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.
- Access to flexible, online, and blended learning options from ENLIGHT partners. Here you can find the current offering of online and blended ENLIGHT courses. In the future, you will be able to enroll in online courses from ENLIGHT partners through the ENLIGHT Course Catalogue. In this way, you get access to the best courses and teachers across various disciplines, and the opportunity to collaborate with international students.
- 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.
- Het ENLIGHT Student Network waarbij studentenvertegenwoordigers van de 10 universiteiten betrokken worden in het beleid en bijdragen aan een Europese studentencommunity. Klinkt dit als iets voor jou? Contacteer hen dan!

ENLIGHT courses
Do you have space in your curriculum to take a course in the first semester of the next academic year (‘25-’26)? Then consider an international experience with ENLIGHT! Below you find an overview of ENLIGHT courses that are organized online or in a blended format. If you wish to apply for a course, please check whether you meet the entry requirements on the website and contact your Faculty Internationalisation Officer well before 15/04/2024.
Please note: For each of these courses, specific students from one Ghent University 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.
