UCLouvain has published the International Welcome Guide, which will help you to understand the formalities and procedures that are required before and after your arrival in Belgium. You will find information on immigration regulations, accommodation, university enrolment and registration, the various support services at your disposal and all kinds of explanations to help you settle at UCLouvain.
A special page for newcomers has been set up, and is constantly being updated, by the Welcome Desk Researchers, a service helping international researchers arriving in Belgium and at UCLouvain.
Non-French speaking newcomers may also take French courses.
