Ghent University is a top 100 university and one of the major universities in Belgium, founded in 1817. Our 11 faculties offer a wide range of courses and conduct in-depth research within a wide range of scientific domains. We occupy a specific position among the Flemish universities, as a socially committed and pluralistic university that is open to all students, regardless of their ideological, political, cultural or social background. Our credo is ‘Dare to think’, challenging everyone to question conventional views and to dare to take a nuanced stand.
