KH Kempen University College
Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen is a
University College with eleven departments and more than 6,400 students. KH
Kempen University College has always been an impulse for regional development in
the Kempen, a dynamic region in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of
Belgium.
The university college in its present form was founded in 1995,
when six institutes of higher education in the Kempen region merged. Each of
those predecessors, however, boast a reputation going back more than half a
century.
In 2002 Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen formed an association with the
Catholic University of Leuven, 11 other Hogescholen and the Catholic University
of Brussels. Together, its partners have more than 70,000 students in 23 cities
across Flanders.
Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen participates in ERASMUS ,
as well as in Leonardo and Tempus projects involving both student and teacher
mobility, pilot projects and curriculum development. There is also an active
participation in development projects (via the KULeuven association) and in
ERASMUS BELGICA, the exchange programme for the different language communities
in Belgium. KHKempen University College co-finances all these
projects.
KHKempen University College maintains excellent connections
with business and industry of the Kempen region and beyond, especially small and
medium-sized enterprises.
The eleven KHKempen departments are spread over
the Kempen, the region in the North of Belgium, east of Antwerp.
Six of those
departments, with roughly 4,000 students, form campus Geel in the city of Geel.
Three more KHKempen departments are located at campus Turnhout. The two other
campuses are situated in Lier and Vorselaar. All four locations are small cities
in a rural setting but with always something going on. Moreover, if you want to,
you can easily go to Antwerp, Brussels, Leuven or any other place by public
transport to get a taste of our historic places, recreational facilities and
other places of interest.
We welcome international Erasmus students in
