Welcome aboard to the University of Antwerp!

Soon you'll be setting out for Antwerp, a charming waterfront city with a rich cultural history and countless attractions. It's a vibrant metropolis with a lively social scene, impressive architecture and striking cultural diversity. Over 170 nationalities live in Antwerp, more than in New York!

Going abroad for an extended period is always an adventure. The International Students Office is here to support you as you prepare for your arrival at our university. 

You'll receive a series of info emails between late April and late August 2026, and two pre-arrival online info sessions are scheduled for 24 June and 17 July 2026. Students with a Letter of Acceptance from the University of Antwerp will receive a personal invitation to the Goin' app. Don't forget to check out our pre-arrival explainer videos as well! 

We can't wait to meet you during the Welcome Week!
