10 International experiences A unique multicultural immersion during classes with the international student population. International focus in courses from the first year onwards. One-week study trip short or long distance in the second year. Entire year abroad (study experience and internship) in the third year. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone who wants to broaden his horizon and aims at an international career. Of course I was a bit agitated the first day I arrived at campus Kantienberg in Ghent, Belgium. Luckily I wasn t the only one. A group of people from all over the world gathered for the introduction days. Thanks to the contagious enthusiasm of the lecturers, we all felt at home almost immediately. There also are quite a lot of Belgian students in our group, which came in really handy for questions about local habits. Very quickly we were immersed in a real-life international business environment: practice-oriented and in close relation with employers in the field of activity. Ghent truly is an amazing city. Being situated only 30 minutes away from Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, the coast, France and the Netherlands, it s the ideal starting point for discovering both Belgium and Europe. The city itself offers a fabulous blend of medieval heritage and trendy discoveries, not to mention the extended range of pubs which serve the best beers in the world. 10 Federico Student International Business Management

Culture, going out or sports: there are opportunities, whether you are in student accommodation or commuting daily. Ghent is easy to reach by train, tram or bus. On top of that, it s a great city for cycling. The nice thing about Ghent is that it is much more than a university town. Artevelde s city is buzzing throughout the year.
