gdm-grafimediatechnologie.jpgWhat?

This international program is conceived to deepen your skills and knowledge in a particular field of study. You will need to choose:

  • 1 LAB: in this LAB you will work individually and creatively on a project. You will be guided and challenged by the lecturers and work in a motivational environment between your peers. You will also receive a lot of freedom, as long as you raise the bar high enough.
  • 2 EXPERT CLASSES: in these classes experts from specialized fields are invited to go deeper into specific niches and topics linked to a LAB. At the end of the classes you will need to pass an exam.
    You will need to choose:
    • 1 expert class linked to your LAB
    • 1 expert class linked to another LAB

As an Erasmus student you will integrate easily as you follow the classes/labs together with your Flemish 3rd year student colleagues. English is the language of instruction, if not you will receive instructions simultaneously in English.

Who

You can participate if you are an incoming Erasmus student from one of our partners, studying in the field of the proposed LABS. This means that you will already need a more than solid background in and a zealous passion for the subject matter. In addition to that you will of course need to be fluent in written and spoken English.
