My Master’s programme at the University of Namur provided me with high-quality scientific training, a rich multicultural environment, and memorable encounters, combining academic rigour, cultural openness, and personal fulfilment.
My year at La Cambre enabled me to consolidate my practice around the book while discovering new sensitive, collective and theoretical perspectives that have fed deeply into my artistic approach.

What did they enjoy most about studying in French-speaking Belgium?
Studying in Belgium at ULB was an enriching and stimulating experience! I learnt a lot about Belgian culture, including several French expressions that aren't used in Quebec. Haha! I loved the cosmopolitan side of Brussels.
Exploring Belgian academic excellence through Erasmus has been a transformative experience.
Studying in Belgium was very enriching. I honed my engineering skills, improved my French, and learned about diverse cultures. The warmth of the people and the vibrant community made it a great experience, broadening my academic and professional horizons.
Belgium has a lot to offer, is a country full with technology, warm people and a lot of history. I learned new techniques about biological sciences and truly gave me an impulse to keep growing in my professional career.
