Wonderful University

Ghent University is an ideal location for students. It has excellent facilities and a picturesque campus, and it's set in a charming town. The faculty are dedicated to supporting students and making sure they understand the material. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my choice to study here. I feel lucky to be part of such a wonderful university.

Erasmus stay

KASK was my host university for my Erasmus studies. It was the first time my university sent someone for Erasmus and they helped with all posible, they provided me with a spot in the residence, and with an internship in one of the professor's architecture studio. Clases are mostly in dutch, so it's not the most suitable place for an Erasmus student, still the teacher always offered to stay after class to go throw the main points in order to make sure I would understand. They also organise trips for the students, they would even put me in contact with a local student in case I would have any doubts, so she would help me out. The building was absolutely beautiful and quite close to the center. Public transport is a close option, but the best to move around and go to the university is the bike. Will definitely go say hi next time I go back to Ghent.

Ledeganck teachers education

We didn't have a biology teacher for a full year. 4 different substitute teachers that weren't informed well by HoGent. The arts class is very educational, but the teacher is not objectieve at all. Was talking to the internship supporter, she doesn't let jou talk. Can't get a word in between. Very annoying. I don't feel like she cared to listen. She doesn't give a fuck. It's not okey! Don't expect support. There are some really sweet teachers. But overall no great support or organization.

internationally focused business programme

I study International Business Management at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences and overall I've had a positive experience. The programme has a strong practical focus—there's a real emphasis on case work, group projects, and applying theory to actual business situations rather than just memorising it. The international dimension is a highlight, with courses taught in English, a diverse student group, and opportunities for exchange and internships abroad. The professors are generally approachable and bring real-world business experience into the classroom, which makes the material more relevant. Campus facilities are modern and the support services are helpful. If I had to mention a downside, I'd recommend this programme to anyone looking for a hands-on, career-oriented business degree with a genuinely international outlook
