U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

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 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.

The student acquires specific competencies, knowledge and understanding in the domains of analysis and monitoring, process design and engineering, industrial (bio-) chemical processes and material science. An overarching trajectory is assigned to the domain of research and communication, where skills such as team working, communication and methodological research approach are developed. With support of both UHasselt and KU Leuven research groups, the student can choose between the options ‘sustainable process technology and pharmaceutical fine chemistry’ or ‘food processing and packaging’.

The institution's student-centered and interactive teaching profile promotes active learning and gradually gives students more control (incl. more responsibility) over their learning process. Learning is intensively guided by the academic staff, who are easily accessible. The study programme consists of a large diversity of educational formats and materials: lectures, small group sessions, practicals, laboratory sessions, projects, excursions and field work, individual guidance, group work, hands-on training, feedback sessions, ‘face-to-face’ education.

The bachelor/master civil engineering program at UHasselt is a broadband program aiming at educating multidisciplinary civil engineering experts able to operate as well in construction companies as in design offices in different fields of application, from buildings to infrastructures, covering design and execution aspects, with a focus on durability, quality and economical aspects. The program relies on a strong link with the practice (external lecturers, internships, collaboration on master's thesis).

The Construction Engineering Research Group (CERG) focusses its research on the analytical and numerical modelling as well as the experimental testing of mechanical behaviour of structural systems and the general design of road infrastructure. The synergy between the fundamental and application-oriented research allows CERG to investigate, model and simulate mechanical behaviour in pro- and interactive ways. The research group strives towards applying fundamental research into smart and practical applications that meet the current trends and needs of the construction sector and society.

The bachelor program relies on a common basis with other engineering specialties (90 ECTS are common). It is then progressively oriented towards Civil Engineering, in order to give the students a general background on civil engineering. It also includes a first introduction to research and innovation through the realisation of a project in one of the main research fields of the University (mainly construction materials, structural engineering and road design).

The master program enlarges the competences of the students in various fields of civil engineering without specific focus (it remains a non-specialized education program). A strong research and project component is included (more than 50% of the credits) and students can select a number of optional courses, mainly in one or more of the research and consultancy specialty of the University (i.e. structural engineering and road design, with courses as advanced modelling, innovations in concrete, advanced transporation planning..).

The institution's teaching and learning credo is “from guided self-study towards autonomous learning". It promotes active learning and gradually gives students more control (incl. more responsibility) over their learning process. Learning is intensively guided by the academic staff, who are easily accessible. Initiatives like coaching by staff and tutoring of bachelor students by master students contribute to the learning environment. Employability skills are gradually built up throughout the programme. Projects are an integral part of the learning environment.

The bachelor programme has a strong software focus where different programming paradigms are taught and used in increasingly advanced courses and in projects. Besides the broad fundamentals of computer science, supporting topics such as mathematics and problem solving, teamwork and communication, as well as broadening subjects from other disciplines (physics, business informatics, philosophy) are taken by all students. The programme is based on the ACM Computing Curricula.
