About University of Antwerp
The University of Antwerp is a young, dynamic and forward-thinking university. It integrates the assets of its historical roots with its ambition to contribute positively to society. Our university develops, provides access to and disseminates scientific knowledge through research, teaching and academic service to the community and accomplishes these tasks in a spirit of academic freedom and responsibility. The University of Antwerp espouses active pluralism. In that spirit, it stimulates critical research and teaching, reflection and debate on scientific, social, philosophical and ethical questions. Internationalization is one of the keywords in the university's mission statement. It is no coincidence that the University of Antwerp is a partner in one of the most promising European University Alliances, the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (www.YUFE.eu).
The University of Antwerp is located in the city of Antwerp, in the heart of Belgium. The city of Antwerp is not just an ancient medieval and baroque city, full of history. It is also a bustling metropolis with a vibrant social scene, impressive architecture and cultural contrasts. Over 170 nationalities live in Antwerp, more than in New York! This cosmopolitan nature is also reflected at our university. The university has more than 21 000 students: 17,5% are international students representing 127 nationalities.
UAntwerp, which was founded in 2003, scores extremely well in Young University Rankings

Creative, excellent research
The University of Antwerp undertakes scientific research which is creative and innovative, and strives for international excellence. The University stimulates both basic and applied research and their valorisation.
Of course, the University of Antwerp wants to be the best at everything. But we are also realistic: excelling in every single research field is simply not possible. Instead, we have chosen to focus on disciplines in which we have long been world leaders. These are the University of Antwerp's 15 Centres of Excellence.
Research@uantwerp
Organisational structure
The University of Antwerp has nine faculties, centres and institutes, several decision-making and advisory bodies and eleven central departments. The University of Antwerp has about 6,000 members of staff in various layers, organised according to basic academic and administrative structures.

The University of Antwerp does not operate alone. It has close ties with Antwerp University Hospital (UZA), the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp Management School (AMS) and other higher education institutions in Antwerp that belong to the Antwerp University Association. These relationships and our partnerships with the City of Antwerp and the Port of Antwerp continuously create win-win situations. Our university is embedded in an extensive socio-economic network, which ensures that we are engaged in intensive dialogue with society.
