Can you study at Artevelde UAS?

There are two main requirements to enrol.

 

Language

Most of our undergraduate courses are organised in Dutch, but there are also five undergraduate courses whose language of instruction is English. There are language requirements for both.

 

Diploma 

In principle, you need at least a secondary school diploma to start a programme at a university of applied sciences. If you do not have a diploma or you cannot present it due to circumstances, you may still be able to start after an entrance examination. In addition, keep in mind that many programmes have separate admission requirements.

 

Recognition international degrees

Naric is responsible for recognising foreign diplomas - more info at NARIC Vlaanderen.

How much will your studies cost?

Would you like to know more about study costs, grants, combining study and work, living allowance or taxes? You can find all the info on this page. Feel free to contact the student services department if you have questions. On each campus, a Stuvo staff member is available to assist you. 

Where can you stay?

Artevelde UAS has student houses, but you can also find accommodation on the private market. You may qualify for a housing allowance. On this page, you will find all information, including the contact details of the housing service.

How to prepare yourself?

Studying in Dutch or English is not always easy if you received your prior education in a different language. At the University Centre for Language Teaching (UCT), you can take language courses. 

You can also take Dutch language lessons at Amal Ghent. You can also go there for a preparatory course in higher education, to make a smooth start. In the introductory programme, much attention is paid to Dutch, but also to academic language and study skills, other preparatory modules and guidance is provided to help you make a suitable study choice. 

At Artevelde UAS, you can also get language support.

Can you get coaching?

Do you need a tailor-made programme, special adjustments, socio-legal guidance or help with your study method? We offer tailor-made guidance and dedicated student services.
