What's a Cross Course?

Cross Courses are opportunities. It's as simple as that. A chance to do something different, a chance to meet students outside your program, a chance to build a network, a chance to meet potential employers ...  Grab them with both hands!

You will get together with students from all programs at UCLL and form a team to work on a project. You will unravel the challenge, look for solutions and come up with ideas. Each student brings their own expertise in the process, allowing everyone to learn from each other. There is also a wide range of international Cross Courses. You meet international students and on top of that you get the chance to travel . An ideal way to get an international experience without being away from home for months!

But whether you stay close to home or seek distant horizons, one thing is certain: you will learn a lot! About the topic you choose, but also about different cultures, different backgrounds and, even more important, about yourself. And very important, you will have a lot of fun. But that's up to you!
