   In most cases, to qualify for admission to an initial master’s programme, you must hold an appropriate
    under­graduate degree (usually a bachelor’s degree) consisting of at least three years of full-time, university-
    level studies.

>   To qualify for admission to an advanced master’s programme, you are expected to hold a master’s degree
    or – depending on the study programme – a bachelor’s degree obtained after a four-year programme.

>   To qualify for admission to a doctoral programme, you must hold a master’s degree and have a doctoral
    advisor (in Dutch, a ‘promotor’) willing to supervise your doctoral studies.

Final admission decisions are made on a per-programme basis by the board responsible for that particular
programme. Students must meet the admission requirements specific to their chosen programme of study.

www.kuleuven.be/internationalprogrammes

Students are expected to be proficient in English. All non-native English speakers are required to submit proof
of English proficiency. KU Leuven currently accepts TOEFL (iBT), IELTS and Cambridge English Examination
results. Minimum language requirements vary by programme, so it’s best to consult the language requirements
specific to your chosen programme for more information.

Students who wish to follow Dutch-language study programmes can visit our website for more information.
