Scholarship possibilities for candidates from Developing Countries
Master programmes
Top-up Grants (Masters)
Ghent University provides Master Grants to candidates from developing countries who wish to obtain a master’s degree at Ghent University.
The Master Grants provided by Ghent University do not exist anymore in the way we knew them the last years.
They have changed into the ‘Ghent University Top-up Grants’.

These are short-term training programmes, lasting one to four months.

They aim at transferring knowledge and skills, and create the possibility for cooperation and networking.
