CONTENTS OF THE COURSE CATALOGUE This catalogue includes all English-taught courses in HUB s professional bachelors programmes (School of Commercial Sciences and Management, School of Education, School of Health Care, and School of Social and Community Work) that are open to exchange students at HUB s Professional Bachelors Education. If you are interested in attending a course offered at HUB s Academic Education Division, you should be aware that specific restrictions apply. For more information get in touch with the departmental exchange co-ordinator Bart Hempen (bart.hempen@hubrussel.be). Students are expected to be fluent in the language of instruction (in most cases English) and may be denied access to courses if their language skills prove sub-standard. Please, make sure your language proficiency is accurately described in your application file (see below). 5

6 3. HOW TO COMPOSE YOUR STUDY PROGRAMME As an exchange student at HUB s professional bachelor programmes, you may select any combination of courses included in this course catalogue, amounting to a maximum of 24 credits if you are staying for a trimester (3-4 months) or 36 credits if you are staying for a semester (5-6 months) with the following restrictions: If you are a bachelor student, you should preferably select courses from a HUB professional bachelor programmes. However, you are allowed to choose up to 12 credits per semester from an academic bachelors programme. When preparing your study-abroad programme, please bear in mind that the final course scheduling will only be done at the beginning of the academic year, when the full course descriptions (called ECTS sheets) will be available on the intranet for students. As a consequence, you may find that courses you initially selected overlap (hubrussel.net). To be on the safe side, make sure your home institute agrees on some extra just-in-case courses and keep them in mind for future reference. Please, notice also that courses are programmed on various campuses in and around Brussels. As soon as all classes have been scheduled and you are able to confirm your course selection (final changes before October 2011), you will need to take into account traveling time between campuses. If you are fluent in Dutch, you may want to include Dutch-taught courses in your learning agreement. In that case, please contact the departmental exchange co-ordinator Bart Hempen (bart.hempen@hubrussel.be). 6
