About us

It is engaged in high-level research activities in close collaboration with socio-economic and cultural sectors, hosting researchers and students worldwide. UCLouvain offers a wide range of academic disciplines through its 19 faculties and research institutes, focusing on teaching, research, and societal service.

Where we are located: The university's headquarters is located at Place de l'Université 1, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Brabant Wallon, Belgium. It also has significant campuses in Brussels (Woluwe and Saint-Gilles), Mons, Tournai, and Charleroi.

Short history: Founded in 1425 by a papal bull from Pope Martin V, UCLouvain has a rich history spanning nearly 600 years. Following the 1968 split of the original Catholic University of Leuven, the French-speaking university established itself primarily in Louvain-la-Neuve from 1972 onward. It is recognized as one of the largest French-speaking universities in Belgium and consistently ranks among the top 150 universities worldwide.

Organization & culture: UCLouvain employs around 6,000 staff members across academic, scientific, administrative, technical, and logistical roles. The university fosters a multicultural and multilingual environment, emphasizing openness to the world and collaboration. It is a major employer in Wallonia and Brussels, with a strong commitment to excellence in education, research, and societal impact.

Recent developments: In 2025, UCLouvain celebrates its 600th anniversary with a year-long program of events and initiatives under the theme "Since 1425 and tomorrow." The university has launched IMPETUS 600, a major fundraising campaign to support its ambitions to rank among the world’s best universities and advance knowledge and society. Additionally, a new student app was introduced to enhance campus life and services.
