Enrolment requirements

- Check the enrolment requirements for your programme.
- Put together your individual study path via this handy online tool!
Specialisation, minor or elective courses
In the bachelor's programmes TEW, Business Economics, Social Sciences and Pol & Soc, you have to indicate your specialisation/minor. You can indicate your choice by submitting this online form after your re-enrolment. Once the faculty has processed your choice, you can register for courses via Student SelfService.
Do you have to choose a specialisation and/or minor? Would you like to take an elective course at ULB or do you have to select your specialisation or minor?
Programme changes
Programme changes may take place annually. Some of them are rather limited (e.g. a change of title of a course) and have no further impact on your study path. Others are more drastic (e.g. changes in the number of credits, merging of two courses, creation of a new course...) and can have an impact on the further course of your study programme or year programme.
If a programme change has an impact on your track, you will be informed of it by e-mail at the start of the new academic year.
