Université UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles

The Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles, began life in 1858 as a Philosophy Department in the Institut Saint-Louis. This department was set up to offer courses that prepared prospective law students for the ‘candidature’ exam, a pre-requisite for law degrees at the time, and which were then based on the study of philosophy and literature.

Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles will provide you with the basic training, as well as a certain level of specialisation in your chosen field. At the same time, we will develop your faculty for critical reasoning; a faculty which is, by definition, the very hallmark of a university education.

Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles boasts 4 Faculties spanning the spectrum of the human and social sciences and an Institute for European Studies. Together, they offer a broad range of Bachelor’s, Master’s and Specialised Master’s, and Doctoral degree programmes, as well as numerous lifelong and executive courses.

University teaching goes hand in hand with a consistent scientific research work, that feeds it and allows it to be continuously updated.
