Université Catholique de Louvain – UCL Mons

Founded by a group of industrialists in 1896 to encourage international trade, the Université Catholique de Louvain – UCL Mons (previously known as FUCaM) continues to put the emphasis on the international dimension of its academic programmes and the importance of international exchanges. It is nevertheless deeply anchored in its home region and nurtures strong links with the City of Mons, the 2015 European Capital of Culture. The student is central to its concerns, who benefits from exceptional conditions to make a success of the university experience: personalised tutoring, adapted IT resources, etc. UCL Mons offers high academic standards in subjects such as management, politics, social sciences and communication, shored up by cutting–edge research and a range of options that allows students to put together their own personalised professional profile in line with their ambitions. It believes in fostering an open outlook through close relations.
