Student Centre

One Central Location for every student

We welcome every (prospective) Ghent University student, whether you're still undecided about what to study, have just begun, are nearing graduation, or are pursuing a PhD.

The Student Centre will be closed from 20 July through 31 July. We will be happy to welcome you back from 3 August. Are you struggling with your studies or going through a difficult time? In the meantime, you can find self-help resources and contact for helplines and support services on Wellbeing at Ghent University.
