University College Leuven-Limburg


Strengths
Founded in 2014 by the merger of the former Katholieke Hogeschool Limburg and the Catholic University of Louvain, the UCLL is one of the most prestigious universities in Europe. The “Moving Minds” university’s philosophy aims to motivate and connect a wide range of people so that ideas can be shared, come to life and create positive change. This vision is the basis of the pedagogy and is shared by the entire teaching community.
