A multicultural, multilingual university renowned in Belgium and Europe and open to the world, UCL is a leading employer in Brabant wallon Province and a major player in the Brussels Capital Region.
At its seven sites, some 6,000 collaborators in faculties, research institutes and general service departments contribute to the university’s three missions: teaching, research and serving society. Each year, UCL recruits some 300 individuals of diverse backgrounds:
- Faculty: 14 faculties, 22 doctoral schools and an ever-expanding lifelong learning programme for individuals and businesses offer courses.
- Research and teaching staff: UCL prides itself as a ‘research university’ thanks to its 22 research institutes, 25 technology platforms and 62 spin-offs. Across the university’s three ‘sectors’ (social sciences and humanities, science and technology, health sciences), research, both fundamental and applied, is rigorously conducted and interdisciplinarity is encouraged, especially via the ‘Louvain4’ interdisciplinary initiative. UCL research teams reach out internationally and collaborate with numerous actors and institutions both in Belgium and abroad, which facilitates researcher mobility.
- Administrative and technical staff: UCL has ten libraries, while eight administrations and departments attend to finance, student affairs, communication and external relations, research, human resources management, information technology, and course administrative management.
