Going abroad may be a life-changing experience. The chance to spend time in different European cities, brings students in touch with different cultures, languages and and a wide variety of workplace experiences.

International experience is becoming more and more important in our current global society. It helps you stand out from the crowd when introducing yourself to the job market, both in industry and in academia. Employers explicitly emphasize the importance of implementing such workplace training in the programmes and as an ambitious university, it is our responsibility to respond to this call!

The Master of Science in Photonics Engineering gives students the opportunity to implement an international component in their curriculum through an Erasmus+ Exchange or Traineeship/Internship in a photonics company or research institute.

• Erasmus+ Exchange: spend 1 sem or a full year abroad
• Erasmus+ Traineeship: spend min 2 months in a company or research institute outside of Belgium
