What people say about Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL)

Ioana C ★★ · Google review · a month ago

Campus (also city since they are interrelated) is nice. Students don't know English and always hardwired speaking in French even when there are only English speaking students around. That makes the diversity and inclusivity quite low.

Matt P ★ · Google review · a month ago

I (many other foreign students) experienced a lot of discrimination and grouping (among French speaking students). Advisors (aka professors and PIs) do not even scientifically contribute to any research work. Not an international university I would pick for PhD or Erasmus, sadly.

I am a Swiss migrant. But UCLouvain has video courses and helps all migrants around the world. English/French. Wonderful explanations, examples and reading materials all in one place. International, Regional and National. Thank you for your support!

Louvain-La-Neuve. Always a great pleasure to spend some time there.
