Overzicht inhoud van dit studieplan

The model learning track of the Master of Science in Photonics Engineering consists of 120 ECTS.

Two tracks are offered:
a full on-campus track (MA1 and MA2 on campus)
an online/digital track (MA1 online/digital, MA2 on-campus)

The on-campus track consists of:
1. In the first year of the model learning track:
- 52 ECTS of Compulsory General Courses
- 8 ECTS of Advanced Photonics Electives

2. In the second year of the model learning track:
- 4 ECTS of Compulsory General Courses
- 8 ECTS of Advanced Photonics Electives (or only 4 ECTS if the student is enrolled for the 'Long Internship in Photonics' (10 ECTS) or for the 'Short Internship in Photonics' (5 ECTS))
- 18 ECTS of Multidisciplinary Engineering Electives (or only 12 ECTS if the student is enrolled for the 'Long Internship in Photonics' (10 ECTS) or only 17 ECTS if the student is enrolled for the 'Short Internship in Photonics' (5 ECTS))
- a Master Thesis Project (30 ECTS)

International mobility is not mandatory, yet still promoted. It can be realized through:
- a Long Internship (10 ECTS) or a Short Internship (5 ECTS) done abroad;
- a master thesis carried out abroad;
- Erasmus+ exchange courses abroad, possibly combined with the master thesis;
- Internationalization@home: strong international component in master thesis, course Recent Trends in Photonics, possible other UGent/VUB courses with strong international component.

In totaal, omvat dit studieplan 120 ECTS credits.

Optional Internships

Students can select one of the optional internships as part of their electives.

Students can select a long (10 ECTS, min. 10 weeks) or a short (5 ECTS, min. 5 weeks) internship, during the summer holidays between year 1 and year 2 of the master programme (= semester 1 version of the Internships) or during the summer holidays at the end of year 2 of the master programme (= semester 2 version of the Internships).

Students can spend the internship in a company or research institute inside or outside Belgium.

Students enrolled for the Long Internship have to take only 12 ECTS of Advanced Photonics Electives (instead of 16 ECTS) and only 12 ECTS of Multidisciplinary Engineering Electives (instead of 18 ECTS). Student enrolled for the Short Internship have to take 12 ECTS of Advanced Photonics Electives (instead of 16 ECTS) and only 17 ECTS of Multidisciplinary Engineering Electives (instead of 18 ECTS).

10ECTS credits - Long Internship in Photonics
