ENLIGHT
An alliance of 10 European partners
Consisting of the University of the Basque Country (ES), the University of Bern (CH), the University of Bordeaux (FR), Comenius University Bratislava (SK), the University of Galway (IE), Ghent University (BE), the University of Göttingen (DE), the University of Groningen (NL), the University of Tartu (EE), and Uppsala University (SE). We combine efforts in the areas of education, research, and societal service.
What can ENLIGHT offer for students?
- Accessible and stimulating international learning experiences: from online courses, Virtual Exchange, and short-term mobility in Blended Intensive Programmes to “traditional” Erasmus exchanges and jointly developed programmes where you spend one or more semesters at another institution. In all this, we emphasize inclusive and green mobility.
- Toegang tot een flexibel, online en blended leeraanbod bij de ENLIGHT partners. Hier vind je het huidige aanbod van online en blended ENLIGHT vakken. In de toekomst kan je via de ENLIGHT Course Catalogue inschrijven op online vakken bij de ENLIGHT partners. Zo krijg je toegang tot de beste vakken en docenten in allerlei disciplines, en kan je samenwerken met internationale studenten.

- A clear societal engagement: through challenge-based education, you can help find solutions to societal challenges and contribute to making an impact. See what students think about challenge-based education within ENLIGHT here.

ENLIGHT courses
Do you have space in your curriculum to take a course in the second semester of the current academic year (‘24-’25)? Then consider an international experience with ENLIGHT! Below you find an overview of ENLIGHT courses that are organized in a blended format: they include an online component and a short physical component. If you wish to apply for a course, please check whether you meet the entry requirements on the website and contact your Faculty Internationalization Officer well before 15/11/2024.
Please note: For each of these courses, specific students from one UGent study programme are invited, and communication is done through the programme. Students from other study programmes may be placed on a waiting list, as extra spots are often available.
