READING LIST

In case you really need a certain subject which is not offered at KU Leuven you can make an individual agreement with any of our professors for a reading list that

covers what is normally studied in a given course. Then you write a paper or do an oral examination (or a combination). To avoid misunderstandings the professor

needs to sign a form with the contents of the course. You can do max. 1 reading list per semester (6 ECTS each).

LANGUAGE COURSES

To perfect English and/or Dutch proficiency the Faculty reimburses 1 regular English (min. level 5 at CLT) or Dutch (elementary or advanced) course. Languages can

be included in the official programme on the condition that the home university agrees

ILT language courses:

o Modules of 80 contact hours: 6 ECTS (e.g. intensive courses of 12h/week/2 months, regular courses of 6h/week/1 semester)

o Modules of 60 contact hours: 4 ECTS (e.g. Dutch for Erasmus students)

CLT language courses: 6 ECTS per semester
