Coming to Ghent as a self-funded doctoral student is possible if a professor is willing to supervise you and if you can provide the university with proof of income.

If you are interested in one of the above possibilities, please get in touch with one of the professors of the GCLA: https://www.gcla.ugent.be/members/#anchor0
