Haute école Léonard de Vinci

What Haute école Léonard de Vinci does

Haute école Léonard de Vinci is a public University College (Haute École) operating under the French Community of Belgium's higher education framework, with its registered office at Place de l'Alma 2, 1200 Brussels (company number 0459.279.954). The institution delivers Bachelor's, Master's, and advanced degree programmes across approximately 20 departments grouped into three interconnected sectors — health, human and social sciences, and technology-based industries — distributed across three campuses: Ixelles (Brussels), Woluwe (Brussels), and Louvain-la-Neuve. Headcount is reported in the 501–1,000 range, and the institution serves prospective undergraduate and graduate students, including international exchange students admitted through the Erasmus program.

The core product is degree-granting higher education, supported by a digital learning infrastructure centered on the Zéphyr online library portal and the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) federated search, which provide unified access to more than 15 subscribed academic databases (including MEDLINE Complete, ScienceDirect, CAIRN.INFO, CINAHL Complete, EM Premium, SportDiscus, Visible Body, Thieme MedOne ComSci, and Belgapress). Specialized facilities include the Creative School Lab at Louvain-la-Neuve, which houses a KLAB ideation space, a ZEN relaxation area, and a Technolab maker-space equipped with 3D printers, robotics, Arduino boards, and sewing machines. Cross-institutional resources are made available through co-tenancy with UCLouvain (Woluwe campus), the Translation Faculty of University of Saint-Louis-UCLouvain (Ixelles), and a Sports Pass program providing access to ULB and UCLouvain athletic facilities.

The institution is funded primarily through French Community of Belgium subsidies under the decree of 9 September 1996 on the funding of University Colleges, with supplementary tuition revenue varying by student nationality (EU vs non-EU) and program type. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-student recruitment via the institutional website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter), and Erasmus partner-university nominations coordinated through the International Relations Office ([email protected]). Leadership is provided by Directeur-Président Julien Federinov, who holds responsibility for institutional information management.
