106 Your Scholarship in Europe 2008-2009 Luxembourg BASIC <strong>IN</strong>FORMATION ABOUT LUXEMBOURG Luxembourg is situated at the heart of Western Europe, bordering Germany to the east, Belgium to the west and France to the south. The country has two clearly defi ned regions: The «Eisléck» or 'Oesling' in the north, which covers one-third of the territory and is part of the Ardennes on the western rim of the Eifel. It is a wooded country of great scenic beauty; the «Good country» in the center and the south, covering the remainder of the territory, is mainly rolling farmland and woods. It is bordered in the east by the wine-producing valley of the Moselle, and in the extreme south-west by a narrow strip of red earth which forms the Luxembourg iron-ore basin. Luxembourg has a population of 459,900 inhabitants of which over a third are foreign nationals. «Lëtzebuergesch» is the everyday spoken language of the people, and the symbol of the Luxembourgers national identity. Since the creation of a dictionary and grammar rules, this former Mosel-Frankish dialect is now recognized as the national language (since 1984), while both French and German remain offi cial languages. German and French culture meet in Luxembourg and Franco-German bilingualism, without any language differences, is a typical aspect of the country's social structure. Although both German and French are used in the press, in political and in religious life, French is the offi cial language of the administration, legal system, parliament, education, and some literary circles. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a hereditary constitutional monarchy. Its current head of state is Grand Duke Henri, who acceded to the throne on 7 October, 2000. Executive power is in the hands of the Grand Duke and a Cabinet of 12 ministers. The legislative power rests with a Parliament (Chamber of Deputies) elected by men and women over 18, all of whom have the right and duty to vote in Luxembourg. THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM THE UNIVERSITY OF LUXEMBOURG The University of Luxembourg was founded in 2003. It is the fi rst and only university in Luxembourg. By selecting the University of Luxembourg for your path of higher education, you choose a young and dynamic university seeking growth, to which you can contribute and actively take part in its development process. You will be studying in a unique environment: geographically, Luxembourg is situated in the heart of Europe, and you will fi nd many European institutions and companies here. The university has three faculties: The Faculty of Sciences, Technology and Communication (FSTC), the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) and the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education (FLSHASE). Courses are organized on three levels: Bachelor, Master and Doctorates. There are currently 10 bachelor and 12 mas-
ter programmes at the university in line with the European Bologna standard. Access to the University of Luxembourg is regulated by the law that created the university (see http://www.uni.lu). The University of Luxembourg has an international focus. Courses are taught in French, German and English. Strong connections to foreign universities, for example to jointly develop the syllabus or to cooperate in student exchange programmes, is a further characteristic of the institution. In addition, undergraduate students are required to study at least one semester abroad (the so called “mobility principle»). Undergraduate studies FSTC offers Bachelor studies in sciences and engineering, life sciences, as well as in engineering and computer science. FDEF organizes bachelor courses in law, economics and management, management, and IT management. Undergraduate courses in FLSHASE comprise European culture, psychology, educational science, as well as social and educational sciences. Post-graduate studies FSTC and FDEF commonly organize the Masters course in Information and Computer Sciences. FDEF further offers a Masters in European law, fi nancial economics, banking and fi nance, and security management of information systems. FLSHASE Masters degrees are: contemporary European history, psychology, mediation, gerontology, crossborder communication and co-operation, as well as philosophy. A Masters in European sustainable spatial development and analysis is currently being developed. 107
