Internationalisation

The programme for the Master in Chemistry and Bio-industries offers a wide range of opportunities to study at other institutions, in Belgium, Europe and elsewhere.
The Faculty would like to highlight the strengths of this programme, particularly the potential for research and the fact that it is very much a part of a complete University. The shape of the option courses available has also been influenced by the different fields of activity in which bioengineers work. 

There are two kinds of international mobility : students who have already gained their Bachelor degree can move abroad to study for their Master at another institution ; it is also possible to take some course modules in another institution. The mobility rate for AGRO students on exchange schemes such as Erasmus is around 30-40% and the number of our students who go abroad is similar to the number of foreign students who come to study here.
This mobility should increase given the harmonization of education at the European level and the conclusion of new partnership agreements outside ERASMUS as well as membership of thematic networks. The AGRO Faculty is also a member of the ATHENS network.

In particular, the programme of the Master in Chemistry and Bio-industries offers an option course on brewing, organized in cooperation with the University of Lorraine (France).  The precise terms for the exchange of course and students between the two institutions are still being negotiated and will be announced as soon as possible.
