How does VIVES organise this course?
As an exchange student, you will be in direct contact with our international officer, Evert. He will be your guide from your application to your flight home at the end your stay.
An exchange programme is unique for every student that arrives at VIVES. From our list of courses, you pick the ones that correspond best with your interests and/or your programme at your home institution. Once that is settled, we construct a schedule that works for you.
How long does this course take?
Again, this depends on your unique programme. You can stay for an entire year, a semester, or several weeks. Depending on the credits your home institution allows you to take up, we will work out a programme that matches that requirement.
Can I go on an internship?
An internship is definitely amongst the possibilities during your exchange. Belgium – and West Flanders, where VIVES is located, even more so – is a world player in the technological field. If you have enough credits to add in an internship, we highly recommend you to do so. We have dozens of partnerships with top-notch construction firms and can help you get in touch with them.
