Summer Research Exchange: Free University of Brussels

Located at the heart of Europe, the ULB has always been very involved in student mobility. Its campuses are among the most international in Europe, with over 30% of students coming from abroad (16% Europeans). Also, nearly 20% of the ULB’s scientific and academic staff and 50% of PhD candidates are foreign nationals. Students can apply for research projects in Chemistry, Computer Science, Urban Studies, Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, and more! Check out their promotional video here. Check out their ULB brochure (Click here) and information slides (Click here).

Credit Equivalency: Instead of getting a transcript from the host university, admitted students must enroll in an Independent Research (or similar) course in the equivalent department at U of T.
