What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000246) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.2★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Belgium yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

I had a man... or young man on the phone... Not very friendly, I wanted to find out more but I understood that with him, I was not likely to get answers to my questions. Please put competent people at reception... it really gives a bad image of your establishment to have this type of individual on the phone.

La luz turismocadiz

The University was founded in 1834. There are two buildings on campus that are worthy of attention for lovers of architecture, the humanities, and the construction of Library A (the first building on this campus, if I'm not mistaken). The plain campus is very green and pleasant to walk around.

Zephirin Ikomba

I am contacting the Free University of Brussels. How can I obtain registration at this university in the Faculty of Medicine? What are the conditions? My daughter, who is a student at the University of Cyprus Science University in Cyprus, wants to continue her studies at the ULB.

Miarintsoa Neilla ANDRIANASOLO (Ntsoa)

Free... that can sum up a lot of things!!! I visited this university three times. I noticed the effectiveness of the professors as well as the teaching methods used. The university population is very diverse. The place is clean with new buildings and Wi-Fi coverage.

Robert Abbeels

You have an appointment, they ask you to be there 20 minutes early, which I do, and the doctor calls you an hour and 45 minutes late, and this happens 11 times out of 10! What a shame and a waste of time. Plus, the parking fee is frankly too expensive.

Yassine Ghallada

This university is disastrous in many respects. The administration is slow, disorganized, and often unreachable. Many professors adopt a passive and uninvolved stance. The academic support is inadequate, and recognition of the work done is …

Maciej

I only visited their NB library building and the experience was positive. The staff was really helpful and pointed me to the resources I needed with no issues. Their weekly pass is also quite cheap. One issue I found annoying was that the …

Christian Mukwayanzo

What a great pleasure to spend a spiritual moment of humanized philosophical management at Solvay Brussels School. I recommend it for increasing the depth of Reason and Desire as agile forces for producing a desired and not an imposed Future.

Tom

I graduated with a Master's degree in Social and Intercultural Psychology in 2022. I thoroughly enjoyed my studies, during which I learned many interesting things and where the professors provided excellent training in scientific thinking …

Yves-Rémi Van Eycke

The University was founded in 1834. The most easily accessible campuses are the Solbosch and Plain campuses. On the Solbosch campus, two buildings are worth seeing for architecture lovers: the Humanities Library and Building A (the first …

john smith

I am a foreign student, i visited belgium to search for a university but unfortunately when i went there no one could give me informations. I tried to call the other day but nobody answers, after 10 minutes they answered and connected me …

Poisk Kirpitcha

The administration is awful. I am not the only person who claims it. Especially, if you are non-French speaking international, never go there. They offer several English programms, but nearly noone speaks English in the whole admissions …

Carmen Rodriguez lobo

If you go on Erasmus, be prepared because they won't make things easy for you (I'm not talking about them giving you anything for free, but they'll literally treat you like a Belgian). The exams aren't too difficult, but if you fail, the …

Tim R

What can I say? Let's find the positives... if you stick it out you have a university degree, that's something. I finished my Master's degree there and I think I know the place. In terms of campus, there is very little: no places to sit, …

Camille Yala

I was admitted to the ULB (Université Libre de Bruxelles) 43 years ago in the Faculty of Humanities, after my diploma was validated at the Belgian Embassy in Kinshasa. Unfortunately, after going there and paying the tuition fees, I was …

Julien de Almeida

In recent months, several events have already damaged the ULB's image (occupation of buildings, attacks targeting Jewish students, attempts to censor debates and public figures, etc.). Authorizing a class to be named after "Rima Hassan" …

Don Zion

I am basing this review solely as a parent visiting and walking around the campus to preview the school. I have no idea on the level of education. Positives: Diverse looking studentbody intermixing with eachother. Some nice common areas …

Charles RAYNAUD

I received tremendous support following the fire in my son's apartment at the Gloria residence, of which he was a victim. The university offered him temporary accommodation, and social services found him a permanent solution within two …

Patricia Lahaeye

To all French students: Stay away. In short, Belgians have always hated the French. The professors treat French students differently, adding extra courses mid-year. This is designed to push them to their limits and force them out. Of …

Rohan Jadhav

I had the worst experience with their application process compared to any other universities. My application didn't go through after I completed the payment. Despite multiple follow-ups over several weeks, I received no updates or …

Oussema

Very confusing and needlessly complicated application process, after I paid the 200 euro fee my application didn’t go through and I missed the deadline, since then I have attempted numerous times to contact their support about a …

Mar Cordero

The building is magnificent! You can't miss at least a visit to the library on the ground floor; it looks like a palace or museum. It has a hidden section down the stairs where you can see (among other things) some painted murals. …

????????

I'm giving it two stars because, although I won't be continuing the rest of my studies, my year there was enriching, just like at any other school. A student fresh out of high school could very well thrive. …

Byakko-kun

Large with some greenery and beautiful buildings, but a huge disappointment to learn that the science and technology library is tiny and searching for books via the app leads me to other libraries ? …

Javier Terceiro

The Free University of Brussels (ULB) is a leading academic institution located in the city. Founded in 1834, it has grown to become one of the most prestigious universities in Belgium and Europe. …

Euridyce Pandora

ULB has a very large campus. It's quite easy to find your way around and locate the classrooms. A pleasant surprise in that regard.
Here on the Erasmus program, people are very helpful. …

David Paul Danos

A solid institution but far from the best. The professors are hit and miss, and the Belgian style of education leaves much to be desired (where exams are generally worth your entire mark).

Quentin b

Missing: Freedom of expression and freedom of opinion.
If you don't think the right way, you're banished. A university that is far from open-minded and is slipping in the world rankings.

Mh

So, enriching courses for some, boring for others… If you want to study at this university, RUN AWAY!
The professors and administration have absolutely no consideration for the …

Sihem Jaadi

Dear, How can I register my sister's daughter? She is very interested in your university. She lives in Tunisia and has achieved high marks in school so far. Thank you in advance.

Oliver Beguin

I'm a student and I find the cultural diversity within these walls remarkable. There are often evening activities in the cultural center, good libraries and good teachers. ? …

Webmaster CercleDesSciences

Very good university. I recommend the Cercle des Sciences (UD1.220), the servers are very pleasant and the clientele is warm. A little extra for the very aesthetic layout.

Guillaume Pirson

I’d say its 3,8 out of the ten because in my opinion I worth more than an average pupils so I need to have more accommodations that may make me feel unraised for peoples

I'm really unhappy with the reception desk. No one is available by phone, email, or in person, even though I urgently need information about my registration. …

Clémence (boochon_)

Best university in Belgium (even if I haven't really tried the others, let's say...).
It's a bit confusing at first, but thanks to the online tools, it's quick!

Pablo Yarm

I say yes to this university. Except for one downside: student baptism... it makes noise, it stinks. Don't do it, it's useless and it encourages alcoholism.

Moto Na Nkolo Jdd Ethys K

The building needs to be renovated.
Belgium needs to make an effort in this area. It's as if the building were in Africa, my god. The ULB is filthy. …

HENRI LAUS

The doctor in charge of my file is very competent and the staff are very motivated towards patients. Well done to the whole team. I would recommend it.

Adam Lord

Baptisms are a separate culture and the university does not even condemn people who abuse power during these baptisms, go somewhere else it is better

Erika

The registration process is very long. It's impossible to obtain a public transport pass during the registration period, which lasts until October.

Philou

A courteous and warmly welcoming place. A mixed-race atmosphere is welcome. No time-wasters, please. Philanthropic osteopaths, look elsewhere. …

Brussels hospitals have a long history, and therefore healthcare is going through a crisis that will not end without government help.

Atmosphere: The campus don’t inspire me to study, you walk around and you could think about anything but not about education ? …

Adem J. S (Ajax)

Both secluded and open to the city, this ideally located university also benefits from the aura of its great historical value. …

JINUK SONG

The cafeteria is inexpensive.
(Credit cards aren't currently accepted.)
The atmosphere is great for students to study and discuss.

Vincent Leclercq

An iconic Brussels university. Characterized by its method of education and, in particular, its “free examination” movement.

Jo Sydney

A university that names one of its criminology graduating classes "Rima Hassan" should not be teaching our young people. Period!

Nicolas Vincent

We went to the ULB campus to attend the Psychofest. The place is well-appointed, clean, and we were made to feel very welcome!

Jacques Lefrancq

Short hospital stay at Erasme Hospital. Very good care. Nursing staff somewhat overwhelmed on the floor where I was located.

Excellent welcome. Pleasant buildings. Good room service. Humane teams with top-notch medical and technological expertise.

Constantine Korobov

Been here on Fosdem 2016, liked it over all, a lot of different buildings, of different time and style.

carlos eduardo

Very, very poorly organized hospital. The doctors are very good! Now, the rest is completely worthless.

Lovejeet Sahota

The university is very poorly organized, and the Dutch-speaking universities are better in Belgium.

Nice buildings, could use some patching up on the inside though :)

oh yeah, FOSDEM rocks :P
