Ghent University encourages students from countries on the OESO-DAC list to apply for a master’s degree program at the university. The grant will only be open to new students who are applying for a master’s or master-after-master program that is taught in English.
It is important to note that this grant does not cover the entire tuition fee, but it can be helpful in offsetting some of the living expenses, especially given the relatively high cost of living in Ghent.
