Multilingualism is an important prerequisite for an optimal use of various international and intercultural learning opportunities. A solid basic understanding of Spanish, for instance, will go a long way during a study-abroad experience at a Madrid university. In some cases, language classes are necessary. Think of, for instance, a thorough knowledge of medical German in the context of an internship at a Berlin hospital. Foreign language skills, moreover, are an essential element of being able to function in a multicultural society and a future international professional context. What is more, multilingualism is also a way to give tangible form to Ghent University's vision on education, i.e. multiperspectivism. It makes it easier for students to discover various perspectives, and adopt a critical approach.
