Over the years, EPL has developed over a hundred partnerships with partners in more than 36 countries (EU and non-EU) to offer exchange programmes to its students. We also offer the possibility of obtaining Double degrees, Joint Degrees or Dual Masters in several fields. The EPL is currently participating in two Erasmus Mundus programmes: FAME and STRAINS.
In addition to exchange programmes under the Erasmus+ programme, numerous agreements have been established with a wide range of universities through various partner networks such as:
- TIME network (Top Industrial Managers in Europe).
- CLUSTER network
- Magalhães network
- Circle U. network through several networks and European University Alliance
So, there's no shortage of opportunities to gain an additional qualification and/or spend part of the year abroad during your two-year Master's degree! It's the perfect opportunity to discover or improve your knowledge of a foreign language, tackle subjects from a new angle and gain unique experience in Europe or the rest of the world.
If you would like more information, please visit the dedicated pages of the EPL International Office to discover all the destinations, testimonials from former students and all the procedures to follow to make these opportunities a success.
Louvain School of Engineering takes part in Erasmus Mundus Joint Master degree program: FAME
The Erasmus Mundus joint master "Functional Advanced Materials & Engineering"- FAME, is an international program spread over Belgium, Germany, France and Portugal. Within the mobility scheme of FAME, students spend a first year either at the Technical University of Darmstadt or at the Institute National Polytechnique de Grenoble.
All classes are taught, in English. The second year of the master is then followed in one of the remaining seven partner Universities. In this context, the University of Louvain offers a second year focused on the Engineering of Materials and Nanostructures. At the end of the master program, the students will obtain a dual degree from the two Universities where they have studied.
Prof. B. Hackens is the FAMEais local coordinator at UCLouvain.
