Euroscholars provides research study abroad experiences at 12 top universities in Europe.
Today’s spotlight is on K.U. Leuven University in Belgium.
As a
university, K.U.Leuven distinguishes itself from other research centres by its
autonomous statement of problems, by the disinterested character of its
fundamental research, by its focus on education and by the fact that within its
walls almost all academic disciplines are represented. In a number of fields
(such as biotechnology, environment, medical research, European integration and
diversity, arts and nanotechnology) the university aspires to a place among the
centres of excellence in Europe and in the world.
At K.U.Leuven, knowledge is transferred through high quality
interdisciplinary teaching. Study programs pay special attention to the
integration of professional training into a broad ethical, cultural and social
context of education. Rather than passing on mere factual knowledge, students
are encouraged to develop their skills to identify, formulate and solve
problems. Thus, the necessary conditions for a stimulating educational
experience are created. Special attention is paid to the steady evaluation of
the teaching process in order to enhance the students’ capacity to study
independently, to provide intensive individual guidance and an adequate
evaluation system, and to make sure that the teaching staff has excellent
didactic qualities, making use of new teaching methods and technologies.
