Master of Science in Silicon Photonics
Silicon photonics is a technology that uses silicon-based materials to manipulate and transmit light signals in a reliable, compact and cost-effective way. This advanced master programme is covering all necessary knowledge and skills to start a career in the field of silicon photonics.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Language requirements
Language requirements for the MSc in Silicon Photonics differ from the required standard level for English taught study programmes as specified in the Ghent University Education and Examination Code:
English: IELTS: min. 6.0 - TOEFL: min. 72-94 or higher (internet-based) or min. 510-559 or higher (paper based) - Cambridge-ESOL: first certificate in English (FCE) - Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic): min. 59-75.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
