Internationalisation
Internationalisation helps Flemish universities and colleges to realise high quality education and research. The latter give students, researchers and lecturers the opportunity to acquire experience on virtually all corners of the globe. At Ghent University, around 40% of all doctoral students and 12% of the entire student body comes from abroad.
International School of Ghent
The International School of Ghent opened its doors for the very first time in 2012. Children from a variety of nationalities between the ages of 3 and 12 follow classes here in English. Their parents are typically foreign managers and scientists who work for companies and research institutions in East Flanders.
