Université Catholique de Louvain - UClouvain Speciality : Communication
programme: Communication and Media Studies

Most of my classes were in small groups, usually between 20 and 40 students, which made it easier to participate and stay focused. Only two classes had more than 50 students, so overall, it felt quite personal.

I appreciated the mix between more creative communication classes (like building a campaign for an NGO) and more structured, corporate ones, such as how governments can launch communication plans. That balance made the program feel both practical and diverse.

The slides from most teachers were clear, and some really made an effort to design them in a visually appealing way, which helped a lot during lectures. However, we had one group project with 10 people, and honestly, that felt too large to work efficiently — smaller groups would’ve worked better.

Outside of class, the university events created a great atmosphere — friendly and engaging. The university’s intranet was also very well-organized and useful, which made navigating classes and resources easier.

I would definitely recommend this university, especially if you’re interested in experiencing the typical Belgian student environment. It’s a good place to study if you’re looking for a mix of academic structure and a friendly, open atmosphere.
