Internationalisation Abroad

A work placement can be programmed into the curriculum either as an elective or as a mandatory course unit. The modalities mainly stay the same, although there are a number of additional points to consider in case of a work placement abroad. Among other things, the minimum duration has to be respected for the student to be eligible for funding.

How?

An international work placement takes place at a relevant organisation (a company, an education or research institution, ...) abroad. This type of work placement creates opportunities to hone one's professional skills in an intercultural/international context, and has a positive influence on the student's personal and professional development. In other linguistic contexts, there is the added value of strengthening one's foreign language skills.
