Collaboration

Hasselt University has institutional and faculty collaboration agreements with prominent universities, research institutes and academies all over the world, to give its (PhD) students, researchers and lectures the possibility to spend time abroad or develop international activities.

Thanks to these agreements Hasselt University welcomes foreign exchange students every year who come to study for a period for their Bachelor's or Master's degree. In turn, students at Hasselt University can opt for an exchange programme at more than 125 partner institutions abroad. In certain cases, students can also be granted scholarships to finance their stay abroad (e.g.: via the Erasmus + programme, the Priority Country Programme, ASEM-DUO, etc.).
