There are a few other articles it seems - this one has:

While the victim has found some solace in the court’s recognition of her assault, she is disappointed that her attacker faces no real consequences.

Which says she was not happy with the outcome, only that the rape was recognized.

Per this article:

Leuven University Hospital has suspended a medical student that was convicted of raping another student but was not sentenced for his crime.

The school has at least ensured there were some measure of consequences. Also:

Chief physician Gert Van Assche said that "First and foremost our thoughts go out to the victim. Together with KU Leuven we will look at the court’s ruling and examine how we will go on from there. In the meantime, as a precautionary measure the doctor concerned has been suspended from duties at the hospital”.

The only other article was paywalled and seemed to have no additional information anyway.

Edit: I think its worth noting, though it can be seen in the link, he was studying gynecology.
