Ghent University Ghent University (Dutch: "Universiteit Gent" , abbreviated as UGent) is a public research university located in Ghent, Belgium. It was established in 1817 by King William I of the Netherlands. After the Belgian revolution of 1830, the newly formed Belgian state began to administer the university. In 1930, it became the first Dutch-speaking university in Belgium, whereas French had previously been the standard academic language. In 1991, the university was granted major autonomy and changed its name accordingly from "State University of Ghent" (Dutch: "Rijksuniversiteit Gent" , abbreviated as "RUG") to its current designation. The University supports the University Library and the University Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals in Belgium.
