Language courses

UAntwerp students can sign up for online language courses via Altissia. For only 10 EUR per year, you have access to language courses in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. All languages and all levels, from beginners to advanced, are available at the same time.  Each module consists of exercises, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Through videos and animated films you can improve your language skills in an interactive way. The modules don’t necessarily focus on academic language, but on language used in everyday situations.

The university’s language centre Linguapolis also organises various intensive language courses at the beginning of each semester and during the academic year. 

Student restaurants

Every campus at the University of Antwerp has a restaurant catering to students. Here, delicious and sustainable meals are provided at affordable prices. The restaurants also serve as a social location to meet with fellow students.
