Nature Masterclasses

Ghent University has an institutional subscription to Nature Masterclasses. This subscription grants everyone with a Ghent University account access to all currently available online courses on the Nature Masterclasses platform.

Make the most of our university’s subscription! See below for details on how you can get access to the content.

If you want to include one or more of these courses as a transferable skill seminar in your doctoral training program, you will need to submit an application for recognition. Note that the usual deadline for submitting an application for recognition (30 days prior to the start of the course) does not apply to Nature Masterclass courses.

How to login for the first time

Visit masterclasses.nature.com.
Select the "Register" icon
In the "Institution" dropdown menu, look for "Universiteit Gent."
Enter your institutional email (@ugent.be, @uzgent.be, @ghent.ac.kr), set a password, and click "register." Do not create an account using a personal email, as that account will not be covered by Ghent University's subscription.
Check your inbox for the confirmation email from 'onlineservice@springernature.com,' and click the confirmation link.
You can now navigate to the courses by selecting the "Menu" button in the top left corner of the page.

Please note:

The first time you access the online course, you’ll be asked to enter a few details, such as your name and our institution name. Afterwards, you can access the content of the courses.
If you need further assistance with your course access, please refer to the Help page on the Nature Masterclasses website, where you will find further useful information, FAQs and contact details for the Masterclasses support teams.
