UHasselt - tUL
What does 'tUL' entail?
tUL stands for the ‘transnational University Limburg’. This is a unique collaboration between two universities in two countries: Hasselt University and Maastricht University. In this way, the tUL is an extraordinary example of the internationalisation of higher education in Europe. After all, the tUL organises research and education at two campuses in two different Member States.
UHasselt - tUL: What's the difference?
If you do your PhD at UHasselt, then UHasselt will grant you a PhD. For some fields of study, UHasselt can only enter into a PhD through a partnership with Maastricht University, known as the ‘transnational University Limburg’.
