Study abroad at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, KU Leuven - Tuition

Financing quality education is expensive and sometimes prohibitive, especially for those who cannot rely on an already over-stretched parental budget or are dependent upon student loans. While university level education in Belgium costs roughly the same as in other Western societies, thus guaranteeing the highest university standards, Belgium’s insistence on equal opportunity and democratic access for all to a university education has created a different approach to the financial burden it places on students. Students at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of the KU Leuven (Catholic University of Leuven) are expected to pay a tuition fee of around $500 (part-time) to $800 (full-time) total per year, an expense which includes all course and examination fees. The remaining student fees are subsidized by the government, in accordance with its desire to share its centuries-old academic tradition and internationally recognized expertise with the global community. Thus, for a relatively limited tuition fee, it is possible to enroll at one of the oldest and most prestigious theology schools in the world as well as to enjoy the experience of student life in a lively and cosmopolitan university-city.
