The university college Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst (W&K) joins leading institutes for higher education in Flanders: Lemmens Institute (Leuven), Narafi (Brussels), Sint-Lucas Architecture (Brussels-Ghent), Sint-Lucas Visual Arts (Ghent) and Sint-Lukas Brussels (Brussels).
The administrative centre of the university college is located in Brussels, the capital
of Belgium and of the European Union. The campuses are spread across Flanders: in Brussels, Ghent and Leuven. The multidisciplinary character of the Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst is definitely an asset. Interpreters and architects, musicians and engineers, cameramen and economists, computer programmers and visual artists are complementary and work together.
The Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst is a partner in the K.U.Leuven Association(http://associatie.kuleuven.be/).
The Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst offers high-quality education, capable of withstanding comparison with national and international levels. Its student-oriented education reaches beyond the transfer of knowledge. The educational programmes
focus on a motivating way of tutoring the student and creatively supporting the individual learning process.
In this way students are prepared for their future social role, gaining the necessary competences for further qualification.
Several faculties of the Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst have a long tradition in (applied) scientific research. The university college stimulates the
expansion of all possible scientific research and the development and practice of the arts as a socio-cultural service. The Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst emphasizes on the social relevance of research and the added value for the educational programmes. The university college interacts openly and strongly with its partners in the field of action: business and the arts, universities, institutes for
higher education and other research organisations, at home and abroad.
