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.

Legal Technology and Responsible AI programme

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent Legal Technology and Responsible AI Programme. The programme provided a valuable opportunity to deepen my understanding of the legal, regulatory, and technological issues surrounding artificial intelligence and data governance. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Jan Blockx for his outstanding academic leadership and engaging lectures. The course content was well-structured, insightful, and highly relevant to current developments in technology law. His ability to connect legal theory with practical challenges helped participants better understand the opportunities and risks associated with AI and emerging technologies. I would also like to express my gratitude to Prof. Toon Calders for his excellent contribution to the programme. His clear and accessible explanations of AI concepts provided an important technical perspective that complemented the legal discussions. The interdisciplinary approach greatly enhanced the overall learning experience and strengthened participants' understanding of responsible AI. In addition, I would like to thank Nele Voorspoels for her exceptional administrative support. Her prompt communication, attention to detail, and assistance with travel ensured a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the course. Overall, the programme exceeded my expectations. The combination of high-quality teaching, excellent organization, and meaningful discussions created an inspiring learning environment.

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).

Studies investment

Following the Advanced bachelor of bioinformatics in Howest Hogeschool, I have to say that is a really well structured program that targets to bridge the gap between theory and working environment and give you the necessary supplies to build up your future ! Professors are are really approachable and willing to help you.
