From 2018, the faculty is also establishing on the UCLouvain Charleroi campus, starting with a bachelor's degree in computer science in September 2020.

Only a minor amount of courses of the master's degree in cybersecurity are held at Louvain-la-Neuve, it being a joint degree between UCLouvain, the Royal Military Academy, the University of Namur, the Université libre de Bruxelles, the Bruxelles-Brabant College (HE2B) and the Haute École libre de Bruxelles - Ilya Prigogine, with courses in Louvain-la-Neuve, Namur and Brussels.

[9] In 1867, the Schools were renamed into the Special Schools of Arts and Manufacturing, Civil Engineering and Mines (Écoles spéciales des Arts et Manufactures, du Génie Civil et des Mines) to which was later added d'Architecture et d'Électricité,[1] which led to the long lasting name of Écoles spéciales.

[9] A 1929 law greatly broadened the offer of "legal" diplomas and 9 new engineering courses were created in Louvain and Courtrai (textile industry).

The Faculty was linguistically separated in 1964 into the Dutch-speaking Faculteit ingenieurswetenschappen and the francophone Faculté des sciences appliquées.

[9] At the beginning of the 1960s, the practical split of the Catholic University of Leuven became inevitable and serious consideration was already being given to transferring the French-speaking part outside Louvain.

Following the Leuven crisis, the transfer was formally decided at the end of 1968: the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical science was to be located in Woluwe, Brussels (UCLouvain Brussels Woluwe) and the other faculties in Louvain-la-Neuve (between the French-speaking municipalities of Ottignies and Wavre); while the (Flemish) KUL would remain in Leuven.

In 1971, the French-speaking programmes of the Faculty of Applied Sciences were offered on the Heverlee campus, on the outskirts of the city of Louvain (Leuven).

From 1973, the programs for the last three years of civil engineering were given at the new Louvain-la-Neuve site, while the candidature degrees (undergraduate) were still being taught at Heverlee.

The real start took place at Arenberg Castle (Heverlee), whose park had been home to the Faculty of Applied Sciences for decades.

[9] In 1990, the Faculty of Applied Sciences co-founded CESAER, the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research, in Louvain, with six members originally considered the main institutes for the development of engineering sciences in Europe: the two universities of Louvain, the École des Mines in Paris, Imperial College London, RWTH Aachen University and TU Delft.
