HAUTE ÉCOLE DE LA PROVINCE DE LIÈGE

Outline:

Haute École de la Province de Liège is a public institution with 8,500 students (12% are international students) and more than 700 employees (teaching, administrative and technical staff). In 2007, the three Belgian Hautes Ecoles (Colleges) of the Province of Liège (Léon-Eli Troclet, André Vésale and Rennequin Sualem) merged into a single large ensemble called Haute Ecole de la Province de Liège.

The University awards 3 Master Degrees, 30 Bachelor Degrees, 12 Specializations and 16 Continuing Education Trainings, which integrate both theoretical and practical trainings and aim to give its future graduates practical qualification[1] and professional skills in a specific field. The trainings provide them with learning outcomes which they can validate in other courses of study and training. 

In the Belgian system, the University and Haute Ecole "bachelor" and "master" degrees have become equivalent as part of the Bologna process. The Higher Education Institution is acknowledged as a centre of excellence in the Province of Liège and, more broadly, in the French-speaking Community of Belgium.

HEPL has established relationships with more than 150 partner institutions in Europe as well as Asian and American countries, such as Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Peru. Each year, more than 100 international students join their University’s semester exchange.
