English offer

All regular courses offered at University College Ghent are lectured in Dutch. Consequently, students must possess thorough knowledge of Dutch before commencing their studies. Language courses part of a study programme, however, are generally taught in the target language.

Nonetheless, University College Ghent also boasts a number of study programmes in which the language of instruction is English. There are two types:

Semester programmes

The language of instruction in the following international programmes is English. A high level of competency in English is expected to participate successfully in the programmes. The programmes are particularly organised for foreign exchange students, but in some of the programmes regular students may enrol as well. All course units have been allocated a minimum of 3 ECTS credits. Please note that these programmes do NOT lead to a diploma. Students can undertake these programmes to obtain ECTS credits.

Entire study programmes

These programmes are entire study programmes of either 60 ECTS credits (1 year) or 120 ECTS credits (2 years). They are organised particularly for regular foreign students. Foreign exchange students can, however, also undertake individual course units in these programmes. The following programmes either lead to a certificate, as is the case with the international postgraduate programme Dutch & Translation, or to a Master degree, as is the case with the Master of Music.
