  1. Master of Science in Photonics Erasmus Mundus European

  2. Erasmus Mundus • Programme by the European Union • Cooperation and Mobility programme • Purposes: • Enhance quality of European Higher Education • Intercultural understanding through cooperation with third countries • Boundary conditions • Master programme involves at least universities of 3 EU countries. • Mobility scheme for the students implies that they study in at least two different EU countries.

  3. The EMSP Consortium Vrije Universiteit Brussel Brussels, Belgium Ghent University Ghent, Belgium Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden University of St AndrewsSt Andrews, United Kingdom

  4. A brief history: 2006-2011 • Started in 2006 • 5 starting classes with EM-scholarships • Sept. 2006 – July 2011 • Constant improvements • Based on students feedback • Based on reports of the Quality Committee

  5. 2011-…: New and improved program • Single mobility track • Improved course structure • New partnerships

  6. EMSP: Single track mobility 30 ECTS 30 ECTS 30 ECTS 30 ECTS

  7. EMSP: Course structure Sem 1 • fundamental basics of photonics in depth • introduction to the breadth of photonics  30 ECTS compulsory courses Sem 2 • engineering skills in photonics • applications of photonics  22.5 ECTS compulsory + 7.5 ECTS elective Sem 3 • advanced photonics • research skills in photonics  14 ECTS compulsory + 16 ECTS elective Sem 4 • master thesis  30 ECTS
