The Saint-Louis Brussels campus, a choice that makes sense

Want to study in the heart of Brussels, on a campus with a human scale where everyone knows each other (or almost)?

Discover the (other) advantages of the Saint-Louis Brussels campus:

From 2020 to 2024, the Saint-Louis Brussels campus led an internal project, ‘Tackling Student Failure, Rethinking Teaching and Learning,’ to gain deeper insight into the challenges faced by first-year students and enhance the support provided to them.

 

In practical terms, this means that on campus you will find:
 

  • · A supportive, human-scale environment
  • · Enhanced guidance to help you get off to a good start at university
  • · An innovative approach to learning that meets your needs and fits your life
  • · Practical measures to help you succeed

 

Some examples of these measures:  
 

  • Start Days 

Welcome days to learn the ropes, get information and develop good habits right from the start of the academic year.
 

  • Student support 

Guidance from second- and third-year students, the Buddies, to help you discover the university, meet new people, and get support in your courses.

Meetings with an academic or a guidance/reorientation counselor. 

 

  • Subject support

A strategic central location

 

The campus is located in the Botanique district, a few minutes' walk from Brussels city centre. It is close to numerous services, shops, libraries, cultural venues and restaurants, making your daily life convenient and dynamic.

 

What's more, Saint-Louis Brussels is a stimulating academic environment offering a diverse range of high-quality courses in the heart of a dynamic European capital. It is home to economic, political, media and social players, as well as national and European political institutions. This facilitates concrete and easy links in teaching and research activities.

 

Excellent accessibility by public transport

 

• Metro, tram, bus

The Botanique and Rogier stops, just a few metres from the campus, allow you to quickly reach the key districts of Brussels.

 

Several lines - TEC STIB and De Lijn - pass nearby, offering you extensive coverage of the city and its surroundings.

 

• Train

Brussels North Station is less than a 10-minute walk away, ideal if you are coming from another Belgian city.

 

• Villo! and soft mobility
 

Everything is designed to make your daily life easier, and student life is engaging, cultural, sporting and festive.

 

The reasonable size of the campus facilitates contact and exchanges within the student community, with the teaching staff and the various administrative services.

 

The Saint-Louis Brussels campus is committed to establishing itself as a privileged place for the development of a humanistic culture, the humanities and social sciences, and interdisciplinary exchanges.

 

One of its missions is to stimulate your interest, as a student, in the philosophical and epistemological foundations as well as the historical dimension of the disciplines you are studying.

The Saint-Louis Brussels campus offers you the opportunity to participate in national and international inter-university exchanges during your bachelor's programme.

 

The campus also encourages you and can provide financial support for language tests (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.) and for participation in various events taking place abroad: UN simulation sessions, hearings of supranational courts (European Court of Human Rights, Court of Justice of the European Union, etc.), study trips to London and international moot courts.

 

Finally, your faculty may award you a scholarship for a language study trip during the summer. Your results and motivation will obviously be important criteria for your selection.

 

Additional bachelor's degree programmes are one of the unique features of our campus.

 

The concept? 


You can start a second bachelor's degree alongside your main bachelor's degree.

 

This involves supplementing your main course with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 125 additional credits spread over several years. A series of courses taken in the main programme are credited towards the additional bachelor's degree and are therefore no longer subject to assessment.

 

The additional bachelor's degree can be completed after the main bachelor's degree.

 

The additional bachelor's degree has the same value as the main bachelor's degree and provides immediate access to the corresponding master's degree
