ANNUAL TUITION FEE € 600 € 80 (reduced fee) INFO www.masterphotonics.be [email protected] Master of Science in Photonics Engineering Ghent University (UGent, Belgium) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB, Belgium) jointly offer an English-taught, two year (120 ECTS) master of science program in the field of photonics. The program provides an in-depth education in photonics, with focus on both the fundamental science and the engineering of light-based phe- nomena and systems. Photonics graduates move into PhD positions in top level research groups all around the world or into R&D positions in industry. The program: teaches all the core photonics courses offers advanced photonics courses broadens knowledge and skills in secondary engineering domain (ICT, biosciences, physics and chemistry of materials, etc.) has a strengthened focus on: Photonic skills (measurement, engineering and research skills) Employability (internship, entrepreneurship, photonics in industry) includes a master thesis project in a research lab
