Below you can find an overview of all the courses of the Exchange Programme in Political and Social Sciences. Please note:

Not all courses are open for exchange students of all faculties. Some courses are only available for exchange students of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences.
For some courses starting with code K00xxxx an additional approval by the lecturer to follow the course is required. If that is the case for the course(s) you want to follow, you will have to contact the lecturer separately at the start of the semester to discuss your motivation and initial competences for the course(s) concerned. This means that all signed learning agreements before mobility are provisionally approved.

An overview of the courses that are not open for exchange students of other faculties and the courses that require an additional approval will be published on https://www.ugent.be/ps/en/education/internationalrelationsoffice/incoming-exchange-students/how-to-apply.htm#Selectingcourses.
