Antwerp
Antwerp is our home base. Here you’ll find the majority of our campuses, but we also have bases in Mechelen and Turnhout. All our campuses are located in the heart of the city. So they’re easy to reach and there’s always something fun to do in the neighbourhood.
Broad choice
AP has plenty of passions and programmes to choose from. You can choose from various:
- fields of study (communication, arts, science, care …)
- degree levels (associate degree, bachelor, postgraduate, microcredential …)
- flexible programmes (short, evening, work & study …)
Close contact
Higher education requires a strong sense of responsibility and discipline. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. At AP you can count on a strong personal approach:
- Most classes are taught in small groups.
- You develop a close bond with your lecturers.
- Each programme has its own student counsellor(s) for questions and problems.
Do it yourself
Do you like to learn by doing? Check! All our programmes are hands-on. So get ready to get busy: both on campus and in the workplace. You’ll learn the tricks of the trade through workshops, simulations, real-life assignments, company visits, internships, workplace learning …
Extracurricular activities
Want to get involved in something other than your studies? Apply for our student council. Join a student club. Get involved in the AP gaming community. Start your own business as a young entrepreneur... There are lots of options to choose from.
Flamingo’s

Never too old
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve just finished secondary school or want to go back to school (a bit) later in life. We’ll help you get that (extra) diploma.
Off-time
There’s more to student life than just studying. That’s why we regularly organise fun activities on campus so you can relax and get to know your fellow students.
