Hogeschool Gent is the result of two mergers, with a total of fifteen colleges were involved.

Hogeschool Gent

The first merger was in 1995 when thirteen colleges merged to form the University College Ghent. Five belonged to the city of Ghent, eight to community education. Most were located in Ghent, but also an institution Aalst (Higher Trade School) and a department of a Brussels university (Erasmus) joined. The offices in Aalst, Bruges and Ronse were included. The curriculum was restructured into eleven departments, including one in Aalst. This merger was the direct result of the decree of 1994 colleges.
