Exchange students can come to Hasselt University to follow programme components (take up credits), do complete internships or conduct research projects. An overview of possible programmes for exchange students can be found here. Please take note that the available courses might be subject to change. The final study guide will be updated by 30th June, for the academic year afterwards. Speak to your programme's internationalisation coordinator if you have any questions or if you would like more information.
In order to be eligible to follow programme components, there needs to be a bilateral agreement between Hasselt University and your home institution, and you should consult and adhere to academic calendars. You do not need a bilateral agreement if you are coming for an internship or research project, in this case you can speak to your programme's internationalisation coordinator.
In order to be able to apply as an exchange student, your home institution needs to submit your application to the international office. You will then receive an email with further instructions concerning your online pre-registration (go to diploma requirements for more information).
Please take note that the available courses might be subject to change. The final study guide will be updated by 30th June, for the academic year afterwards. Changes to your learning agreement are allowed until one month after arrival at our institution.

Autumn semester | mid September - beginning February (exam period: January-February)
Spring semester | mid February - end June (exam period: June)
2nd examination opportunity | August - September
All courses are taught in English, except for:
1| Course units marked with * are projects with individual coaching in English. The topic of the project is determined in advance based on your interests and background, and the research areas of the respective master programme. The size of the project can also vary (9, 20, 30 ECTS). In this way, you have a wide range of possibilities to compose your personal study programme. These courses can only be taken once in your programme.
2| Courses marked with ** are projects with a few classes in Dutch, study material and project guidance in English.
IMPORTANT:
1| All courses are elective.
2| Combining course units from the different exchange programmes of the Master of Engineering Technology is possible but not recommended because timetable clashes may occur. This implies that a choice must be made. Students cannot be admitted to courses whose classes they cannot attend.
3| Exchange students who are native speakers of Dutch or have an excellent knowledge of Dutch and meet all requirements for participation in master courses of the Dutch programmes Engineering Technology, may do so. Outlines from the Dutch courses can be obtained from the study guide, fully updated by June 30th.

The following minimum study programme is a strict condition for admission as an exchange student.
Exchange students are requested to follow courses and to sit exams for a study programme with a minimum of 18 ECTS credits per semester.
Students who stay for a full academic year are strongly suggested to choose a study programme of at least 42 credits.
Students staying for one semester are strongly suggested to choose a study programme of at least 21 credits.
This recommended minimum implies about 16 class hours on average per week or a total work load of 37 hours on average per week. To Belgian standards this is only a modest study load and represents only 75% of the normal study load for a UHasselt student.
When choosing a study programme from the different sets of courses available, exchange students should take into account several constraints:
Class attendance is required and will be checked.
For all subjects, 'regular' class attendance is a condition for being admitted to the exam. The requirement of 'regular' attendance means that one must be present for at least 80% of the class time. It also means that the student must be present on campus for the full teaching period (trimester or semester) during which the course is running. Teachers have the right to exclude students form exams for that subject if they are not in classes 80% of the time.
'Working on another subject' never is an acceptable justification for absence from class. Only medical reasons and other circumstances beyond one's control are accepted.
Being physically present in class is not sufficient. In many subjects it is mandatory to come well prepared to class and to contribute actively to problem solving exercises, discussions, case analyses etc. In some cases active participation in class is an element of the course assessment.
As the study groups are formed within the first week after the orientation program, teachers normally don't accept students who arrive to UHasselt more than two weeks after the start of the program. Exceptions can be taken into consideration only in case of serious illnesses or in the event of death of a family member.
Like Hasselt University students, exchange students are expected to take exams. The exam schedules are published four school weeks before the start of the exam period, and deviation from these dates is not possible. As exams can last until the last day of the semester, we advise exchange students not to plan their return trip until the exam schedule has been published.
Hasselt University grades exams on a scale from 0 to 20 per programme component. These grades should be interpreted as follows:
How do Hasselt University grades convert to ECTS grades?
ECTS grade | % of successful students normally achieving it | Definition |
---|---|---|
A | 10 | EXCELLENT: outstanding performance with only minor errors |
B | 25 | VERY GOOD: above average but with some errors |
C | 30 | GOOD: generally sound work with a number of notable errors |
D | 25 | SATISFACTORY: fair but with significant shortcomings |
E | 10 | SUFFICIENT: performance meets the minimum criteria |
FX | - | FAIL X: some more work is required before credits can be awarded |
F | - | FAIL: considerable further work is required |
Based on a statistical distribution of grades, the following scale must be used:
ECTS grade | Hasselt University grade |
---|---|
A | 17 or higher |
B | 15 - 16 |
C | 13 - 14 |
D | 11 - 12 |
E | 10 |
FX | 08 - 09 |
F | < 08 |
At the end of an exchange programme, the home institution will receive a transcript of the student's records with the result obtained for each programme component, as well as the number of ECTS credits. Only the programme components mentioned in the definitive learning agreement will be shown on the transcript of records, as the student was only registered for those programme components.
The International Office gives all exchange students a warm welcome and provides them information and support before, during and after their exchange period at Hasselt University.
