Practical Information

The UCL International section you will find some general and useful practical information for the international student.  

Beside this general information, Louvain School of Engineering has developped some more specific information related to our school, which you will find below. Throughout this section, we will focus on the most relevant information topics for the international student organizing his/her arrival in Louvain-la-Neuve:

To make things easier for you, we have also gathered all the above information in a single Handbook for the international student at EPL.

As a general rule, we recommend incoming international students at EPL to arrive at the latest 2-3 working days before the start of courses for Fall and Spring Semesters. This will allow them to complete all their administrative and logistics steps, in order to be fully operational when courses begin. Furthermore, EPL organizes some walk-in sessions during those days, to provide information and assistance on those administrative and logistics matters.

During our welcome sessions for international students at EPL  in September and January, some presentations are made by students associations BEST and ESN, you can find them again here:
