HOGENT strives to excel in education, research, service provision and practice of the arts. Through the expertise of its staff and graduates and the valorisation of its research, HOGENT is making a valuable contribution to a critical, creative and open society.
HOGENT's mission is reflected in its student mobility, its guaranteed transparent use of ECTS, encouragement of active staff mobility, the support of international educational projects and international institutional cooperation through internationalisation of curricula and internationalisation at home.
Our international office is a central unit which encourages, informs, counsels and supports HOGENT in its endeavours to shape this objective. This international orientation is highlighted even more by our participation in Ghent University Association, which strives for an international mindset. This partnership enables us to reshape our European and international policy by taking into account the priorities set by the European Community.
HOGENT takes parts in the vibrant partnership of urban focused higher education institutions (HEI's)across Europe: U!REKA (Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance).
