A vibrant, multicultural city

Over 500.000 citizens from 173 nationalities call Antwerp their home. Most people speak multiple languages and are very willing to talk to you about their favorite spot. With 93% of citizens satisfied with living in Antwerp (well above EU average), it's safe to say the quality of life here is pretty great. But, being located in the center of Europe, other bustling cities like Paris, London or Amsterdam are only a train ride away.

With plenty of bars, restaurants and local specialties (aka beer, chocolates and fries) to try, the city itself is a great place for students. You'll find it's past shining through while walking through medieval-looking streets or while admiring one of our 43 museums. Our pocket-sized city with its lively atmosphere and historical charm will have you falling in love in no time. 

Build your career

As a student in Antwerp, you will study in one of Europe’s most innovative business cities. Antwerp invests heavily in smart technologies, digital transformation, and data-driven innovation, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, researchers, and tech companies to collaborate.
