Overview

English Name: LUNEX University
Founded: 2016
Institution Type: University
Control Type: Private

LUNEX is a privately run higher-education provider based in Differdange, in the south-west of Luxembourg, operated by the company LUNEX S.A.

It presents itself as a University of Applied Sciences with the legal status of a specialised higher-education establishment (Établissement d'Enseignement Supérieur Spécialisé), and its degree courses hold accreditation from the national ministry in charge of higher education and research. Its teaching sits where sport, health and management overlap: students can follow tracks in physiotherapy, osteopathy, sport and exercise science, sport management, and nutrition, and the institution also mentions corporate health management among its fields.

All courses are delivered in English. Study options run from a one-semester Pre-Bachelor foundation course for applicants who need to strengthen their English or science, through three-year bachelor degrees and two-year master degrees, to short online certificates run with external partners.

The institution describes its approach as applied and hands-on, with small groups, block teaching, internships and exchange opportunities.

Quality assurance is overseen by internal academic councils for teaching and research, and the institution reports external evaluation by the Dutch-Flemish accreditation agency NVAO. Applications are accepted all year round, and bachelor applicants sit online English and/or science tests at an Application Day.
