Exchanges in 2020-2021 Semester two
We regret to inform you that Ghent University has decided to cancel all study exchanges for the second semester of the academic year 2020-2021.
The current critical COVID-19 situation has forced Ghent University to take this decision. There are several reasons why study exchanges (both incoming and outgoing) are impossible in the current circumstances. The health situation, travel restrictions, local and national restrictions in daily life and, most important of all, the uncertainty regarding on campus or online educational activities have made it impossible for us to continue exchange programs. This impossibility has been underpinned by the feedback from our current first-semester exchange students about the difficulties they face in coping with this ever-changing reality.
We regret that we have had to make this decision. But these unforeseen circumstances unfortunately have forced us to take unprecedented and difficult choices. We wish you nevertheless a lot of success in your studies.
