Student Profiles

Alina Jose (MSc Electrical Engineering)

Graduated in 2020

Coming all the way from india to the beating heart of Europe changed my views about education. My passion for Electrical Engineering keeps on growing. Adapting to the new system and culture was a little bit hard in the beginning, but my professors were super supportive. I also enjoy the bustling city life of Brussels with many parties and activities. It’s truly something to behold!“

Giovanny (MSc Electrical Engineering)

I chose to study at VUB because I earned a scholarship in my country. I wanted to study in an international environment, so VUB was the right place for me. I was excited when learning about this English-taught programme. Many examples from the real world are mentioned during the classes. Studying here has been an amazing experience!
