The Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts officially opened in 1995. Following a decree to improve and unify higher education in Flanders, thirteen catholic high schools in Antwerp merged to form KdG.

I chose this university because of the Multimedia and Creative Technologies program�something I found to be quite unique. I didn�t come across a similar program anywhere else, and when I looked through the courses, it felt like exactly what I was looking for. It merges technology with marketing and business in a way that�s truly interesting and practical. So far, my experience has been really positive. The professors are not just knowledgeable but also actively working in the fields they teach, which makes learning feel more relevant and connected to the real world. There�s also a lot of support�any questions I have can easily be answered via email, student services, or the student information point on campus. Beyond academics, I love how much the university offers in terms of activities and workshops outside the regular curriculum. It�s great to be part of a university that encourages learning and creativity beyond just lectures. Plus, since my program is taught in English, I get to meet people from all over the world, making the whole experience even more exciting. Honestly, I can�t pick just one favorite thing�I genuinely like everything! But if I had to choose, I�d say the community and the events stand out the most. The university creates an environment where students can connect, collaborate, and grow in ways that go beyond just studying. If I had to mention one area for improvement, it would be the cafeteria options. On my campus, the food choices feel a bit limited, especially for vegetarians. But honestly, that�s a small thing compared to everything else the university offers. Would I recommend this university? Absolutely, 100%! If the kinds of programs offered by this university match your interests, I truly believe this is an amazing place to study, learn, and grow.
As a second year student in Applied Computer Science, I can share that this is so far my best decision in life, to come here , to develop and make connections. International course allowed me to meet people from all over the world and teachers inspire us to do everyday new step into the technology world
Quite interesting courses, not very hard. Not too many student activities. Pothoek campus is meh, Groenplaats is old but in city center and campus Zuid very cool. Not the most convenient exam schedule.
