K.H. <strong>Kempen</strong> University College is a University College<br />
with eleven departments and more than 6,200 students.<br />
K.H. <strong>Kempen</strong> University College has always been an impulse<br />
for regional development in the <strong>Kempen</strong>, a dynamic region<br />
in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium.<br />
The university college in its present form was founded<br />
in 1995, when six institutes of higher education in the<br />
<strong>Kempen</strong> region merged. Each of those predecessors,<br />
however, boast a reputation going back more than half<br />
a century.<br />
In 2002 K.H. <strong>Kempen</strong> University College formed an<br />
association with the Catholic University of Leuven, 11<br />
other University Colleges (Hogescholen) and the Catholic<br />
University of Brussels. Together, its partners have more<br />
than 70,000 students in 23 cities across Flanders.<br />
K.H. <strong>Kempen</strong> University College participates in ERASMUS,<br />
as well as in Leonardo and Tempus projects involving both<br />
student and teacher mobility, pilot projects and curriculum<br />
development. There is also an active participation in<br />
development projects (via the K.U. Leuven association)<br />
and in ERASMUS BELGICA, the exchange programme<br />
for the different language communities in Belgium.<br />
K.H. <strong>Kempen</strong> University College co-finances all these<br />
projects.<br />

and Belgium<br />
