Limburgs Universitair Centrum
In 2005 LUC wil change its name in "University Hasselt"
Limburgs Universitair Centrum is a university with campuses in Hasselt and Diepenbeek, Belgium. It was founded in 1971. In the future it is possible that the universities of Hasselt and Maastricht will become one university; University Hasselt-Maastricht.
The University Hasselt is located in Diepenbeek (a small town near Hasselt) but is expanding towards Hasselt, the capital of Limburg.
The university consists of 3 faculties:
- The faculty of Sciences (where you can study maths, physics, IT, biology and chemistry);
- The faculty of Applied Economics (where you can study economics and commercial engineer)
- The faculty of Medicine (where you can study medicine and biomedical sciences).
