General description
Do you have what it takes to become a (Gh)ENTREPRENEUR? Are you looking for some COMPANY this summer? Are you ready for a new (ad)VENTURE? Do you crave for your cup of STARTUP? (haha, we gave you some wordplays here)
Then don't hesitate to apply for this Summer Course in Ghent! The engineering department of Ghent University has its own branch that is specialized in entrepreneurship and we have assembled a team of teachers that is very motivated to make your dreams come true!
Ghent is located in the wonderful 'Belgium' aka the country of chocolate, beer, waffles and fries! We can't wait to let you taste all this heaven-made food/drinks and to show you our culture! Beware for the most legendary social activities (for example, the real original cantus, only to be seen in Belgium!) and get ready to meet some new friends!
Warning: Ghent is also the city of bikes so we will use them a lot! Some biking experience is a must :)
As our good friend Mark Zuckerberg once said "In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." So take the risk and write your motivation letter for this unforgettable Summer Course. We can't wait to see you :D
