International Scholars
International scholars are EEA or non-EEA citizens admitted to conduct research at K.U.Leuven either in preparation for a doctorate that they will obtain at their home university, or within the framework of research or studies conducted at their home university. Hence, these international scholars remain officially affiliated with their home university. Mostly, they come to K.U.Leuven with a scholarship within 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 eighteen months).
