About Ghent University and the City of Ghent
Ghent University’s credo is ‘Dare to Think’, challenging everyone to question conventional views and to dare to take a nuanced view. It is a pluralistic university open to all, regardless of their ideological, political, cultural or social background.

A pocket-sized city with the buzz, bustle and bravado of a metropolis? Welcome to Ghent, Belgium’s third largest city and Flanders’ biggest university city. Where you walk in the footsteps of a 1000-year-old heritage. Get enchanted by medieval towers, ancient buildings and romantic canals. And fall for the local culture in funky hang-outs, a wide range of museums, theatres and historical venues.
Behind all that history is a place that is strongly focused on the future. In Ghent, we deal with things in our own unique way. We eat, talk, party, care, play and develop as only we can: together. Ghentians are generous and openminded. Soft-hearted rebels, groundbreakers and inventors.

 

About KU Leuven and the City of Leuven

KU Leuven’s credo is sedes sapientiae (seat of wisdom in English). For several years, Thomson Reuters ranked KU Leuven as Europe’s most innovative university.

In the heart of Belgium and all its own: that’s Leuven. The century-old university town with its historic buildings radiates the 21st century, Leuven has a young dynamic and is bursting with initiatives. This can-do city is a breeding ground for innovation: spin-offs from the internationally leading university, unexpected collaborations and projects where science, art, culture and society come together.
 

In the pedestrian streets and on the spacious squares, the students determine the rhythm and atmosphere, the shops, cafés and restaurants provide conviviality and gastronomy, the beer fizzes and the ideas bubble up. Leuven is a city on a human scale, surrounded by green hills that let the city breathe. With its rich and varied cultural offering, Leuven is worth a visit all year round.
