Vlaamse Autonome Hogeschool Gent

Vlaamse Autonome Hogeschool Gent, Kortrijksesteenweg 567, 9000 Gent, Belgium
4.26 / 5 based on 12 reviews.
Description:
In September 1995 thirteen colleges of higher education merged to form the HOGESCHOOL GENT. With over 10,000 students and some 900 teaching staff, the HOGESCHOOL GENT offers a wide range of subjects - in fact almost anything from the Fine Arts to Engineering Sciences. Some forty basic courses lead to approximately ninety diplomas, thus covering 90% of all fields of study in Flemish higher education. We are, in fact, the largest 'Hogeschool' in the country. The Hogeschool Gent consists of 11 departments, a Centre of Technological Research, a comprehensive Social Service Unit and unique sports accommodation. Housing accommodation, specialized libraries, individual study schemes for top sportsmen, student counsellors and study-related services at departmental level stress our student-centred policy. Naturally, our rooms and auditoria are fully-equipped to meet present-day teaching methodology standards.
Finally, we are situated in the country's leading university and college town: the City of Gent.
