study, and exchange period.

And 1 October
Niveau de langue requis et langue des cours
The language of instruction is English. Proficiency in English is required.
Not all courses in the English-taught masters’ of our Faculty are open for Erasmus students. Note that this offer is revised before the start of every academic year, but you can already use the current list to compose an acceptable learning agreement.
Dutch-speaking exchange students can get in touch with the Faculty exchange coordinator or academic advisor to discuss available courses in Dutch.
Please read the instructions about choosing courses carefully!
Thesis:
A standard thesis at KU Leuven is a full year project worth 24 or 30 ECTS credits. Those Erasmus students who come on exchange only for one semester and already have a topic at their home university, may opt for half-year thesis project of 12 ECTS credits.
Regardless of the selected option, you need to find a (co-)promoter in our Faculty. To facilitate this, we strongly advise that the thesis promoter in your home university already has good contacts with a colleague inour Faculty. Please keep in mind that you need to have
the acceptance of a professor in Leuven to be your thesis promoter before the application deadline. Start looking well in time!
! Note that if you are applying at the Faculty of Engineering Science, you may not select a professor from a different faculty as your thesis supervisor.
