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.
