Requirements

The university's own pages we could read do not state these requirements yet. Check the official admission page.

English test waiver

UCLouvain sets no university-wide English score. Most of its programmes are taught in French, and its central admission conditions ask only for a good command of French, proved by DELF, DALF, TCF or another official certificate if earlier studies were not in French; that proof is not needed for a programme taught entirely in English. For English-taught programmes the requirement is set by the faculty or programme, and the published figures differ. The Louvain School of Engineering asks holders of non-Belgian degrees for TOEFL iBT 87, including TOEFL at home, IELTS Academic 6, TOEIC 785 or Cambridge First, with an exemption for a degree taught in English. The Advanced Master in European Business and Economic Policy asks for TOEFL iBT 89 or IELTS Academic 6.5, valid for two years. The Economics School of Louvain only recommends a score.
