I recently enrolled at University of the People. I have completed the intermediate English exam and I am waiting for the results to start my classes. The enrollment process was smooth and easy. I am excited to begin my studies and look forward to gaining new knowledge and skills.
A good Uni for International Students. It is very immersed into Belgium culture. Had a very good hands on approach to studying and includes areas such as life long learning aimed at a continuous growth in your personal life.
I must say, I have no complaints about the quality of education. The lecturers are knowledgeable professionals who have a deep understanding of their courses and the field. However, I do believe that the campus could use some improvements. There are several areas that could benefit from additional resources and attention, such as the location, transportation options, and food choices.
The Office of Student Support (Stuvo for short) helps you with almost everything. Only studying and taking exams is something you still have to do yourself. You can always come to us if you need financial support to pay for your studies, psychological or medical assistance, or have questions about renting a room in Ghent.
Stuvo is your confidential point of contact. No question or concern is too big or too small. Is it not yet clear what you need? Then, we can explore this together. Our 'ombudsperson' is there for all your questions concerning education and exam regulations, the fair proceedings of exams or what to do when you miss an exam.Artevelde University offers student housing in Ghent, including four university-owned houses and collaboration with Upgrade Estate for additional options.
