Choosing to study art or design is the start of a great journey. The School of Arts is a

privileged place where you are allowed to be ‘hors jeu’ for a while, or – in the terminology of

the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu - ‘off-sides’ or ‘out of the game’: free from the

pressures of the market and authority and unhindered by day-to-day concerns, free to focus on

developing yourself as an artist, musician, designer, film or theatre maker, instrument builder,

landscape architect, music producer, etc...

Education in arts or design is an adventure dealing with practical and theoretical work,

artistic quests, the search for technical perfection and meaning, and friendship... School of Arts

Ghent is the ideal place for all of this. Built on the foundation of over two centuries of tradition

and educational experience, it is currently the home to more than two thousand students and

five hundred highly specialized teachers and researchers. The School of Arts is a thriving centre

for quality, creativity and artistic innovation.

Located in the vibrant centre of Ghent, our campuses are an oasis of tranquillity, places

of concentration and dialogue, creation and encounters. Academic places, in other words, are

‘hors jeu’. They are the spaces where you can retreat and shape yourself. This does not imply,

however, that they are blind and unaware of the economic, social, ecological and military

instability dominating the big world outside the campus grounds. Nor are they oblivious to the

various forms of dependence that we, in our own small world, will be confronted with. It would

not suit us to be beggar-like, merely content with the crumbs of happiness swiped off the tables

of these apparently autonomous tendencies. The happy do not just receive the world, but shape

it. They create.

Wim De Temmerman

1. Introduction

Since September 2011, University College Ghent’s Royal Conservatory and Royal

Academy of Fine Arts joined forces in one single institute: the Ghent School of Arts.

Ghent School of Arts wants to bring together talented and motivated students and

excellent educators, active artists, designers and theorists in art and design. The school

aspires to be a refuge where young artists and designers can train and perfect themselves

in the artistic discipline of their choice in a serious, structured and thorough manner.

Familiarity with tradition is crucial in this process, but it is coupled to an alert attention

for contemporary developments in the arts and in society as a whole.

The administrative offices in the Bijloke assist students with enrolment, obtaining a

student card, picking up course books, information, etc…

Practical courses, artistic instruction and theoretical classes take place in studios, practice

rooms and auditoria on different locations throughout the city, but are concentrated

mainly around the Bijloke and Hoogpoort campuses.

DIVERSITY

At Ghent School of Arts you can immerse yourself in about every artistic discipline. The

list is long: painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, media art, performance, graphics,

photography, film, animation, drama, classical music, jazz, pop, music theory,

composition, music production, graphic design, illustration, web design, fashion, textile

design, instrument building, multimedia design, interior design, landscape architecture,

landscape development, arts teacher training programmes...

This multitude of artistic disciplines is grouped in four main programmes (visual arts,

audiovisual arts, music & drama) in which you can obtain a bachelor’s, a master’s and/or

a doctoral degree. In interior design and in landscape and garden architecture you go in

for a professional bachelor’s degree. Besides the study programmes mentioned above, the

School of Arts also offers several postgraduate programmes for students who already

achieved a bachelor or master degree in arts: curatorial studies, digital storytelling,

postgraduate in arts in sound, soloist classical music, musical performance practice,…

EXPERIMENT

At Ghent School of Arts we want to actively stimulate research in the arts and the

inquisitorial component of the artistic process. This research entails the technical aspects,

the artistic and design issues, the emotional side of the process and the theory. It is the

quest for your personal voice in design, sound or image and for the right methods and

command of that voice. This research is also a way to experiment with how art is made.

It explores possibilities and shows the processes of decision. The School aspires to create

a stimulating atmosphere of trust that fosters experiment and innovation. It is a place

where boundaries can be pushed. A place where the unusual is not marginalized, but

acknowledged as potential sources of inspiration and innovation.


PERSONAL

Our varied range of programmes, majors and studios — the most comprehensive and

diverse offer within one educational institute in Flanders — guarantee mutually inspiring

and relatively open training programmes. In analogy to the world of art where crossing

disciplines becomes ever more important, each student can focus on personal accents in

his/her training programme and there is room for cross-fertilization. In practice, this

means that students get the opportunity to participate in initiations, workshops, practical

classes, theoretical courses and master classes outside their own major subjects, thereby

effectively broadening and deepening the personal artistic process. This includes the

opportunity to follow courses in other programmes within the Ghent University

Association (e.g. in the Art Studies programme at Ghent University).

The artist’s personal emphasis is even more prominent in the master and doctoral

programmes. The master’s programme and the PhD in the visual arts, music and

audiovisual arts are laboratories of work and ideas where instructors and promotors

stimulate - rather than direct - their students. Your own project and process are at the

centre. In addition, the master programmes introduced you to some of the numerous

theoretical and artistic research projects our lecturers are engaged in. The dissertation

further stimulates you to thoroughly examine and formulate themes important to your

work as an artist or a designer.

INTERACTIONS

There has always been a close association between the Royal Academy and Royal

Conservatory on the one hand, and the broad cultural field on the other hand. School of

Arts is not only firmly embedded in the cultural dynamics of the city of Ghent, but it is

in itself also a player in the cultural field as the organizer of exhibitions, concerts, film

screenings, theatre performances, lectures, publications and conferences. (KIOSK,

KASKcinema, KASKlezingen, MIRY-concerts, Jazz-sessions, Studium Generale...)

There are, of course, also numerous student productions. During the academic year, there

is a nearly continuous stream of presentations and performances, allowing you the

opportunity to sample the work of your fellow students from music to design, from

painting to film and performance.

At the end of June, the year is festively concluded with the presentations of the master

and bachelor students’ graduating works. Apart from the end-of-year exhibition, concerts,

the annual fashion show, the drama festival and the premiere of KASKfilms are hosted.


2. Student administration, guidance and coaching

The School of Arts offers many services to increase the chance of success in your studies.

We guarantee optimal guidance through this process in order to determine the studies that

are best in line with your interests. You will be informed about possible study paths to

d. Going Abroad

Gaining international experience within your study program is easy at School of Arts

Ghent. Since the art field is pre-eminently international, we have an excellent

international network with partner institutions and organizations that can help you find

your bearings on your artistic path. During your studies at School of Arts Ghent you can

study abroad for a semester or an entire year. The easiest and most accessible way to do

this is via the Erasmus+ program. You can choose from a list of approved partner

institutions. In addition, School of Arts Ghent have several bilateral agreements with

institutes outside Europe. Another option to gain some international experience is to carry

out a work placement abroad.

Els Moens is also the contact person for all incoming exchange students.





e. The Learning Deposit

How does it work?

If you are following an initial bachelor or master program, the Flemish Ministry of

Education will grant you an initial learning deposit that contains a total of 140 credits. At

the beginning of the year, the number of credits for which you have registered is

subtracted from your learning deposit – for a year of full-time studies, you will be

subtracted 60 credits. You earn back the subtracted credits for the subjects you registered

for by passing the examinations for these subjects. You lose the credits for the subjects

you fail. Each subsequent year of full-time studies also costs 60 credits.

BONUS

Because the Flemish Ministry of Education recognizes that your transition as an

international student offers unexpected challenges, you will receive some extra vouchers

as a new student – the first 60 credits you earn back are doubled. If you do not earn back

all 60 credits in the first year, this bonus can be carried over to subsequent years.

OBJECTIVE

The system of the "learning deposit" is aimed at increasing the responsibility of both the

student and the institution in the choice, conduct, and result of studies. The School of Arts

Ghent only receives funding from the Flemish government for initial bachelor and master

programme students with sufficient learning accounts.

For whom?

This learning deposit is a measure affecting all students in Flanders who are registered in

initial bachelor and master programmes. Students in other programmes, such as post-

initial master or doctoral programmes, are not affected by the learning account, but will

probably face higher tuition fees.

Your final total

You retrieve all credits for the subjects you pass, but at the end of your education (= when

you have obtained your first master degree), the original 140 credits that you were granted

are subtracted when you receive your master's degree, leaving you with your final total.

The Flemish government provides a website where you are given an overview of your

learning deposit: how much you’ve staked, and how much you’ve earned or lost, taking

bonus credits in account (https://authenticatie.vlaanderen.be/stb/html/ssologin). You can

also consult your learning deposit at https://ibamaflex.hogent.be (see further on) or

contact the study path coach on this issue.

4. Academic Calendar

Since we have two types of education (professional vs. academic), we use two types of

calendars. Make sure you have the correct calendar in front of you:

Calendar for professional courses:

Bachelor of Interior Design

Bachelor of Landscape and Garden Architecture

Advanced Bachelor of Landscape Development

Calendar for academic courses: Bachelor or Master:

Bachelor or Master Audiovisual Arts

Bachelor or Master Visual Arts

Bachelor or Master of Drama

Bachelor or Master of Music

Advanced Master of Contemporary Music

The postgraduate programmes may follow a different calendar. Contact your

coordinator or study path coach for more information.

Welcome week

Before the academic year starts, we invite all our new students to explore their new

campus, school, teachers, and meet fellow students during a welcome week. We guide

them around (studios, campus, the city), and organise information sessions about the

studios, theoretical classes, ordering study books, the catering, library, study guidelines,

study costs,… During this week, we hand out schedules of the programme and some maps

to make sure students can find everything on campus. By the end of the week, the

schedules of the lessons are published on our website, www.schoolofartsgent.be.

Start Academic year

An academic year starts at the end of September. One year contains two semesters of 12

to 13 weeks of lessons. Free days (All Saints Day, Armistice Day, Easter, Ascension…)

are marked on the calendar. There are no lessons on these National Holidays and the

school is closed during them.

http://schoolofartsgent.be/en/education/calendars-and-schedules

First Project Week

Half way through each semester, we organise a project week. Since there are two

semesters in one year, we organise two project weeks. During a project week, there are

no lessons. Each department organizes special events for their students, ranging from

workshops, visiting exhibitions, to possibly seeing an artist perform. There are no lessons,

but participation from students is mandatory.

http://www.schoolofartsgent.be/

http://schoolofartsgent.be/en/education/calendars-and-schedules


Christmas Holidays

The Christmas Holidays last for two weeks, during which the school is closed.

First Exam period

During an academic year we organise three exam periods. Immediately after the

Christmas Holidays, students have the first exam period. The main difference between

the calendar of the professional and academic courses lies in this period of time.

Students of the professional courses:

The exam period of students that follow a professional program lasts four weeks. After

this period, they have a lesson-free week.

Students of the academic courses:

The exam period of students who follow an academic program lasts only two weeks.

Professional courses have more semester subjects. Academic courses have more year

based subjects, resulting in a different amount of exams each semester.

Because of this difference, the second exam period of the academic courses starts earlier

than the professional courses.

Results and feedback

After each exam period, students can view their grades by logging on to Ibamaflex at

https://ibamaflex.hogent.be. The exact day of publishing the results will be announced by

e-mail and on the examination schedule. The day after students find out their results, they

can attend the “feedback moment”. At the feedback moment all teachers are available to

give you feedback on the results. It is important students use this opportunity to ask all

kinds of questions and have a look at the exam.

Lesson-free week

Only for students of the professional courses, there is a lesson-free week. This week

takes place immediately after the exam period and right before the start of their second

semester.

Start second semester

In the beginning of the year, at the start of the first semester, all lessons start in the same

week. This is rather different for the second semester. Since the difference is mostly due

to the exam period, the second semester starts at another moment for students of

professional or academic courses.

Students of the professional courses:

The second semester starts right after the lesson free week, in mid-February.



Students of the academic courses:

Since there is no lesson free week for these students, the second semester starts

immediately on Monday, after the exam period, in mid-January.

Second Project Week

Similar to the first semester, a project week is organized during the second semester.

The basic principle is the same as there are no lessons during the project week of the

second semester, but attendance is required.

Easter Holidays

In April, there are Easter holidays. Unlike the Christmas holidays, the school stays open

during the Easter holidays. Students can still use the facilities and ateliers on campus.

Lessons are not scheduled in these weeks.

Second Exam period

At the end of the second semester, there is a second exam period. Students have

theoretical exams and final juries where they have to present their artistic work. Similar

to the end of the first exam period, we inform students of their results through

https://ibamaflex.hogent.be. The day after, students can talk to their professors and ask

them for feedback.

Summer Holidays

When all exams are finished, results are known and the feedback is given, students can

enjoy the Summer Holidays. This period starts in the beginning of July and lasts until

the beginning of the next academic year.

Re-enrolment

All students who passed their examinations receive an email from the Student Affairs

Office with an invitation to re-enrol. Students who didn’t pass will receive this

invitation after the third exam period is finished.

The entire re-enrolment procedure is done online. Students can use

https://ibamaflex.hogent.be to inform the school of the courses they plan to follow the

next year. Before and during the re-enrolment-procedure, students can always make an

appointment with the study path coach.

Third Exam period

Students who failed (a) subject(s) have a second chance to pass the year anyway. Some

subjects, mainly theoretical ones, offer a second examination opportunity. Whether a

subject offers a second exam opportunity or not can be found on the ECTS-file

(www.ects.hogent.be) for that subject.



http://www.ects.hogent.be/


The third exam period starts half way through August and lasts until approximately half

way through September.

Similar to the end of the first and second exam period, we inform students of their results

through https://ibamaflex.hogent.be. The day after, students can talk to their professors

and ask them for feedback.

5. Examination

a. Preparation

Curriculum

Check your curriculum on https://ibamaflex.hogent.be to see if you have indeed been

officially enrolled for the subjects you’re following. If you see something you don’t

understand, please contact the study path coach of your course (or contact the student

affairs department). Changing the curriculum is possible until November 30 (needs to be

done before December 1st) for year based subjects or subjects of the first semester and

until March 14 (needs to be done before March 15th) for subjects of the second semester.

After these dates, you risk losing both money and learning deposit.

ECTS-files

An overview of the evaluation criteria for each subject can be found at

https://www.hogent.be/studiefiches Does the professor asks for a paper or another

assignment, do you have to pass for an oral or written exam, do you get an exam half way

or at the end of the year, etc.… ? At the bottom of each ECTS-file you can find out

whether students have a second exam opportunity or not.

Schedules

Use our website: www.schoolofarts.be to check the exam schedule. Compare the schedule

to your curriculum and make sure you find all the planned exams and locations and don’t

make any mistake on subjects with similar names (always use the names of the subjects

as they are mentioned in your curriculum). Make sure you check the schedules often to

avoid missing any updates or changes.

If you have an oral exam, check the order list so you know at what time you have to be

present. Order lists are communicated via the student administration (e-mail) or via the

teacher (e-mail or Chamilo).

Absence

If you do not attend an exam, you will see ‘absent’ on your report when you check your

results. If you are ill or there is another legal reason to miss the exam, you need to inform



https://www.hogent.be/studiefiches

http://www.schoolofarts.be/


the Student Affairs Department ([email protected]) and upload the doctor’s

note or other piece of evidence on https://ibamaflex.hogent.be.

If you want to have a postponed examination, please contact

[email protected]. If a student is ill or there is another reason why they

cannot attend the moment of the jury, they have to make sure the artistic work is present

so the jury can evaluate.

Absences at evaluation moments must always been reported at the student administration

office the same day.

Evaluation of artistic work

Some courses work with attendance based evaluation. If a student misses more than

25% of all lessons, he might be graded ‘absent’.

Individual education and examination measures

Under certain conditions students may also be granted individual education and

examination measures for taking exams, studying a specific course unit or participating

in projects. Depending on the situation (disability, a medical condition, exceptional social

or individual circumstances…) you may obtain a personalized arrangement for taking

exams or attending classes.

Individual education and examination measures are granted on the explicit and individual

request of the student. Your written request must be submitted to the study path coach

and must be accompanied by all relevant certificates. The application must be submitted

before the start of the individual education and/or examination activities.

These measures are granted for a single academic year and must be applied for by the

student each year.

b. The examination

Theoretical exam

When you attend an exam, make sure you bring your student card. Don’t forget to sign

the attendance list when you hand in your exam paper.

Practical exam or jury

A jury is public. Anyone can join the presentation of your work. The deliberation of the

jury is not public. Normally we don’t organize postponed examinations for practical or

performance subjects.





Cheating/Plagiarism

When we notice a student cheated on an exam, he will be graded with a zero. Plagiarism

is forbidden. The school uses special plagiarism-software to check out if an assignment

is authentic or not. Cheating and plagiarism will have disciplinary consequences.

c. After the exam period

Evaluation and grading

Teachers and professors use a grading scale on 20 (as illustrated below), to evaluate. If a

student scores less than 10 out of 20, he fails and has to redo the exam in the second

examination period or the following year if there isn’t a second examination chance for

those courses.

Combined Courses

In some study programmes there are combined courses. Such courses are subjects that

have two or maybe three sub-courses (combined courses are indicated in your curriculum

in Ibamaflex). If a student passes all sub-courses, he/she will receive the credit for the

combined course. The grade is then the mathematic average of the points of the sub-

courses. If a student fails a sub-course and passes on the other ones, the student only has

to redo the failed sub-course(s). If a student has a mathematic average of 10 or more, one

grading of 9 on one sub-course is permitted in order to succeed on the combined course.

Announcing of the results

To find out how you scored during the examination, you can check your personal grades

through https://ibamaflex.hogent.be. If something is not clear, you can contact the study

path coach for further information or attend the feedback-session for more information.

Feedback

Feedback-sessions are organized every exam period. The day after the results are

published, students can attend the feedback-session. The feedback-sessions are the only

official moments to get feedback and all professors are obliged to be present. The time

and location of the feedback-session will be published together with the examination

schedule. It is really important to use this chance to talk to the professor and have a look

at the exam you took.

Toleration

Rarely and under specific circumstances only, the school tolerates a deficit on a specific

subject. First of all the student must be in a year where he/she can get a diploma (bachelor

or master). Secondly the student must have scored a minimum 9/20 on all subjects and

thirdly, the shortage of credits has to be less than 6 (for example: a 9/20 for a course of 7

credits will not be tolerated, two courses with a score of 9/20 of each 3 credits can be

deliberated).

Study progress monitoring

A student’s study progress is an indication of how this student makes progress in a

learning track. It is the study path coach who follows up on the student’s study progress.

When this progress is not according to our expectations (passing for at least half of the

enrolled credits) binding conditions can be imposed. These will need to be met by the

student in order to be allowed to continue his or her studies. If, the next year, the study

path coach or the study progress monitoring committee notices that the binding conditions

were not met, resulting in a lack of positive study progress, the school can reject further

enrolment of the student.

Topping up your e-purse online

1. E-purse is the electronic payment system

HOGENT/UGent students and personnel

use to (amongst other things) pay for the

copies on the HOGENT multi functional

printers

Your student card (HOGENT students) /

campus card (UGent students) gives you

access to your electronic purse (e-purse).

On the multi functional printers and the

large format printers you can also log on

with your HOGENT user name and

password.

2. There are two ways to top up your e-

purse

1. via https://epurse.hogent.be

2. via a money charger on the campusses

Schoonmeersen and Mercator

http://epurse.hogent.be/

https://epurse.hogent.be/


3. Surf to https://epurse.hogent.be

Log on with your Hogent/UGent user

name and password.

4. Select an amount

Select how much money you wish to put

on your card. Click “Opwaarderen” to

carry out the online payment.

Attention: You did not pay just yet. In

order to pay, you’ll need to complete the

following steps.

e. Library

1.1. BYB Hoogpoort (Music-Library)

The conservatory library, founded in 1835, houses almost 200,000 titles, which adds up

to almost two kilometers of books. The collection comprises a wide range of specialized

literature, from monographs to encyclopedias, as well as over 400 periodicals. At its

core, however, are its musical scores. As well as numerous rare editions, the most

valuable pieces are undoubtedly the autographed manuscripts of Ghent composers like

Mengal and Miry. The contemporary repertoire is also comprehensively represented.

Now, collections are not only acquired on paper, but also in digital format. In the past

few years, the range of information and knowledge available electronically has also

been greatly expanded.

The library is situated on Campus Hoogpoort, De Wijnaert-building, Geraard De

Duivelstraat 5, 9000 Gent. T: 0032 9 243 36 70

Do you have a suggestion for expanding the library collection, or an idea for a library

activity? Send an email to [email protected].

More information at bib.hogent.be

Opening hours

Monday - Thursday: 9:00 to 18:00

Friday: 9:00 to 17:00

1.2. New arts library

KASK, S.M.A.K. and the Design Museum Gent have merged their library collections

into a new arts library and now houses an impressive collection of books about the visual

arts, architecture, photography, film, etc. The majority of these will be displayed on open

shelves. With these two collections under one roof, Flanders will be getting an important

and unique new library. There is no doubt that this will become a central location for

scientific research into the arts.

Following a full renovation, the new arts library moved to the House of The Abbess in

the Bijloke campus. This innovative artistic landmark will look towards the future while

providing a welcoming invitation to both students and the public. More info:

7. Language requirements

(does not apply to exchange students)

For each academic bachelor or master study at the School of Arts – University College

Ghent, the language level (Dutch for bachelor and English or Dutch for master) is

evaluated as part of the artistic entrance exam. This means that when the language level

cannot be considered sufficient at the artistic entrance exam, candidates can be refused.

Candidates who succeed for the artistic entrance exam (for bachelors) can enter only with

the proof of enrolment for a Dutch (!) language course at a recognised language

institution. This requirement stands if the student does not have a level 5 of Dutch at the

University Language Centre (or equivalent). On a yearly basis, the study path coach will

evaluate the results acquired at the language institution and if necessary can determine

restrictions as part of the study progress.

Language courses can be followed at:

The University Language centre: http://www.uct.ugent.be/en

Huis van het Nederlands: http://www.hvngent.be/en

CVO Perspectief: http://www.hetperspectief.net/courses-dutch.html

http://www.uct.ugent.be/en

http://www.hvngent.be/en

http://www.hetperspectief.net/courses-dutch.html


8. Financial information

(not applicable for exchange students)

a. Tuition fee and studio fee

Students who enrol: The tuition fee for a full-time study amounts to 938,80 € per

academic year for European and EEA-students and 2816,40 € per academic year for non-

EEA students. This fee is the sum of a fixed administrative fee + an amount charged per

credit the student takes up in his/her curriculum. As a consequence, a student who does

not enroll for a full time curriculum (60 ECTS credits), will pay a lower tuition fee. The

tuition fee is payable to the University College. The postgraduate programs and post

master programs (the advanced master-program (Contemporary Music) and the advanced

bachelor program (Landscape Development), the postgraduate programs EPAS, Digital

Storytelling, Curatorial Studies, Soloist in Classical Music and Musical Performance

Practice have higher tuition fees.

The School of Arts invoices an additional studio fee. This is a fee related to specific user

and consumer costs within the faculty and more specifically within the chosen graduating

option (examples of services/goods for which this money is applied: photocopies, waste

disposal for certain studios, field trips, the use and maintenance of in-house appliances,

maintenance of studios, costs related to events,…etc.). The studio fee depends on the

composition of the curriculum and the ratio of theoretical vs. practical subjects in the

curriculum. Another determining factor is – as mentioned - the graduating option. For the

academic year 2019-2020, the fees are as follows:

- € 25 Specific Teacher Training

- € 60 Interior Design (Distance Learning)

- € 100 Music Theory, Educational Master in Arts

- € 200 Creating Music: Composition

Performing Music: Classical Music

- € 250 Interior Design, Landscape & Garden Architecture, Landscape

Development, Instrument Building, Performing Music Jazz/Pop,

Creating Music: Music Production

- € 300 Drama, Bachelor Photography, Master Graphic Design, Multi Media

Design, Fine Arts, Fashion and Master Textiles Design,

- € 350 Bachelor Graphic Design, Bachelor Textiles Design

- € 400 Film & Animation Film, Master Photography

- € 861,20 International Master in Composition for Screen (InMICS)


Students who unregister:

A student who unregisters from the school will be refunded a part of the tuition and studio

fee, depending on the date of unregistration (degree contracts & credit contracts only).

Tuition Fee:

- Unregistering before September 24th: refund of the fixed

administrative fee, 1st and 2nd semester subjects and year

subjects.

- Unregistering before November 1st: refund of 1st and 2nd

semester subjects, refund of year subjects. No refund of

the fixed administrative fee

- Unregistering between November 1st and March 15th:

refund of 2nd semester subjects only. Year subjects, 1st

semester subjects and administrative fee are not

refunded.

- Unregistering after March 15th: no refunds.

Studio Fee:

- Unregistering before the start of the academic year:

100% refund

- Unregistering after start academic year, but before

November 1st: 75% refund

- Unregistering between November 1st and December 31st:

50% refund

- Unregistering after December 31st: no refund

The advanced bachelor and master programmes and the postgraduate programmes follow

other dates and amounts. Detailed information will be given at enrolment. For more

information, contact the student secretariat or your study path counsellor.

b. Scholarship for non-Belgians

The general outline basically is that only students with the Belgian nationality can

receive scholarships from the Belgian government.

There are a number of exceptions, so even if you do not possess the Belgian nationality,

you might be eligible for a scholarship. However, you must meet one of the following

requirements:

You are an EEA-citizen and have lived in Belgium continuously for 5 years.

You or one of your parents is an EEA-subject and has worked at least 32 hours

each month for 12 months in Belgium.

You or one of your parents is an EEA-subject and is registered as entrepreneur

for 2 years.


You are also eligible for a scholarship if you belong to one of the following categories:

You are a student with a permanent residence permit.

You are victim of trafficking and possess a certificate of a specialized shelter.

You are a foreign student under ‘subsidiary protection’.

You are subject of a country outside of the EEA and have resided officially in

Belgium for at least 12 consecutive months. Your residence permit was not

granted for reasons of higher education and there is no ongoing asylum

procedure.

You have been granted legal residence based on family reunification.

You are candidate-refugee and your procedure is still ongoing.

The website for the Belgian government also lists a number of possibilities for student

funding on this page: study and training grants.

c. Visa and residence permits

The information below gives a general example. For exact and up to date information,

check with the Belgian embassy in your country, or the Belgian immigration websites.

Students who do not have the Belgian nationality will need to obtain a (form of) residence

permit if:

- They stay in Belgium for a consecutive period exceeding 4 ½ months (European

and EEA nationalities).

- They stay in Belgium for a consecutive period exceeding 3 months (non-EEA

nationalities).

Students who are not of European or EEA nationality will also require a visa to travel to

Belgium

Information on the requirements and obtaining of a visa is available at the Belgian

Embassy or Consulate in the student’s country. The residence permit must be requested

after arrival in Belgium and after enrolling at our school. One of the requirements for the

residence permit is that you obtain an official residence in Belgium.

For more information we can refer to the Study Abroad: Destination Ghent brochure. It

contains interesting information (only indicative) on what to take into account before you

leave, when you arrive and when depart again from Belgium (and in this specific folder:

Ghent). The information in this brochure will give you a good general outline of what to

take care of.

Further and correct information is available from the Belgian government’s official

webpage on studying in Belgium.

Be aware that non EEA-students have to submit their residence permit, one received, at

the student administration as a last step of the subscription process. Students for whom

the school doesn’t have a copy of the visa and residence permit cannot re-enroll the next

academic year.

d. Housing in Belgium

Currently, regular students need to take the initiative of finding a place to stay during their

studies themselves, because the University College does not provide accommodation

other than to exchange students and Belgian students.

We can offer a number of helpful links. If you intend to live in Ghent, you can contact

the University College’s Student Aid Services department (Dienst

Studentenvoorzieningen) and check whether they can assist in your search

([email protected] - ++ 32 (0)9 243 37 38).

Alternatively, the site http://www.kotatgent.be is an excellent database for students who

are trying to find a place to live (this site focuses on Ghent) – For the rest of Belgium

http://www.immoweb.be is a good starting point for the private market).

9. Cultural events – artistic activities

Consult our agenda on the School of Arts website and our newsletters for more

information!

a. KIOSK

KIOSK occupies a unique place in the Flemish arts landscape. As a space for

contemporary art, it is positioned in the segment between large museum and institutional

exhibition spaces on the one hand, and smaller, experimental spaces on the other. In 2006,

KIOSK began its activities in a small, glass pavilion. In February 2010, it swapped this

temporary location for a new exhibition space in the restored Cloquet building’s former

anatomical theatre on the Bijloke site.

KIOSK aims at a systematic, monographic approach, which mainly takes the form of

double exhibitions. Using this dialectical model, KIOSK tries to bring the dynamic within

the creative process to the fore and to help shape a wider frame of reference in which the

artist’s work can be understood. This position is intrinsic to the educational context in

which KIOSK works.

KIOSK is an initiative of Kunstensite vzw and KASK, and its work is supported by the

Flemish Government. KIOSK receives additional support from the city of Ghent and the

province of East Flanders.

kioskgallery.be

b. Miry Concert-hall

Throughout the academic year the Conservatory organizes several concert programmes

where young musicians are offered a stage to present themselves to an audience. This is

where enthusiasm and natural musicality reveal the fresh face of music. The Conservatory

houses a number of ensembles where as a student you can get the playing or singing

experience you need. In some periods the work revolves around larger productions such

as orchestra, wind band and opera.

http://www.miryconcertzaal.be/

c. KASKcinema

The School of Arts Ghent not only houses a film programme but now also has its own

film theatre. This brand new cinema on the historical Bijloke grounds wishes to

offer students and other film enthusiasts a programme of films not readily available in the

regular circuit. There is a focus on films that explore the boundaries of the medium,

on new forms of audiovisual culture and innovative and original films, but also

https://www.schoolofartsgent.be/en/calendar-news/

http://www.kioskgallery.be/en

http://www.miryconcertzaal.be/


on canonical films that are only rarely screened in the optimal circumstances of a film

theatre.

KASKcinema is an initiative of the School of Arts Ghent in cooperation with a number

of cultural partners such as Courtisane, Film-Plateau, the Flanders Film Festival Ghent,

S.M.A.K., Vooruit and Filemon.

www.kaskcinema.be

d. Graduation

Graduating in the arts is a reason to celebrate. During the June Graduation festival, final

year students present their work at various locations in Ghent.

e. Tunes a jazz night

TUNES a jazz night

For a whole day and night, jazz in all its incarnations takes over the streets and cafés of

Ghent. A collaboration between the conservatory and Flat Nine vzw for Unesco

International Jazz Day.

f. Gentsche Festspiele

During the Ghent Festivities (which takes place in July), the Conservatory, Trefpunt and

Hardscore will be joining forces to present an eight-day music festival in KANTL and

MIRY. Old favorites like the Gentse Vleugels piano festival and the International

Chamber Music Festival will be sided by several new productions: Schoonzicht (‘Great

View’), a series of jazz and pop concerts that will take place in the conservatory tower;

and new evening productions.

g. Het paviljoen

Het Paviljoen is a meeting place where young positions in the contemporary art field

collaborate and present their work within a professional framework. Het Paviljoen houses

a project which includes a series of five exhibitions that focuses on the traditional division

between form and content, space and context. As an architectural skeleton stripped of its

historical function as a waiting room, the glass pavilion has transformed into an empty

display case that offers room for imagination and experimentation. Therefore the

exhibition series are based on five architectural elements: shape, dimension,

configuration, surface and openings. The formal qualities, the non-functionality and the

blankness of the space enable us to generate new content, without any prescribed themes

or given frameworks. Also, the specificity and historicity of the glass pavilion, which

strongly contrasts with the colossal Cloquet building, arouses reflection on the possible

meanings of space, architecture and the role of the institute. The alternating ensemble of

young artists, writers and curators makes Het Paviljoen a dynamic and unpredictable

space with many possibilities for new ideas and collaborations.

http://www.kaskcinema.be/


h. MAP

The project space for the master’s degrees in fine arts, photography, multi-media design

and graphic design will continue under the title MAP. This academic year, twelve

presentations are planned. MAP generally takes place at the “Glazen Gang”,

Punctum

Punctum is a young, independent, non-profit organisation from Ghent. Its aim is to

promote photography, especially contemporary photography. Its ambition is to be an

inspiring beacon of light and critical guide in the midst of a seemingly chaotic visual

culture. It wants to shed light on topical phenomena in photography without losing touch

with photography’s rich past. Punctum wants to provide a cross section of developments

within the medium and it chooses those developments that it considers relevant or

valuable at this time. / punctum.be

Courtisane

As a festival and platform to showcase film, video and media art, Courtisane makes a

resolute choice for adventure and reflection. Courtisane’s programmation constitutes a

kaleidoscopic mosaic of styles, media, gestures, languages and emotions; a patchwork

of recent and historical works that share an insatiable hunger for experimentation, a

personal signature, and a sense of resistance. Courtisane has been organizing a yearly

festival since 2002. courtisane.be
