Unique profile
Our Problem Based Learning system is unique in Belgium! In such an educational environment students are personally responsible for their academic education. In small tutorial groups, they analyse problems, conduct discussions, exchange knowledge and formulate their learning goals as a group. This motivates them to do their own research.
By actively addressing a number of issues, students manage to grasp the theory and learn to apply their insights to various questions. Differing views enliven discussions and allow students to experience the true strength of the group’s cultural diversity. Moreover, students gain essential skills, such as how to present opinions, how to debate, how to write texts and how to work together.
Our learning system is effective: our graduates are assertive, independent and expert professionals. They are skillful in analysing complex issues, collecting and structuring information, working in international teams, conducting and leading discussions, and in creating and presenting ideas.
Jakub Stojan
Exchange student Brno, Czech Republic"Coming to Hasselt is like visiting a town you've never been to in your home country - although everything is new, you will find it friendly and familiar in every way possible. If you like local events, then Hasselt is the place for you - not only is there always something happening both on UHasselt and in Hasselt itself, but you will find yourself being a part of a tradition you never knew existed - maybe even drinking spirits from an inconspicous fountain while being cheered to by the locals!"
Carlotta Stolz
Exchange student Marburg, Germany"It was the best experience I could have had during my time at university! Great people, great country, great university - it was just amazing and hard to leave.“
Victoria Brisola Gandara
Exchange student São Paulo, Brazil"Studying at UHasselt as an exchange student has been an amazing experience and opportunity. The university staff is very welcoming and supportive, always being there when I needed them. The Law program is one of a kind, and being able to study at UHasselt will, for sure, be a great addition to my resume. Not only will it be professionally beneficial, but getting to know Belgian culture and all the country has to offer is enlightening. Experiencing different points of view is an amazing opportunity to grow personally as well. Finally, the city is beautiful (and the fries are amazing)! I wish everyone could experience this."

Our campus
The Law campus is situated in the centre of Hasselt.
Located, as it is, in the heart of the Belgian-Dutch-German Euroregion, Hasselt is a truly internationally-minded town. It is a stone’s throw away from cities such as Brussels, Liège (French speaking part of Belgium), Aachen (Germany) and Maastricht (the Netherlands), while Paris and London are all located within a couple of hundred kilometres of Hasselt.
Hasselt is a dynamic student town where young people feel comfortable and at ease. The town organizes all kinds of theatrical performances, music and pop festivals, either in the open air or in the well-known Trixxo Arena.
To taste Hasselt you can visit the Jenever (Gin) Museum, as well as to the many cosy restaurants and cafés dotted all over the town. You can visit St. Quentin’s Cathedral, the prestigious Fashion Museum, the Municipal Museum and the Virga Jesse Basilica, the beautiful Japanese Garden and the many green oases adorning the town. Hasselt is not only the capital of taste but also home to the true ‘bon vivant’!
