Teaching
How a Halvard course runs.
- Every course starts on the date shown in the catalogue and closes when its seats run out.
- One evening a week plus one Saturday a month, so a course fits beside a job.
- Practice first: ward, lab or studio — assessment is on the work, not a slide deck.
- Certificates name the institute and the dates of the cohort.
Campus
Student office, weekdays.
The student office is on the Ghent campus, weekdays 09:00–16:00. Write before the start date listed on the course if you need a seat held or a fee refunded.
