“less focused courses”

Tongbi F

Belgium,
Accountancy, 2023

Overall

Probably because the school wants to educate us to be cross-profession talents, the course set in our Business economics programme includes so many business dimensions. Although the educational quality in Leuven is outstanding, the less focused knowledge and unsupportive help in career make the university not really suitable for students who are pure jobseekers.

Careers

They will regularly hold fairs and post available job positions. Apart from this, no help from them

Pros

high quality in education

Cons

insufficient career support for student

“One of the best faculty”

Yuhan Z

Belgium, Graduate
Language, 2022

Overall

At KU Leuven learning japanese language is not the only thing we learn. Jaoanese politics, history, culture and religion is also important in our education. When I enter master programme, we can freely choose courses from other faculties such as communication, international relations, management and etc. In this way we not only have the language ability but also other skills on top of that.

Pros

We are working in a small team so everyone is very close and we help each other.

Cons

Still we need more professors to teach us more. The courses can be also more extended.

“My Experience”

Mary O

Belgium, Graduate
Food Science and Technology, 2025

Overall

I am studying an Erasmus program which required me studying in four different universities in four countries. My first mobility was KU LEUVEN Belgium and throughout the duration of my study, I really enjoyed the mode of teaching and the curriculum. The teachers are approachable and several seminars and workshops are organised in discussing transition from academics to the industry.

Pros

Large international student community, complementation of practical with theoretical knowledge

Cons

Work opportunities for non-Dutch speakers
