COURSE INFORMATION MATHEMATICS FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS
When you wish to study mathematics at Ghent university within the framework of the Erasmus/Socrates program, I advise to contact me (Leo Storme), the departemental coordinator for internationalisation mathematics at Ghent University, when you make up your learning agreement. I strongly advise to send the documents to me before signing them and before sending them to Ghent University. A lot of work and time can be saved by doing this, if something should not be correct with the documents. Be aware that not all courses can be attended by incoming Erasmus students, and it is necessary to find a learning agreement that suits the requirements of your home university and of Ghent University. Also be aware that you only have the confirmation that you can study mathematics at Ghent University after the departemental coordinator at Ghent University has accepted your application.These pages are aimed at helping you compose an appropriate learning agreement when you intend to visit Ghent University for mathematics studies within the framework of the Erasmus/Socrates exchange program. Below you will find tables with all courses organized in the bachelor-master program. By clicking on the title of a course, you will be directed to information stating whether or not the course is accessible for incoming students.
You need to be aware that not every course is accessible for incoming Erasmus students, and you need to enquire
whether there are
extra requirements in case you wish to attend this course.
So check for every
course you wish to follow in Ghent, whether or not this course can be attended by incoming Erasmus students.
Do not put courses on your learning agreement which cannot be attended by incoming Erasmus students.
You need to put together
your learning agreement in agreement with the departemental coordinator at your home university and in agreement
with the departemental coordinator Prof. Dr. Leo Storme at Ghent University . You also need to check
first all the ECTS files of all these courses for information on the
contents of this course, and to see whether you have the required preknowledge to attend this course. Also additional information
such as references to the literature is given. (see learning
agreement). The present page only describes modalities for
english speaking students coming to Ghent University. Note that dutch
speaking students can automatically take any course, except from the
first year bachelor in mathematics.
Note that the majority of the courses is taught in dutch.
Non-dutch speaking exchange students can still participate in most
cases but need to check the exchange modalities by clicking on the
course title.
- A semester at Ghent university consists of five courses of 6 ECTS study points (so 30 ECTS points in total),
and a complete academic year of 10 courses of 6 ECTS study points (so 60 ECTS points in total). The master thesis in the second master year counts for 30 ECTS study points.
Nevertheless, when making up the learning agreement in agreement with the departemental coordinator at your home university and in agreement with the departemental coordinator at Ghent University, be aware that studying at a foreign university is more difficult than studying at your home university. You are in an other country, you have to study in an other language, the method of teaching and examination is different,..., so it is best not to make your study program too hard. I advise to attend four courses per semester. If you attend five courses, you must be aware that you have a harder study program than the local students. I strongly advise not to attend five courses per semester.
- Avoid to put courses on your learning agreement which rely too much on knowledge from previous courses
given at Ghent University, as your knowledge of mathematics, acquired at your home university, differs from the knowledge of mathematics of the local students at Ghent University, so this might give problems when attending a course which relies too much on knowledge gro previous courses given at Ghent University.
- Since practically all the courses are given in dutch, for many courses, the professors will give you a reading course.
This is the case for the courses in which below you find: self-study via literature with individual guidance.
Be aware that it requires a high level of independence to self-study a course via literature. You need make a good study plan
to self-study this course, and it is also very important to make regular appointments with the professor, or assistant
responsible for this course, to get feedback; especially to get the feedback whether or not you are meeting
the standards expected from you as a student attending this course.
- In case you wish to make a bachelor project, master dissertation, or research project at Ghent University,
always contact the departemental coordinator (Leo Storme) first, since in this case, a professor guiding you for this project or
dissertation needs to be found at Ghent University. If no such professor is found, your application will not be approved.
- Please respect also all the deadlines! Studying at a foreign university is something which should be prepared thoroughly, and the preparations for your studies at Ghent University need to start well in advance. It is not evident to make up a good learning agreement; this takes time since the selection of the courses must be suited to the mathematical knowledge you obtained in your preceding studies at your home university. Especially, bachelor projects, master theses, and research projects should be considered well in advance, since these projects and theses need also to be guided by professors from Ghent University. Hence, a topic needs to be found which suits the professor who will guide you during your stay at Ghent University, which suits the requirements imposed by your home university, and which suits your interests.
