PHOTCAST EP4 (360°) - Feeling at Home & Making Friends - Master of Science in Photonics Engineering by masterphotonics

PHOTCAST is a podcast from students, with students, for students. We discuss every aspect of photonics & engineering, studying photonics in Belgium, student life and future job perspectives.

For the fourth episode, PhD researcher and MSPE alumnus Mehdi Arash Feizpour invited current student Aladdin Al Haffar, Erasmus student Maria Josef Lopera Acosta and PhD researcher Alejandro Madrid Sanchez to our photonics library. They discuss the master programme, feeling welcome in Belgium and photonics research in the research group.
