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.

More information and details of the programme are in our digital International Student Guide.
