The DNA of Artevelde UAS

To stand still is to go backwards. That's why over the past 20 years, we have put much effort into innovation and quality. The result? Artevelde University of Applied Sciences as a driven centre of expertise and a warm, professional university college.

Day after day, everyone puts everything into pushing boundaries. We set the bar high, and you can tell - that much is certain. 

What exactly will the future look like? We don't know. But we know that our society is evolving at lightning speed, and we must respond flexibly to those changes. That is why it is our job to prepare students for the world of tomorrow, in the best way we can.

And we do that together, as one Artevelde University of Applied Sciences. Because with one powerful voice and one central, clear vision, we can move mountains. With our plan, we focus on the same goal: making the world of tomorrow today!

Who are we doing it for?

In the future, learning, living and working will increasingly become intertwined. So we offer practical and future-oriented courses. With our wide range of options, we offer programmes to recent secondary school graduates and professionals who want to reorient or deepen their profession. On top of that, we invest in research and provide various services to businesses and organisations, which effectively helps us build the world of tomorrow. And with our high-quality research and effective services, we are equally helping to develop the world of tomorrow.  

What do we believe in?

Authenticity  

Every talent is an asset; we're sure of that. of that we are certain. At Artevelde, we foster a campus culture where everyone can just be themselves and become their best version. In everything we do, we aim for honesty and integrity. 

Engagement 

We like to pay attention to the whole person behind our staff members and students. We want to consider the complete picture: not just their talents and ambitions but also their insecurities and needs. In short, we like to give people room to experiment, learn from their mistakes, grow after failing, and get up and start again.  

Enthusiasm  

If you do what you love, you never have to work a day. It's a well-known idea we put a lot of faith in. But putting the right person in the right place makes all the difference. And that you need passion, curiosity and creativity to make positive changes in this world. 

Societal engagement 

Our enthusiasm helps us be bold and engage with significant social issues, from climate change to societal inequality. This is where our expertise and research come into play; that's how we can change our education system and society.  

How do we make a difference?
