Discover a lively and friendly campus
The University (Université catholique de Louvain - UCL) houses
most of the LSM students in Louvain-la-Neuve, where they benefit
from the resources, cultural activities and diversity of a dedicated
university town.

The City of Louvain-la-Neuve

For UCL’s 20 000 students and a current but constantly growing population of
13 000, Louvain-la-Neuve, or “LLN”, offers an excellent range of cultural and leisure
activities and services: live theatre, music, sports clubs and a broad selection of
stores and services as well as a shopping mall. A unique architectural concept gives
the priority to pedestrians in Louvain-la-Neuve’s centre, making it extraordinarily
pleasant to live in. An impressive number of research centres and scientific activities
have grown up around Louvain-la-Neuve’s central core. There is an increasing number
of companies in the Science Park, some of them spinoffs of UCL research. Other
companies such as IBA Abbott, Albemarle, KPMG, Lhoist, McKinsey, Nissan, Pfizer,
Tractebel have also established their research centres here.

Louvain-la-Neuve is 20
minutes from Brussels,
the political capital
of the European Union.

Centuries old

UCL is one of the oldest universities in Europe. Since the 15th century, these universities have been the
intellectual hub of their world, forming generation upon generation of students and questioning the mores
and technologies of their times. Erasmus, Mercator, Vesalius came to the University of Louvain, the biochemist
Christian de Duve received the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
