Recommendations
- As a student at Ghent University, you need a laptop. For most programmes, a basic model that works well is sufficient. Some programmes require a more advanced model.
- Please always log out at the end of your session on a public computer (in a library, PC classroom, etc.). However, you never need to shut down a public computer.
