Ghent University opens academic year 2024-2025
Friday 20 September 2024 the official opening ceremony took place, and Monday 23 September the lessons begin. We wish each of you a smooth start of the new academic year.
On Friday 20 September 2024 we started the academic year with a procession departing from Home Canterbury, and making its way to the UFO building for the formal ceremony.
The session could be followed in both Dutch and English and was also interpreted live by a Flemish Sign Language interpreter.
