Great teaching method

Wide range of knowledge acquired and even though this comes at the price of a heavy workload, I'd say it's worth it. The professors are very approachable and it is generally a health learning environment. For international students, the tuition is an absolute steal, given the quality of education.

My Little Review

If you are looking for a real business experience and course, definitely apply for IBM at KDG. This degree is awesome. Every day, I get to learn new things from different experts and Lectures, and I fall more in love with the business world.

Good base bachelor's degree (IOM)

I like how you can directly talk to teachers without feeling like there's this hierarchy. I dislike how unorganised things can be such as: poor communication, poor planning: last minute timing etc.... Having a decent study track coach really helps with everything, because this is the individual that knows a lot about your study progress and who you are normally the most in contact with. Which in my case helped me a lot with all types of processes. Such as: admin work, advice on academic goals, future goals related to academia etc... The negative point for Artevelde would also be that they do not provide any parking for students. Therefore, students have to pay a hefty amount to park their car on the street(s) near campus. Meanwhile other universities/hogeschool in Ghent do provide plenty of this. I'd call it absolute greed because they are more than able to provide, instead they like to hoard the parking spaces. For the language courses, there should be more options than the ones they offer, because the major I'm in (international organisation and management) is full of international students and not everyone wants to study: French, Dutch, Spanish or German.... there should be more options... The other issue in my opinion would be that Artevelde is a "Applied Sciences school" which means, if you want to obtain a master degree afterwards, you can't just directly study one, when you're in Belgium or most of the neighbouring countries, you'd have to do a bridging year (a prep year).

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.
