How to find a programme or a course?

If you are searching for a specific course or the content of a specific course, you can use key words and search through the main UCLouvain Study Programmes search engine (selecting English as the language of instruction will show you the list of available courses taught in English). The easiest way to do this is to click on the "Search for a course unit" tab.
As a general rule, courses with a number starting with 1xxx are Bachelor courses and courses with a number starting with 2xxx are Master courses.

You can access the full list of EPL Master programmes. In each Master programme, you can navigate through the different courses of this programme, and by choosing a specific course (e.g. LINGI2261) you will see specifications of the course, including the teaching language.

By choosing a programme, you will be able to navigate through the different courses of this programme (by clicking on “Programme” and then on “Detailed programme by subject”).
Meaning of abbreviations: eg. LELEC = L stands for Louvain, ELEC stands for electrical engineering
Note that q1 = Fall Semester courses,  q2 = Spring Semester courses, q1+q2 = full year courses, q1 or q2 = courses available in the Autumn and Spring semesters.

Course codes are classified by study fields as shown below:

• LGCIV: Civil engineering, environment, geotechnics, hydraulics
• LELEC: Electrical Engineering, cryptography, information security, electronics & control, telecommunications, information & signal processing, microwaves, electronic circuits & systems, MEMS & NEMS, nanotechnologies
• LINFO: Computer Engineering, communication network, artificial intelligence, software engineering & programming systems, networking & security
• LDATA: Data Science Engineering
• LINMA: Mathematical Engineering, optimization & operations research, systems & controls, discrete mathematics & computer science, bioengineering
• LMAPR: Physical, Chemical, Materials Engineering, nanotechnologies, inorganic materials & processes, polymers & nanomolecules, biomaterials & bioprocesses
• LMECA: Mechanical Engineering, aeronautics, mechanical manifacturing & production, energy, polymer & metal forming, numerical modelling in mechanical engineering, biomechanics
• LGBIO: Biomedical engineering
• LFSA: General undergraduate courses

Please note that, in general, the course timetables for the following academic year are available in mid-May of the previous academic year. However, you can use the current course timetables as a basis for creating your Learning Agreement. Timetable changes are usually minor from one academic year to the next.

Meaning of the course codes (see example below):

LEPL1109-Q1 = theory course (Cours Magistral - CM)
LEPL1109_Q1 = practical course (Travaux Pratiques - TP)
LEPL1109_Q1.x = practical course with a group number (which means that you can choose the group that suits you best according to your other course schedules)

Once you have chosen your courses, I strongly advise you to check whether you have any schedule conflicts via the ‘My Schedule’ application.

When you arrive at EPL, during the first week of classes, you will have the opportunity to try out the courses and make changes to your Learning Agreement if necessary (in case of timetable conflicts, etc.), in agreement with your home university and your EPL academic supervisor.
