Course recommendations
I studied Communication Studies. My subject seems to be in one of the only faculties which don't teach in English. Consequently, there are no lectures to attend or exams to take. It's all private study so you don't get much guidance from the professers. You need to be very motivated otherwise you'll be like me and leave all the essays to the last minute!

Personal comments
The course would really improve if it was taught in English so Erasmus students could attend lectures and integrate more with the faculty.

Overall
I wish I had known...
EUROLINES is the cheapest company to travel around europe.
ALDI is a cheap supermarket.
Be careful with the contract ask for one copy in English, don't trust in a simple translation.

“Excellent university.”

Communication and Information Sciences, 2022
Overall
High-level university which is also accessible as the uni fees in Belgium are not that elevated. Most courses are very qualitative and teachers/professors invested and present.
