Student services
Student restaurants
In AP’s student restaurants you can grab a bite at student-friendly prices every day. A selection from our offer: pasta, fries, salads, vegetarian dishes, delicious desserts and much more. The offer differs from campus to campus. Some campuses are also equipped with vending machines with drinks and snacks.
The following campuses have their own student restaurant:
- campus deSingel (Conservatorium)
- campus Spoor Noord - Noorderplaats
- campus Spoor Noord - Ellermanstraat
- campus Meistraat
For students of campus Mutsaard and campus Kronenburg, we have a partnership agreement with external partners. Students from campus Mutsaard can go to the student restaurant of the University of Antwerp (Komida). Students from campus Kronenburg are more than welcome at the company restaurant of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (Karibu).
Seven culture vouchers, ten euros, three moves
Are you sometimes moved by a play? Do you get inspired by a fascinating exhibition? Or would you rather be carried away by a contemporary dance performance? What is stopping you? It surely is not your budget: thanks to the culture vouchers you can indulge your cultural cravings without going bankrupt. As a student, you pay ten euros to get seven theme vouchers that give you access to more than 40 culture venues and museums and the library in Antwerp.

Computer infrastructure
Every year, AP invests in modern computer rooms. As a student, you can use these free of charge, so you do not have to buy a computer or laptop yourself. However, there are many students who like to have their own laptop. In some technical bachelor programmes, this is even recommended or mandatory. That is why AP offers laptops at an advantageous price. To this end, we can rely on two specialized companies.
Offer
The laptops offered by our partners are up to 45% less expensive than in the store. They were carefully selected by the university college. We go for models that are also used in the corporate world, which means they are very solid. The offer consists of models of the following brands:
- HP
- Lenovo
- Toshiba
- Asus
Unfortunately, we cannot offer Apple devices at a lower price than the standard student discount.
Support and warranty
If you want to buy a laptop, you can contact the following partners of AP University College:
- http://ap.academicshop.be. (Signpost bvba)
- www.campusshop.be (Paradigit)
Both partners offer laptops with different technical specifications. The main difference between both providers is the support and warranty. That difference immediately explains the difference in price. Depending on your needs you decide at which company you will buy a laptop.
AcademicShop offers a comprehensive three-year warranty that ensures that - in case of a defect - you will not lose your laptop for weeks and, if it cannot be repaired immediately, you will receive a replacement device with all your data on it.
CampusShop offers two years of 'quick student service warranty’. This means that they surely repair your device within one week.
Student support
Student clubs and councils can receive financial or logistic support for catering, sports equipment and non-educational activities of a sports, cultural, social or ecological nature. They inform the Student Facilities Service at least three weeks before the start of the activity, so there is still enough time to place an order with one of AP’s suppliers.
