Sources
- Programme catalogue https://onderwijsaanbod.kuleuven.be/opleidingen/e/index.htm
The KU Leuven programme catalogue lists bachelor programmes, credits and model trajectories. A substantial share of academic bachelor's programmes contains stage-bound programme options such as major, minor, specialisation, track, or language module.
- Bachelor of Business Economics study programme https://onderwijsaanbod.kuleuven.be/opleidingen/n/SC_51545071
The programme page exposes firstChoice and secondChoice selectors for tracks and majors and describes compulsory and elective course units within the ISP. This supports post-enrollment main-specialisation choice, but not a university-wide free elective catalogue.
- ECTS course descriptions https://onderwijsaanbod.kuleuven.be/syllabi/e/index.htm
Course descriptions show compulsory and elective course units inside each programme.
- Education and examinations regulations https://www.kuleuven.be/education/regulations/
University-regulation elements: programme, course-unit, ISP and examination rules that frame the constrained elective model.
- KU Leuven Student numbers https://www.kuleuven.be/prodstudinfo/v2/50000050/aant_dash_en_v2.html
The official Student numbers dashboard for the 2024-2025 academic year reports 66,311 total students, including 29,054 bachelor's students, 20,046 master's students and 7,555 PhD students.
The catalog field stores the bachelor's students figure. The specialist degree level does not apply to KU Leuven's model, so specialist enrollment is stored as 0.
