The University of Liège (ULg) was founded in 1817 by King Wilhelm the First after Napoleon demanded a university for Belgium - a territory that was then part of the Napoleonic Empire. It was given its current name in 1989 and is a public university for the French-speaking community of Belgium. As a public university open to the world and anchored in the scientific, cultural and economic development of its region, the University of Liège relies on its three pillars: teaching, research and civic engagement.
Liège is Belgium's third largest city, which sits in the Meuse River valley, close to the German and Dutch borders. It is one of the country's major educational hubs and boasts a large population of students as well as a vibrant multicultural community. Its weekly Sunday market, La Batte, is popular with both tourists and locals alike. There is also a large number of sport and leisure clubs available to students through the university.
