When to apply
Interested ECON2MS/G students must apply by end of January/early February of the academic year preceding the exchange.
The selection procedure and the deadlines are detailed in the agenda (login required). Failure to respect the deadlines would lead to the cancellation of the application.
How to apply
1. A pre-selection is done by the ESL international Committee on the basis of the following criteria:
- Academic results: past results, including the results of the January session of the year of application, number of credits approved during the master programme
- Motivation of the student: Letter explaining your motivations for the destination and the courses.
- Proficiency in the teaching language of the host university (+ basic knowledge in the main language of the country)
2. The application file should consist of:
- an application form duly filled in
- a motivation letter (briefly presenting your motivation in going to a specific exchange destination, choice of courses,...)
- your transcript of records of all the past academic years (passed or failed)
3. Once completed, please email your application (PDF format), to the following email address: international-espo@uclouvain.be or hand it in directly to the international office (Dupriez's Building - Ground Floor - D.010).
4. Your application will be reviewed by the International Committee. The committee reserves the right to invite the student to an inteview and/or a language test.
5. The pre-selected students will be notified by emails.
The final confirmation (in June preceding the exchange semester) is conditional on validating 50 ECTS at the Master level (over the last 12 months). The Bachelor degree should be successfully completed.
Important notice
- No remote or early exam will be organized for students who can't attend their exams at UNamur or UCLouvain due to mobility reasons.
- It is not possible to change the destination after the pre-selections have been announced.
- All courses pending successful completion from previous programmes will have to be passed before departure (in addition to the criteria above mentioned)
