Three types of mobility programmes are offered by the Brussels School of Engineering:

  • Exchange programmes (Erasmus+ and bilateral agreements): you stay one or two quadrimesters at ULB, the scores obtained at ULB are transferred to your home institution (non-graduating program).
  • Double degree programmes with selected partner institutions: you get a degree from your home institution in addition to the degree from ULB (graduating program)
  • Internships: you spend a period in a research laboratory of the School, your home institution recognizes this stay as part of your program (non-graduating program)

ERASMUS / Exchange Programmes

Scores obtained at ULB are taken into account only for the degree at the home institution (non graduating programs)

The web site of the "Service de Mobilité Etudiante"  provides the relevant administrative information about the procedure and deadlines.

The mobility guide contains useful information about ULB, practical aspects of your stay, general academic information, …
