Leuven campus
A city made for students
Push your thinking further in one of Europe’s most innovative cities
When you come to our Leuven campus, you might find it feels more like a home than a place of learning. It’s cosy, peaceful – and our smallest campus. Which means you’ll have lots of opportunities to get to know other students and participants. The city is home to KU Leuven and there’s a lively student vibe – with shops, restaurants and cultural sites.
Our Masters in Business Analytics & AI and Masters in Innovation & Entrepreneurship are based on our Leuven campus.
Inviting spaces to work and learn
Even when your classes are done for the day, you might find yourself wanting to stay on campus – because there are so many great spaces to study. From glass-walled breakout rooms for individual or group work to standing desks, there’s a spot for everyone. And of course, if you have any questions about your programme – or anything else – then our Masters and MBA office door is always open.
Fresh air, fresh thinking
If you’re looking for inspiration or just want to take a breather, head to the rooftop terrace. Great for outdoor studying, an al fresco lunch or a quick game of table tennis, the rooftop is the perfect place to rest and recharge. And if you really want to get closer to nature, there’s a beautiful green park just across the street. If it’s raining, don’t worry – there’s plenty of space to relax inside, and we even have table football.
A city that quickly feels like home
Leuven feels more like a village than a city – so you’ll learn to find your way around pretty quickly. It’s also home to KU Leuven’s 60,000 students – so there are always new people to connect with and plenty of facilities to enjoy. Then when it’s time to meet up with your new friends, head to the famous Old Market, a collection of student bars and terraces that open into the small hours. There are plenty of places to party in Leuven!

FAQs
How do I get there by public transport?
The easiest way to reach Leuven is by train. There are several trains every hour stopping in Leuven. Be careful when buying your ticket to Leuven as there is another train station in Belgium called “Louvain-la-Neuve”. This is a university town in Wallonia, around 30 km away from Leuven.
For train schedules and prices see the website of SNCB/NMBS, the Belgian train company, or their mobile app.
When you arrive in Leuven, you can either walk to our centrally located Leuven campus (1.5 km) or take a bus. You can find bus schedules on the website of De Lijn, the Flemish public transport company, or through their mobile app. The bus stops closest to the campus are Sint-Michiels Kerk or Rustoord Remy.
