University of Liège

The University of Liège doesn't have a "long" history: many universities in Europe date back to the middle ages. Nevertheless, ULiège also has ties to that period. And for two centuries, its rich and abundant history is also that of the Europe after the Treaty of Vienna, then with the history of Belgium and its scientific, social and cultural, economic, and industrial destiny.

Through its teaching, ULiège makes every effort to help everyone build their futures, now and throughout their lives. At the University of Liège, we offer 38 Bachelor degrees in various subject areas and after each of them there are more than 10 Masters to choose from. The master programmes are offered in all knowledge areas, in French or English, during the day or otherwise.

ULiège combines basic research with applied research to facilitate interdisciplinarity and contacts between scientists.

In research, the University of Liège offers numerous possibilities for:

• companies or organisations, both from the public and private sectors, that wish to develop collaborations or subcontract certain research tasks;
• second-cycle graduates who wish to be trained in research and to obtain a PhD;
• post-doctoral researchers who are looking to broaden the range of their activities as part of one of our renowned research teams;
• experienced researchers interested in an academic position combining teaching activities with conducting first-rate research activities.

Among the most important employers in the Liège region, ULiège generates from its several sites more than 5,000 direct jobs, comprised of 3,300 teachers and researchers, and approximately 1,700 management, administrative, technical and labour staff members. Here this varied panel of professions meets the needs of the institution as well as the challenges of a constant changing society and technology.
