Student clubs

Student associations have formed around four types of activities:

  • Student representation is assured by the Louvain Student General Assembly (AGL) at the university level; student offices at the faculty level; and the General Coordination of International Students (CGEI).
  • An original idea that involves students sharing a flat and working together on a social, cultural or sport-related project in which they have a special interest, the so-called ‘kots à projet’ are home to nearly a thousand students each year.
  • Regional organisations (‘Les Régionales’) reunite students of the same geographical region and promote their local folklore on campus.
  • Faculty groups (‘Les Cercles’) bring together students of the same faculty.
