An international stepping stones path gives an overview of all the international learning opportunities that are present within a specific programme. These international learning opportunities start off rather small and get bigger and more intense throughout the programme. The following international learning opportunities can be present and will be further elaborated below:

Short term mobility
Internships abroad
Incoming or outgoing Erasmus exchange
Joint and double degree programmes
Study abroad after your studies at UGent
More information on the stepping stone path in each of our programmes:
Internationalization@home (or I@H) refers to international and/or intercultural learning experiences within the courses that students follow at the home university. Some examples of these learning experiences are:
Including the international or intercultural context of a specific discipline;
Having international guest speakers;
Group assignments in internationally or interculturally composed teams;
Language courses which also cover cultural aspects of the language/countries where they speak the language;
Blended intensive programmes are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning, teaching and training for students and staff including the use of online cooperation. Students have the possibility to include a BIP as an elective course in their programme at UGent.
Some programmes at our faculty include a mandatory internship: Bachelor in Public Administration and Master in Business Administration. Other programmes offer students the possibility to follow an optional internship and include it in their programme as an elective. Students can choose between an internship in Belgium or abroad.
