The Collegium Hungaricum Leuven opens its applications for Autumn Semester of the 2025/2026 academic year.
We are inviting individuals from various countries and fields to join our international community home founded by the Hungarian Jesuits where every member can experience security and growth in the company of one another.
We are building our community on the following 6 core values:
- Respect
- Openness
- Responsibility
- Self-organisation
- Honesty
- Care
Based on our core values, we have a team system in which everyone participates. Currently, we have a Community & Intellectual, a Recruitment, and a Spiritual Team. This system is designed to encourage our tenants to actively contribute to the internal life of the house.
- Community & Intellectual Team: The Community & Intellectual Team is responsible for developing and maintaining the community life of Collegium Hungaricum. Its goal is to create a cohesive, supportive, and experience-rich intellectual and social atmosphere that contributes to the personal and communal development of the college members.
- Recruitment Team: The Recruitment Team is one of the working groups of the Collegium Hungaricum community, which ensures the long-term operation of the house by involving suitable members and managing the recruitment process.
- Spiritual Team: The Spiritual Team of Collegium Hungaricum is responsible for the spiritual dimensions of community life. Our goal is to organise programmes weekly, monthly and yearly, which can strengthen community spirit and spiritual growth. The programmes reflect the Jesuit heritage and values of Collegium Hungaricum.
We have the following rooms:

By signing contracts with us "The tenant agrees that he/she uses the room as study place abroad (outside the country of his/her main residence) and he/she can use it only as secondary residence and not as his principal residence during the term of this lease." (Lease Agreement art. 1.) However, "Non-Belgian residents are obliged to register at the City Hall after their arrival and present the issued proof of official administrative registration to the director." (House Rules 4.2.)
Our application process consists of two rounds.
In the first round, we invite you to fill in this form.
Those selected will be invited for an interview with the admission board constituted by a student representative from the current community and the director of Collegium Hungaricum.
There will be 3 interview dates. One around the beginning of April, one around the end of April, and one in May.
