HOGENT University of Applied Sciences and Arts (University College Ghent, Dutch: Hogeschool Gent), often shortened to just HOGENT, is the largest university college in Flanders, with seven faculties, one School of Arts and over 17,000 students as of 2022. Its establishment in 1995 is the outcome of two successful mergers that involved sixteen Belgian institutions of higher education. Many had been influential leaders in higher education for several decades. The current faculties are spread over the city center of Ghent and Aalst.
