Student Life
Regular Student Associations
Antwerp has a very broad system of student associations. Nearly every faculty has at least one association, most of the time even one for each subject/discipline. The associations organize several activities throughout the year ("cantus", parties, grand ball and cultural excursions). Students are not obliged to join a students' association, but it is an easy and pleasant way to get to know lots of new people and to speed up the integration process. The leadership (the "praesidium") or the members can also give you some information on student life in Antwerp and about different courses. Membership is quite cheap (approximately €5) and offers several advantages when taking part in an association's activities (usually an entrance fee discount of €1 or €2).
Erasmus Student Network (ESN)
The Antwerp branch of the ERASMUS Student Network (ESN) organises student activities throughout the year for exchange students. In addition, the International Relations Offices of the Antwerp Association offer a cultural programme in co-operation with ESN.
Sports
Sport activities at the UA are open for all UA students and where possible for UA staff, UA alumni and college students of the Antwerp University and Colleges Association.
Language courses
Dutch Language Courses
The ability to master the language of instruction at the host institution is crucial. With this in mind the UA organizes courses in Dutch which are specifically tailored to the needs of participants. Students wishing to register as regular (i.e. not as exchange students), (may) have to fulfill some language requirements first, which is in line with Flemish law.
Other Language Courses
Each semester, language courses at different levels are organised in various languages (African, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish).
