nstitutions of higher education distributed over 23 Flemish
towns and serves
70,000 students, which amounts to about 45% of Flanders students in
higher
education.
A CAMPUS OF K.U.LEUVEN
Students are very much part of
Leuven here. This campus is a component of
K.U.Leuven, with which it shares
its programmes, its professors, and its high standards
for quality in
education, research and service to the community. The campus has some
120
academics in residence, complemented with some 100 Leuven academics
who
regularly teach in Kortrijk. Our Alma Mater is an internationally
renowned institution,
with excellent education and research potentials and
with strong networks, both locally
and internationally.
Campus
Kortrijk has chosen to be a campus which provides a launch pad for
university
studies.
With some exceptions, students at our campus take
the first two years of a bachelor s
degree. They generally continue their
studies in Leuven. By focusing on the crucial first
years of an academic
training and by maintaining relatively small groups of students per
field, we
are able to provide our students with optimal support and tuition in the best
of
environments.
The architecture of our campus site with its
interconnected spaces, set in a green oasis,
creates a congenial backdrop for
friendly social contacts across the boundaries of
disciplines. Is there any
other place where future lawyers, physicians, linguists,
scientists, etc. can
meet each other and exchange ideas so freely?
ACTIVATING INITIAL
EDUCATION
Campus Kortrijk has around 1000 students. Central to their training
is the total concept
of Guided Self-study , in which a strong link between
research and tuition is of vital
importance. Students are responsible for
their personal learning process, but they are
not left to their own devices.
The principal role of the lecturers is that of facilitators. Their
challenge
is to create powerful learning environments by introducing new and
interactive
working methods that make learning an interesting and varied
activity.
The campus has extensive ICT facilities. Whether from home, a
rented room, or in the
on-campus PC rooms and Language Centre, students can
access course-supporting CDROMs
and/or self-developed electronic study
materials and tests.
