Welcome at Ghent University for international students
The International Support Team gives international students a warm welcome and helps them before, during and after their arrival at Ghent University.
International students can visit and contact us by mail or phone.
Welcoming students at the start of Ghent University’s semester
We organize welcome sessions for new international degree and exchange students at the start of every semester.
And of course, this academic year as well. We invite new international students to our welcome days at het Pand. We organise an information session and afterwards the students can talk to some of our partners.
New students will be welcomed on 20 and 21 September 2023. More information and details of the programme are in our digital International Student Guide.
