KU Leuven

Bachelor programmes (with very few English exceptions) require Dutch B2, not English — IELTS 6.5/6.0-per-band applies to the rare English-taught bachelors and to master's programmes generally (competitive programs like Medicine/Engineering/CS need 7.0/6.5-per-band).

Official kuleuven.be: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 90 (no subscore below 20) is the baseline for most engineering/science/humanities master's programmes; exemption for applicants with 1+ year of prior English-medium higher education after meeting this once. No fixed university-wide GPA cutoff found — evaluated per programme.

Official kuleuven.be: requires a Master's degree obtained "with distinction" (or equivalent scientific achievements) — not a specific numeric GPA. English proficiency test required at application UNLESS prior education was in English or the supervisor confirms sufficient evidence exists — no fixed passing score stated. Supervisor agreement required before applying.
