Academic calendar

The academic year is divided into 2 semesters. This means that a part of the courses of a study programme is completed by the end of December, followed by examinations. The 1st examination perid is spread over two months: January and June. 

We advise to have a good knowledge of Dutch language. 

As not all incoming students have a sufficient knowledge of Dutch, Ghent University requires a good knowledge of English (CEF B2-level or higher) in order to communicate and function in an academic context. Therefore all incoming exchange students are required to submit a language certificate which shows that they have acquired a B2-level in English.
