For who? / Useful links

There are two versions of the Interuniversity Test of Academic English (ITACE): one for lecturers and one for students.

Below you will find the information for students.

If you are a non-native speaker of English and wish to enrol in a programme taught in English at Ghent University, you have to prove that you know English well enough, both orally and in writing. This can be done in several ways, for example by passing the ITACE.  You can find more information on the language requirements for admission at Ghent university on the university’s website.

Also if there are other reasons for requiring a certificate of your English language skills (e.g. studies abroad, internship, emigration), you can contact the UCT and take the ITACE.

This video will run you through practical guidelines for the test. We recommend watching this video thoroughly, prior to taking the test.
