Study Programme Academic year 2021-2022 Faculty of and Architecture Ghent University (Programme jointly organized by Ghent University, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) European Master of in (v6) Language of instruction English Valid in the academic year 2020-2021 - accessible by re-enrolment only 1 General Courses These general courses are taught in parallel at Ghent University and at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (with lecturers from both universities), with the exception of the course 'Innovation ' (the VUB counterpart is ‘ Aspects of Micro-Electronics and Photonics'). The programme of the European Master of Science in Photonics has a compulsory international mobility, that can be taken as follows: • An international exchange through Erasmus of at least one semester; • An international internship of 10 credit units; • A master's dissertation at an international partner university (30 credit units); • A master's dissertation with a strong international component or an international research exchange of at least 6 credit units. The compulsory international mobility can partly be met by following an international Summer School (outside of Belgium), of at least 3 credit units.
