Universiteit Hasselt
Universiteit Hasselt was established in 1971. Until 1991 it was an undergraduate level university institution consisting of two faculties: the Faculty of Medicine-Dentistry and the Faculty of Sciences (with study programmes in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Biology). In 1991 Hasselt University expanded by transforming the Limburg Business School (Economische Hogeschool Limburg), an independent university college which was located on the same campus, into the Faculty of Applied Economics. At the same time, Hasselt University became entitled to organize postgraduate programmes and to award doctoral degrees in its three Faculties.
Universiteit Hasselt
In 2001 the Flemish and Dutch Ministers of Education signed an International Treaty by which the transnational University Limburg was founded. Academic staff from Hasselt University and from nearby Maastricht University (in the Dutch Province of Limburg, the Netherlands) jointly undertake research activities and offer degree programmes in Life Sciences and Computer Sciences.
Universiteit Hasselt is a young, innovative and dynamic university with approximately 3.000 students, 600 teaching and research staff and 250 administrative and technical staff.
