Hasselt University

Hasselt University adopts a truly student-centered approach in all study programmes to maximize learning outcomes: from a strictly guided learning approach at the outset of a BSc program to extremely flexible autonomous learning at the end of an MSc degree. Core to this approach is the straightforward interaction between students and professors/teachers with an emphasis on the students’ learning process (more than on the knowledge itself). Pedagogic and didactic choices are made in an effort to support this process, in the end to prepare for lifelong learning.

The Faculty of Business Economics focuses on a limited set of research topics: environmental economics, governance of family firms, patient-centric marketing, logistics, diversity in organizations, public management, business process modelling, and innovation management. All domains have their relevance in the ecosystem of the university. While striving for high ranked publications - over 50% in Q1 of the WoS - most topics run applied projects to foster decision makers in the local ecosystem. As such, the Faculty substribes to the 'civic' mission of Hasselt University.

Students of industrial engineering must have sufficient knowledge and skills to come to the independent use of the most important mathematical, physical and chemical concepts in technology and learn to acquire "problem-solving" thinking in projects and courses. He/she must be able to perform and acquire new information and be able to report about it. Also acquiring economic insight, working in teams and act as a representative are competences which are acquired during the education.

The education program is supported by three research groups: Center of Industrial Process technology (KU Leuven) , Polymer Processing & Engineering and Materials (KU Leuven) and Materials and Packaging Research & Services (UHasselt). These research groups interact with the education program by means of internships, optional courses and lectures which students can choose in their master or bachelor programme. In line with the educational program, research in these groups has a strong technical and application oriented nature due to several interactions with surrounding industry.
