In 1995, Howest, University of Applied Sciences became a single autonomous Higher Education Institution because of a merger of six prominent institutions of higher education in Flanders. Since then the development within Howest has taken on a fresh impetus and we are now one of the leading providers of higher education in the province. Today more than 10.000 students are enrolled at Howest pursuing 30 Bachelor’s Programmes covering a wide range of disciplines. We have more than 1.000 international students, coming from all over the world, i.e. 100 different countries. You can find us in the lovely cities of Bruges and Kortrijk. Our university offers an open, vibrant, cosmopolitan and friendly environment and a wealth of educational opportunities, with an emphasis on high quality and practice-oriented courses.
