Pictured some scenes from the national archives branch in Leuven: 15thc copy of the bull, handwritten registration of all students showing the entry for Erasmus, and our cheerful colleagues looking at one of the 11th c charters & one of the earliest detailed cadasteal surveys (Abbey of Averbode).

Also: KULeuven arts and humanities ranks 18th in the THE 2025 rankings, ie, 2nd in continental Europe, only Munich ahead of us. KULeuven law ranks first in continental Europe.

We do this as one of the most inclusive public universities, admitting all with a high school diploma in their chosen fields of study. We do hope we can get staff to student ratios more in line with all of our peer institutions.
