Partners
UC Leuven-Limburg is part of the KU Leuven Association which is an official entity regulating the collaboration between KU Leuven and several university colleges in Flanders, Belgium.
We maintain high standards regarding the quality of our key activities in education, research and outreach. We continuously search for comparable innovative and ambitious higher education institutions as well as representative organisations to partner with. Our choice goes to partners with a practice-oriented, innovative and international profile.
OUR VISION ON INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
Our vision on international partners is shaped as a pyramid. In this unique model, international cooperation includes but goes beyond the mobility of students and staff.
- In the broadest tier are over a 100 partner institutions with whom we work on general student and staff mobility.
- In the middle are partners with whom we are benchmarking our degree programmes, work on common research projects, or even organising multiple degree programmes.
- At the top are our strategic partners. Partners at the top are also involved in all activities ranked below.
Embedding practice-oriented research in our organisation is one of the strategic priorities of UC Leuven-Limburg. We focus in particular on a strong relation between education and research.
ASSETS OF PRACTICE-ORIENTED RESEARCH
