KU Leuven
speciality: Chemical Engineering

KU Leuven is a leading university in the research field. In its lab, every kind of equipment is present, thus research and innovations are its main profit venues.
The work environment is quite international, despite of the high presence of Dutch speakeing people.

So far my stay here, KU Leuven is beyond what it has been described, the lecturers are up to date on real-life happening in the world and the problem-solving strategies are well able to task the students beyond their imagination and bring the best out of them

First, let me start by stating the competencies. The professors are top class. Extremely professional and their knowledge exceeds normal standards. Fascinating curriculums and well established descriptions. Classes are a bit long but that is fine because the program is suited for working professionals as well (longer sessions but fewer days per week).
The direction is really understanding and the chairperson and staff is very friendly and responsive. Classes can be sometimes redundant on the other hand but that is because the material is highly interconnected.
As for the negatives, the environments is highly competitive and challenging. It can be a bit intimidating for international students as professors sometimes discuss matters in the dutch language with dutch students.
Material is somewhat difficult as the university is highly ranked so they have to meet the standards.
