UCLouvain refugee support

Supports students at risk

UCLouvain participates in Higher Education in Emergencies, a global movement that aims to promote refugee’s access to higher education. Access to higher education for refugees is essential. In the short term, the movement promotes host country social integration in line with refugees’ talents and skills; in the long term, it trains future leaders, entrepreneurs and other talented individuals who are needed to (re)build the home country. UCLouvain refugee support projects are led by the Pro-Rector for International Affairs Professor Dana Samson, who is responsible for human rights issues.

In order to centralize requests from associations and proposals made by the university community, a single entry point to the university has been created : refugees@uclouvain.be . Any association or person with a request or proposal is invited to send an email.

Procedure

Isolated courses: Refugees have the possibility of registering for three isolated courses in order to familiarize themselves with the Belgian higher education system. They are exempt from registration fees and administrative costs (registration on the roll). They are invited to first consult the faculty of the studies concerned to identify the isolated courses, then the Registration Service for registration for these isolated courses after agreement from the faculty. Regular program: For registrations for a regular program, the procedure to follow is available on the pages of the Registration Service . In order to help them in their procedures, refugee students can contact the Information and Orientation Center to support them in their orientation, with the Lycée Martin V, for a 7th Special Math or Science and, more generally, with the University Support Service to guide them in their procedures. At the Registration Service, the contact persons are Laura Haineaux (Louvain-la-Neuve site) and Sandra Katanga (Brussels-Woluwe site).
