Low Countries Studies

A  new series will start on Thursday 14 February 2013. The programme is now being finalised

What is LCS?


Low Countries Studies is a post academic acculturation programme for exchange students and other foreign students and researchers, who want to learn more about Flanders, Belgium and the Netherlands. The students are given a broad overview of various aspects of Flemish society (language, art and culture, history, the media, the Flemish landscape, town and country planning, etc ...) and everyday customs in Flanders.

The Low Countries Studies programme does not lead to a degree, only to a certificate. The programme is not a full-time degree programme and cannot be used to gain access to university studies. If you are a student, you need to follow it as an additional programme. Since this is a post academic programme, there are no ECTS credits to be obtained.

When?


The programme consists of a series of 12 lectures and some extra activities. The first session takes place on Thursday 14 February 2013. See the full programme for 2012-2013 (to be finalised).

The lectures take place on Thursdays at 7 pm and last till the end of May 2013. All lectures take place in the building of the Faculty of Arts, Auditorium C, ground floor, Blandijnberg 2, 9000 Gent.
