Each faculty has a Faculty Committee for Internationalisation (FCI). The FCI chairperson and/or the faculty administrator will be able to help you with most of your questions about academic matter (courses, schedules, exams, transcripts, internschip, placement, professors, faculty regulations, deadlines, etc.).

On this page, you can also find the application deadlines per faculty (some faculties have no deadlines. However, in this case we expect the five necessary forms 2-3 months before the arrival of the student in Gent).
