The
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Kulak (Catholic University of Leuven Campus Kortrijk), or
KULAK is a University in the city of
Kortrijk (Courtrai) and the only university in the
Belgian province of
West-Flanders.
KULAK stands for “Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Afdeling Kortrijk" (Catholic University of Leuven
Branch Kortrijk). Although the university buildings were upgraded from a mere branch or dependence to a real campus in the late 1990s, the designation of "KULAK" is still used. The main reason for this is that it rolls off the tongue much easier than the new letter construction with its three consonants ending. Located in the city of
Kortrijk in Flanders, the KULAK is officially a Dutch-speaking institution.
