FAQs

  • Applicants for the Master of Computer Science must have a field-specific educational background: you have completed an academic bachelor's programme either in engineering science with strong components in computer science and mathematics, or in informatics or computer science with a strong component of mathematics.

  • Higher education is highly valued in Belgium and therefore subsidised by the government. This allows KU Leuven to keep tuition fees relatively low, which gives you a price/quality ratio very few top-100 universities can match

  • With an acceptance rate of merely 34% for international students, Catholic University of Leuven is a very competitive university to get into. This figure tells us that KU Leuven accepts approximately only 34 out of every 100 applicants on an average.
