Ghent University is a socially committed and pluralistic university that is open to all students, regardless of their ideological, political, cultural or social background.

Highlights are the Saint Bavo Cathedral with the Ghent Altarpiece, the belfry, the Gravensteen castle, and the splendid architecture along the old Graslei harbour.
