Admission Policy for International Scholars

These are EEA citizens and non-EEA citizens who are admitted to conduct studies at K.U.Leuven either in preparation for a doctorate, which they will obtain in their home university, or in the framework of research or studies conducted in their home university. Hence, these international scholars are still officially affiliated to their home university. Mostly, they come to K.U.Leuven with a scholarship in the framework of an agreement or in the context of an exchange programme. They may reside at K.U.Leuven for a longer period, i.e. for more than three months but not exceeding 18 months.

More information about admissions is available from the International Admissions and Mobility Unit.
