University Hasselt-Maastricht

Currently, the Universities of Hasselt and Maastricht work together as the Transnational University Limburg (tUL)for studies in IT and Biomedical Sciences.

It was planned that in the academic year 2007-2008, a joint bachelor programme in law would be organized by the tUL and the K.U.Leuven. However, the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders/Belgium was of the opinion that the proposed programme was not yet sufficiently developed. The starting date for this programme has therefore been postponed.
