Essential info for studying and living in Belgium

Moving to a new country to study is exciting, but it also comes with lots of questions. How do you apply? Which documents do you need? When should you start looking for a room? And where do you even begin?

Our Practical Talks are live online sessions that help you prepare for studying at Howest. We guide you through the practical information international degree students often need before getting started and answer the questions we receive most. And of course, there’s time for your questions too.

Our upcoming sessions focus on two important topics: admissions and housing.
