Student Life
Campus life
Luxembourg is redefining itself: from a steel region to a financial centre, the country now wants to morph onwards and become a research hub. In Belval there are plans to turn this vision into reality.
Belval is considered to be one of the largest and most ambitious current urban renewal projects in Europe. On the 120 hectares of grounds that once housed Luxembourg's largest steel foundry, academic research and teaching, work and leisure, industry and commerce and home life and culture are to enter into a thriving mixture. Based on a master plan created by Jo Coenen Architects of Maastricht, the development corporation Agora as well as the public Fonds Belval are bringing this new site into being.

Student clubs
To be part of a student association and student life in general is paramount to experiencing a positive University experience. Student Associations provide students with valuable skills such as the ability to work in a team environment, to engage with the University beyond academics, and to belong to a family away from home. This type of engagement is essential to taking full advantage of the "University Experience".
This positive experience can provide students with the following opportunities: helping to network with other young professionals, development into well-rounded individuals, and showcase a student's abilities gained from their academic studies.

Master in Civil engineering
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The university is wonderful, it has an incredible infrastructure, but I believe it can improve it by allowing students more practical classes, experience in laboratories and use of more software that can really be used in the job market.

A multicultural experience
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I loved the multicultural environment, with people from all over the world, and the many possibilities given to students by the University of Luxembourg. I guess that some of the courses could be improved, but overall I would really recommend the Master course in Civil Engineering there.
