The Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) of the University of Antwerp comprises four Departments: Political Science, Communications Sciences, Sociology and Training and Education Sciences. We organise five bachelor programmes and ten masters in these disciplines. With roughly 3000 students and 300+ academic and administrative staff, we are one of the leading faculties in Flanders, Belgium. Most of our programmes are Dutch taught programmes, except for the English-language Master of Political Science and Bachelor of Social-Economic Sciences. We also offer an interesting number of courses in English to facilitate the intra-European / global exchange of students (and staff). So if you are looking for a place to study for one or two semesters as an exchange student, take a look at what we have to offer you!
So, to cut it short: welcome!
