Congratulations, thank you and welcome. As you will soon find out, Liege definitely deserves its reputation as a "land of hospitality". A cosmopolitan town with a rich history, Liege has succeeded in combining its Latin and German ancestry. The present guidebook should help you in your first contacts with Belgium and the Liège area. It includes practical information which should provide answers to questions about accommodation, transport and administrative steps, and we hope will make it easier for you to find your place among Liège students. ECTS Label Diploma Supplement Label 2 0 0 9 - 2 0 1 3 2 0 1 0 - 2 0 1 3 Awarded by the European Commission to Awarded by the European Commission to UNIVERSITÉ DE LIÈGE Université de Liège Throughout your visit among us, our team will be available to help you so that your visit to our university is as successful as possible, both from an academic and personal point of view. Our university is keen on offering the best to international students and suggests several events that should help them integrate and collect information. It was twice rewarded in this respect with the ECTS and DS labels awarded by the European Commission. Such ULg implantation sites The University of Liège is mainly located in and around Liège: in the city centre and on a wooded hill some 10 km south of the city called Sart Tilman. This guide develops information about the Liège campuses. It includes two other campuses: • For Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech see www.fsagx.ac.be • For the Arlon campus, see www.dsge.ulg.ac.be/arlon labels are a reward for the way foreign students are made to feel welcome in our institution (ECTS) and for the quality of information provided on degrees awarded so as to favour the internationalization of its graduates (DS). ULg thus belongs to the close circle of 17 European universities (and the only university in Belgium) to be rewarded with the two labels. With the ECTS Label, the European Commission acknowledges the quality of services in the field of students’mobility. The ULg relies on the ECTS and uses all the related documents so as to ensure full transparency of results and academic recognition of study abroad periods. If after having browsed our website, you still have some questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcome you at the ULg !

An invisible linguistic border divides the country roughly into two parts : the French speaking South and the Dutch-speaking North. There is also a German-speaking community along the German border. Brussels is an important bilingual entity (French-Dutch), with a French-speaking majority. Apart from a few exceptions, the other regions are monolingual. To meet everyday living expenses a single student should have at least 600 € per month at his/her disposal. To this amount he/she should add study-related costs (books, etc.). The climate The climate may not be the reason why you have chosen to study in Liège. Belgium is known for its changing skies. The climate is often unpredictable. The temperature may vary widely from day to day. Winters are usually mild, and summers usually quite pleasant, if not hot.

Sart Tilman There is also an open-air museum with 80 works of art integrated into the landscape. www.ulg.ac.be/museepla ➜ map of Sart Tilman You can reach the Sart Tilman by bus with lines 28, 48 and 58. Most of the University buildings are located on the Sart Tilman Campus, about 10 km from the city centre. It covers some 1,820 acres, half of which are still woodland. Some parts are devoted to leisure activities: walking, cycling and riding, sports and barbecues. The scientific, didactic, hospital, sports and tourist infrastructures are located in clearly delimited zones – all in full harmony with the beautiful natural surroundings. Downtown University buildings The downtown University buildings host the Rector’s office and all administrative services, including the General Direction for Education and Training and services running students affairs and the curriculum, as well as the arts faculty (Philosophie et Lettres). "HEC–Management School–University of Liège" has two venues, one downtown (rue Louvrex, 14) and the other one at Sart Tilman (Boulevard du Rectorat, 7-Bât. B31). The Faculty of Architecture offers courses on two locations downtown: the Botanical garden and Outremeuse. Arlon For over 30 years the Arlon campus has been dedicated to university teaching and research in the field of environment. It is both friendly and modern, and offers all the services and infrastructures needed to accommodate students and their learning activities: lodgings, cafeterias, libraries, sport equipments. Arlon is a centre of trade, industry and culture which students appreciate. www.dsge.ulg.ac.be/arlon ULg_guideaccANG_2011:2009-2010 23 11 The University of Liège 20/05/11 14:13 Page 11 Gembloux Gembloux is a small and friendly city of some 20,000 inhabitants. It hosts Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech (the name of the Faculty of agronomy in Gembloux) with research projects that have been internationally recognized for over 150 years. At the cutting edge of research on sustainable development and eco-innovation, it is mainly dedicated to agronomical sciences and biological engineering. The Faculty’s buildings as well as most students’ lodgings are close to each other, which makes it possible to do without cars or motorbikes. www.fsagx.be Detailed information for exchange students at Gembloux is available at www.fsagx.ac.be/index.php/fr/futuretudiant/etudiant-international ULg_guideaccANG_2011:2009-2010 2 12 The University of Liège 20/05/11 14:13 Page 12 4 Studying at the ULg A balanced European university curriculum In Belgium the university curriculum is based on the European model. It consists of 5 years (6 for veterinary medicine, 7 for medicine) divided into 2 cycles: 3 years to complete a Bachelor’s degree (180 credits), and (in most cases) 2 more years for a Master’s degree (120 credits). Thanks to a combination of options, study paths and modules, the University of Liège offers every student the academic development that fits best his or her personal project. Master's programmes can be adapted to the student's professional goals thanks to a variety of options, modules, and the chosen approach (30 credits out of 120). Exchange students are not bound to the study paths offered. However, it is strongly advised not to choose too widely divergent courses in the Learning Agreement. The Master’s degrees include various approaches: • The in-depth approach includes thorough learning in a particular field and the acquisition of the necessary methodology to do research. • The didactic approach includes the acquisition of pedagogical skills needed to teach in secondary schools. • The specialised approach trains students for a profession related to their course of studies. After their Master’s degree «120» our students can do an additional Master’s degree or a third cycle (Doctor’s degree – 180 credits). The PhD course leads to the academic title of doctor. It may only be read after a course of at least 300 credits (bachelor's degree + ULg_guideaccANG_2011:2009-2010 20/05/11 14:13 Page 13 2 13 master's) and consists mainly in preparing and presenting a thesis. The PhD course includes a PhD training of 60 credits completed by a research training certificate. This training is linked to the specific skills of the research teams and grants graduates with high scientific and professional qualifications.

As a rule, the second assessment occurs during the third set of exams (August-September). The Faculty may decide special examination modalities for exchange students (Erasmus programme, Erasmus Belgica, cooperation agreements). In this case the exchange student must get in touch with the involved professors and the departmental coordinator at the beginning of term. Examiners convey the results of their assessments using a figure between 0 and 20, with 10 out of 20 being the pass threshold for individual courses. Local grade Qualitative definition <8 8 or 9 10 or 11 12 or 13 14 or 15 16 or 17 18 to 20 Serious failure Failure Weak Satisfactory Good Very good Excellent Exchange students have the results of the examinations they took in Liège validated by their home universities. The "Communauté française de Belgique" requirements to pass into the following years are not applicable to them. When you take an examination, remember to tell your teacher or to write on your exam paper that you are an exchange student; mention the name of your ULg department coordinator. Marks received at ULg are transferred to the student’s home university by the ULg departmental coordinator and related to ECTS marks according to the following grid. www.ulg.ac.be/examens Institutional grade 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 Grading percentage 0,47 1,46 4,96 8,40 13,17 14,93 16,55 14,41 12,36 7,52 5,78 % % % % % % % % % % % Added percentage 0,47 1,93 6,89 15,29 28,45 43,38 59,93 74,34 86,70 94,22 100,00 % % % % % % % % % % % ECTS grade A A A A B B C C D D E TS de ULg_guideaccANG_2011:2009-2010 2 15 The University of Liège 20/05/11 14:13 Page 15 5 Faculties There are 9 Faculties, 1 School and 1 Institute at the ULg.

The figure for each course (from 1 to 60) corresponds to the relative amount of work required from students for this particular course, including tutorials, labs, workshops, field work, internships, and personal research (whether at home or in libraries) as well as class attendance. Time spent in preparing for and taking exams or tests is also included. One credit is supposed to correspond to about 30 hours of learning.

The DS Label is awarded for the quality of information on degrees and their supplements. In 2009 the University of Liege was awarded the ECTS Label. Only 28 European universities can currently claim this award. In 2010 ULg was awarded the 2nd European label, the DS Label. With this second award the University of Liege became the only Belgian university with these two European awards, and entered the circle of 17 European universities that can claim them both. The Diploma Supplement is an exhaustive and standardized document that is appended to all higher education degrees. It provides detailed information on the students’ university curriculum, the study programme, the skills acquired. It makes the diploma more readable and more easily comparable abroad. It ensures a great transparancy, wheter for other university institutions or for future employers. Through the ECTS Label the European Commission acknowledges the quality of the ULg's support to mobile students – especially in the field of information and services. As it conforms to ECTS-related procedures, the ULg makes sure that results are both accessible and easy to transfer, and thus that the academic value of students' stays abroad is recognized.

Before leaving your home country, you should ask for the Health insurance european card. This form covers you in case of illness abroad, and is valid for a maximum of one year. If you need to see a doctor in Belgium, youwill have to subscribe to a health insurance fund with your Health insurance european card. You will then be refunded for many of the medical costs you incur in Belgium. Moreover, in order not to be confronted with difficult situations, we highly recommend that you take out a mobility insurance policy such as "Tous risques". • However, if you are from a non-EEA country, you must have social coverage to stay in Belgium, either through insurance such as "Tous risques" taken out in your country of origin, or in Liège.

You have to find your bearings, meet new fellow students, locate rooms and all sorts of necessary information, not to mention lodgings... This necessary adaptation process takes time and energy. Liège students may at first seem rather standoffish, but if you turn to them and ask for help or advice, they often turn out to be friendly and generous. In order to facilitate contacts between exchange students and local students, the ULg set up a tutoring system in which local students offer their help and support to newcomers – show them the city, the university, and contribute to their smooth integration into the local life. The International and Erasmus Office can provide the names and addresses of local students involved in this scheme, but will not interfere in your meetings.

Discover the city on the website: www.ulg.ac.be/liege Some interesting websites: www.liege.be www.liegeonline.be www.escapades.be www.liegetourisme.be Printable maps: www.access.ulg.ac.be/access The city of Liège Liège is located in the French-speaking part of the country, of which it is the most significant city. Liège is a child of the river Meuse: the river has given the city its shape and moulded the character of its citizens. Take your time to discover this multi-faced city and its many neighbourhoods, which are like so many small villages. On Sunday mornings go and stroll through the "Batte", the longest market in Europe, along the river. Liège and its area rely on water and fire: the fascinating alliance of opposites. The history of Liège and its province is closely linked to that of coal. From this burning stone comes one of the city’s nicknames: "La Cité Ardente". This means that though the sun doesn’t always shine on Liège, you will still find it in the heart of its citizens. The first image that Liège and its province give to tourists is one of a welcoming, animated region. 30 km from the Netherlands, 45 km from Germany, 2.15 h. from Paris and 3.15 h. from London, the metropolis stands at the heart of Europe, at the crossroads of Latin and Germanic cultures. Liège is obviously a student town. Its nightlife is busy and lively. Evenings in the downtown streets called "le Carré" are unique. This part of the city has a double life: luxury shopping by day, and by night busy students cafés and discos where you can eat, drink and dance till dawn. If you like the arts you will find much of interest: the ORW (Royal Opera of Wallonia), the Philharmonic Orchestra, about a dozen theatres, some pop-rock, electronic music and jazz festivals, international contemporary dance and theatre gatherings, poetry festivals, etc. Many cinemas offer a wide range of films, from the more experimental to blockbusters. Should you want to escape from the city, just take a bus for about 10 kilometres. Liège is surrounded with green, wooded areas. The Sart Tilman woods, which belong to the University, are undoubtedly the most easily accessible and most rewarding in their layout. Liège also stands on the threshold of the Ardennes. Don’t hesitate to go a bit further to discover this country of sudden deep and twisting valleys where you can walk or cycle, visit castles and abbeys, breathe pure air and enjoy cheerful hospitality. So welcome to Liège!

There are about 7,000 "kot" and studios in Liège. What is a "kot" ? It’s an individual room, generally furnished and rented by the landlord. Usually there are several kots in the same building. Students share facilities such as toilets, bathroom and kitchen. A room can also belong to the landlord's house, and the student will then share some facilities. They can also choose fully independent lodgings (studios or small flats). The price for a furnished kot is around 275 €/month, additional costs not included. There are two types of prices: those that include the cost of electricity, heating and gas and water, and those that don’t. The landlord can also demand a monthly provision for expenses with final settlement based on meters at the end of the student’s stay. Make sure that you take this into account when comparing prices. To have more choice and take time to compare lodgings, we advise you to arrive in Liège at least one or two weeks before the beginning of classes. It is better to wait till you are here to make a choice and to pay nothing before you have seen the place.
