Are you an exchange student at the École Polytechnique de Bruxelles? Then you are at the right place!
This is the website of the BEP (Bureau Étudiant de Polytechnique), one of the student-run association of the faculty. Our goal is to help the students of the faculty during their studies, organise activities to create a bond between the students, create goodies with the school logo, and so on.
We also have a team that will help you with your integration in the school! They will organise several activities for you: welcoming drinks, parties, city visits, etc… Most contacts will be taken through mails and WhatsApp.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact them at [email protected]
We also have a room in the U building of the Solbosh campus (UB1.149) where we sell food, drinks, have sofas, printers for a low price, a kettle, a coffee machine and a microwave. Feel free to come by to meet us all!
The BEP also prepared for you « cheat sheets » intended to show you all the computer tools and services you have access to for free, thanks to ULB or to your student status. It also explains how they work. All the cheat sheets that are particularly relevant for exchange students and VUB students in BRUFACE will be translated in English and posted on this page.

If you need information specific to your exchange program, you can check the school official website. (We’re only a student-run organisation)
In addition to the BEP, there are two other student-run organisations in the school, with different purposes:
- CP (Cercle Polytechnique): They organize a lot of parties and events (also sports and cultural) that are really really typical of our university all year long! They have a bar and a game room near our own (they’re between UB1 and UC1), where you can buy Belgian beers at a very affordable price! It’s open almost all day, every weekday (outside of exams season).
- WomInTech: They promote gender diversity at the École Polytechnique de Bruxelles and STEM. They organise some events such as speed-networking events, one-day internships at partner companies, and all kind of conferences.
See you soon in the loveliest city in the world, probably around one of our famous beers!
