  • visiting scholarships (1 to 3 months) for scholars with two or more years of postdoctoral experience: funding through Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) or through our Faculty’s Commission for Scientific Research (CWO) (intranet only).

Coming to Ghent as a self-funded doctoral student is possible if a professor is willing to supervise you and if you can provide the university with proof of income. More information
