Entry requirements
Typically for Belgian universities in this band, a relevant bachelor's in the same field — a three- or four-year Indian bachelor's from a recognised university is usually considered, though it is assessed for equivalence and subject match. For English-taught master's in Flanders, IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0 (or an equivalent TOEFL score) is common and some programmes ask 7.0, while French-community universities teach most master's in French and expect roughly B2 French (DELF/TCF) — so confirm an English-taught version of your programme exists before applying. Where the subject overlap is only partial, a preparatory or bridging programme (a 'voorbereidingsprogramma') is common rather than direct entry. Requirements vary by programme — Vibedu confirms the exact ones for you, free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.
Tuition + living cost calculator
Estimate your total cost of study. Pick your programme length: We don't have a source-backed tuition figure for Université catholique de Louvain, so this covers living costs only. Pick your programme length:
Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, €). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in €, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (31 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from € at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
