Institutional context

Two institutions, one moving mind

UC Leuven-Limburg (UCLL) is the result of a partnership between two regional institutions: UC Leuven and UC Limburg.  Despite being part of the same organisation, there are still some differences between the institutions.

It is important that you select the correct regional institution (UC Leuven or UC Limburg) as each institution has its own programmes and campuses.

Please contact the international coordinator at your home institution if you are not sure whether you are going to study at:

  • UC Leuven - Erasmus code B LEUVEN18 

or

  • UC Limburg - Erasmus code B HASSELT20

To be able to study at UCLL, an agreement between your institution and either of the above is necessary. Check at your home institution if an agreement exists for your programme. 

Step 1: Nomination

At UCLL we  use an online nomination and application portal: Mobility-Online. All partner institutions receive a weblink each semester to nominate you at UCLL. Once you are nominated by your coordinator, you will automatically receive further instructions by mail to complete your application. 

Are you a coordinator at a partner institution?
In case you would not have received our nomination link(s), please let us know via international@ucll.be.

Step 2: Application

After being nominated by your home institution, you will receive an email with a link to register and apply in Mobility-Online.  You are required to upload the following documents in Mobility-Online:

  • your curriculum vitae
  • a passport photo
  • your most recent transcript of records at your home institution

Then, a Faculty International Officer will accept or reject your application.

Step 3: After acceptance

After you have been accepted, you can set of with the paperwork and discover what student life has in store for you.

You will be asked to complete your Learning Agreement for Study or Traineeship in Mobility-Online and have it signed by your home institution coordinator.

Please consult our faculty exchange programmes and our transdisciplinary programmes to learn more about the courses we offer.

If a student wants to take courses at UCLL, independent of any agreement with the home institution, she/he/they can register as a free mover. 

Step 4: student registration at UCLL

One last step before diving into your adventure is to register as a student at UCLL. The International Office will guide you through the student registration shortly before the start of the semester.
