Postgraduate Studies in Weather and Climate Modeling
Ghent University (in collaboration with the Royal Meteorological Institute) anticipates the present increase in international attention for high-impact weather and air pollution and offers a study programme that also focuses on these issues rather than only on climate change. The Postgraduate Studies in Weather and Climate modeling offers the essential courses needed to start research in meteorology and numerical weather prediction.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).
