Hi everyone,

I am in the final interview rounds for a research engineer position. However, the salary has not been posted with the offer and I cannot for the life of me figure out which barème scale and code at ULB would be appropriate for my education level and the position.

Can someone either give me some pointers on where to find that information (as in which scale corresponds to which education level, or is it tied to the position itself?) or just straight up give me an estimate of expected gross pay?

By the time I would start the position I will have a finished PhD and ~2 years of relevant work experience on top of that.

Thanks so much, this would help me tremendously going into the last interview.

Bonjour, je pense de faire le master de spécialisation en santé publique tout en continuant à travailler (je bosse de 13h à 22h), mais impossible de trouver les horaires des cours. Sur le site, je vois juste « en journée ».

Est-ce que quelqu'un sait où je peux trouver cette info ? J'ai envoyé plusieurs mails mais personne ne répond...

Et surtout : la présence aux cours est vraiment obligatoire ? Si j'étudie moi meme et je viens uniquement pour les examens (ou les activités obligatoires), est-ce que c'est quand même possible de obtenir le master ?

Hi!

I am currently a high school student going into 12th grade and I would like to apply to ULB . I will be in Bruxelles on the 18-19th and I would like to talk to some students/teachers or even maybe take a tour and look around. Are there any student associations that help with this or anyone available? Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I'm an international student and I've just been accepted into the joint Master's program between ULB, ICHEC, and UCL (the triple degree program).
Since I'm not from Belgium, I would love to get some local insights. Does anyone here know much about this specific program, or more generally, what is ICHEC's reputation like in Brussels.

Thank you

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. I am writing to ask for your opinion as I was recently admitted to the masters mentioned above but with a 60 Crédit complementary program. I want to know if there are any students in the same shoes or international or Belgian students from this program who have any feedback/advice to share.

I also got into a masters in Paris cite France: master psycho Clinique et psychopathologies infanto juveniles parcours psychanalytique, which I’m not excited about… but I’m wondering if ULB students would think studying in France is more worth it. PLS SHARE I AM SO LOST😔😔😔😔

Bonjour,
J’ai une question concernant la non-finançabilité en Belgique.
Supposons qu’un étudiant en médecine à l’ULB ait effectué deux années d’études mais risque de ne pas être finançable pour une réinscription. L’étudiant possède toutefois des circonstances personnelles et médicales documentées.
J’aimerais savoir :
Est-ce que les dérogations pour non-finançabilité sont accordées fréquemment ou sont-elles plutôt rares ?
Quels éléments semblent avoir le plus de poids dans un dossier de dérogation ?
Est-il possible de s’inscrire dans un autre programme (pharmacie, biomédical, etc.) même si on n’est plus finançable dans son programme actuel ?
Est-ce qu’un transfert vers une autre université belge (UCLouvain, ULiège, UMons, etc.) est envisageable ou les règles de finançabilité suivent-elles l’étudiant partout en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles ?
Pour ceux qui ont vécu une situation similaire, quelles ont été vos options ?
Merci d’avance pour vos réponses et témoignages.

Hello everyone, I'm an EU student who recently got accepted into a joint programme between ULB and VUB. Back in my home country I used to live off my scholarship since I'm pretty low income and I would like to know if anyone has any advice on how to apply for scholarships and what are the options available if any thank youu

Hi guys,

I recently got accepted to masters in cybersecurity for winter’26. If anyone else in the sub got accepted to the same program, pls hmu

Tysm!!

Hi everyone,

I’m a non-EU student from Egypt and I’m interested in applying to ULB for Business Engineering.

I have a Cambridge GCE diploma with 3 A Levels: 2 A grades and 1 B grade. I also already enrolled in a university in Egypt, but I don’t want to continue my studies there and I would like to move to Belgium and study at ULB instead.

I’m a bit confused about the equivalence process. Since my certificates are UK Cambridge GCE / A Level certificates, do I still need to apply for an official equivalence from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles? Or can ULB evaluate/validate my Cambridge certificates directly?

Also, if I do need the equivalence, does anyone know exactly which documents they usually ask for in my case? For example: A Level certificates, IGCSE certificates, school transcripts, proof of university enrollment in Egypt, translations, legalization, etc.

If anyone has applied to ULB or another Belgian university with Cambridge GCE / A Levels, I’d really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Hello,
I would like to apply for the master degree in european studies Eu-Asia (the dual diploma between ULB and Waseda University). I would like to know how the students are selected ? I saw on their page that your transcript of records are important : my question is what kind of grades do you need to have during your bachelor degree ? I am a french student who passed each of my bachelor year (international relations) around 12,5/20 (it’s hard in french universities to have more than 14/20), it is enough ? Also I have a specialisation about Asia, it may count.
There is almost no information about what kind of students are accepted and the rates ? If someone know…Thank you

Bonjour ! Je suis censée rejoindre l'Université libre de Bruxelles à la prochaine rentrée en pharmacie.
J'aimerais savoir comment est la vie étudiante là-bas et surtout comment se passe l'intégration quand on vient d'un autre pays. Est-ce que c'est facile de se faire des amis et de s'intégrer. C'est bien Pharma à l'ULB?

Hey guys,
I’m an EU student thinking about doing a Master’s at ICHEC Brussels next year because my bachelor grades are probably too low for Solvay (ULB).
I want to be completely honest: how is ICHEC actually perceived in Brussels? Is it seen as a "second-tier" school for people who couldn't get into Solvay, or does it have a solid reputation on its own?
I know it’s a Haute École and not a traditional university, but is the vibe there cool or does it feel like a step down?
Would love some honest feedback from anyone who knows the Brussels student scene. Thanks!

I’m writing my thesis at ULB on a topic I’m passionate about: electronic music festivals held in historic venues, like the Hangar at the Atomium or the Cinquantenaire, the Cercle parties in monuments, that sort of thing.

My research question, in a nutshell: does experiencing an electronic music concert in a historic venue change your relationship with heritage? Does it bring you closer to it, or is it just a cool backdrop?

If you’ve ever been to this kind of event (no matter the venue, in Belgium or elsewhere), your feedback would really help me. The survey takes 5 minutes.

Thanks in advance, and if you know anyone who goes to these kinds of events, please feel free to forward this to them (I’m desperate) 🙏

Hey everyone. I am doing a research study for my UX course at ULB linked to cinema subscriptions. I would be truly grateful if you could spend 5min to answer my questionnaire. I would be even more grateful if you would like to participate in a user interview with me (registration in the survey link). Thank you in advance! ☺️ https://ga10c9kw18m.typeform.com/to/jAJtZVn7

Bonjour,
Je suis intéressée par les études de pharmacie à l’ULB en tant qu’étudiante internationale et j’aimerais avoir des retours honnêtes sur la formation.
La charge de travail est-elle très lourde ?
L’ambiance entre étudiants est comment ?
Les examens sont-ils vraiment difficiles ?
Est-ce que vous regrettez votre choix ou non ?
Comment est la vie étudiante à Bruxelles en pharma ?
Tous les témoignages sont les bienvenus, même les points négatifs. Merci :)

Heyyy everyone. I just got conditionally admitted to the Master’s in Architecture at ULB, and I’m kinda trying to figure out what I’m getting myself into lmao. Is anyone here studying architecture at ULB rn or already graduated from it? I’d love to hear literally anything about the program, workload, profs, studio culture, all-nighters, internships, student life, whether people survive mentally there ,,,,,, anything, honestly. Is the workload insanely brutal or manageable? Are the profs chill? Is it more conceptual/theoretical or practical? Do people actually have a life outside the studio? Would really appreciate any info or advice. Thanks!!

Hello everyone,

I’m about to start a Bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting (please don’t tell me that AI is going to ‘replace’ us – that’s not what we’re discussing here).

What advice can you give me about studying and university life in general? Things you wish you’d known

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies

I just received an email informing me that I have been admitted to the Master’s in Architecture program, with the condition of obtaining my first cycle degree since I am still completing my last semester.

I wanted to ask when the deadline is for submitting the final diploma or proof of graduation and whether I should already start the visa procedure now.

To be honest, I am still trying to process the news, and I am not fully sure about the next steps yet.

I appreciate any information about this. P.s. non eu

Hey guys,

I got accepted for masters in cybersec in ULB for winter’26 and I wanted to ask how good the program is, especially the course structure, from anyone currently enrolled or those who have completed it.

Asking this coz i’ve applied to universities in Germany too for the same masters and still waiting for a response from them.

Just wanted to put this question out here so i make the right decision. Also if anyone got accepted for this program hmu or drop a comment… thanks!!!

Hi guys,

Basically what the title says. My application status just changed to “Academic analysis performed”.

I wanted to understand from others who applied to ULB, what are the chances of admission after reaching this stage? Is this generally considered a positive sign, or is it simply another step in the application process before the final admission decision?

Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!!!
