Contents
The European (Erasmus Mundus) Master of Science in Photonics is a 2-year (4 semesters - 120 ECTS credits) program, with a fixed mobility track.
* First semester: takes place in Belgium at Ghent University and is devoted to the fundamental basics of photonics in depth and to an introduction to the breadth of photonics.
* Second semester: takes place in Belgium at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and is devoted to engineering skills in photonics and to applications of photonics.
* Third semester: takes place in Scotland, UK at the University of St Andrews and is devoted to advanced photonics and research skills in photonics.
* Fourth semester: is entirely devoted to the master dissertation. The location of the fourth semester depends on the student's thesis choice. The thesis can take place in all partner universities and also in one of the four associated academic partners.
Each year is concluded by a Summer School whereby first and second year students meet, do project, attend lectures of world-renownded speakers in the field of photonics.
Furthermore, during the summer break after year 1, students can do an academic or industrial internship in a photonics company or reserach institute.

Requirements
The European (Erasmus Mundus) Master of Science in Photonics offers admission to applicants who appear to have the highest potential for graduate study and who, with the benefit of a graduate education, are the most likely to contribute substantially to their academic or professional fields through teaching, research, or professional practice.
The minimum graduate admission requirements are:
* A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution (minimum 3 years full time study or 180 ECTS credits) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics, Materials Science or a related discipline. Students in their last year of such a bachelor programme will however also be considered.
* Sufficient English language ability. The following shall be accepted as proof: * the prospective student has already successfully completed a one-year English-language study programme, either at a different institution of higher education or at a secondary school;
* a TOEFL-TEST, taken as recently as within the last two years, showing a score of at least 570 (paper-based) or 87 (internet-based)
* an original "test report from" (TRF) from IELTS, issued as recently as within the last two years, showing a score of at least 6.5, with a minimum of 6.0 per each part
* If prospective students hold a secondary education diploma, an academic Bachelor's diploma or a Master's diploma awarded by an educational institution that is duly recognised by the Flemish Community, no proof of sufficient English language ability must be provided.
* If English is an official language of your country, no English proof of sufficient English language ability must be provided.
