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.
You can contact the International Support Team by mail or phone, or you can make an appointment. Go and find them through their contact page.
Welcoming students at the start of UGent’s spring semester
The International Support Team hosted chat sessions to answer whatever questions you had and organized a digital welcome session to share more arrival information (for instance about registering at Ghent city hall and health insurance).
IST Virtual Chat Session
A Welcome presentation is sent to your e-mail address. If you did not receive this, please let us know at international@ugent.be.
The International Support Team hosted virtual chat sessions in January and February. In case you would still have questions for the IST, please don’t hesitate to book an appointment. We can schedule an online meeting. Make an appointment.
