At the beginning it was very hard to communicate in french, but it was getting better every day at university. The problem was that the most we - the Erasmus people - spoke English, because some did't understand french.

“One of the best yeras of my life”

Jeanne M

Belgium,
Translation/Interpretation, 2024

Overall

Courses are great in general, although some are not useful

Careers

The faculty of translation and interpretation offers internship opportunities and also international internships, but they don't help us find one, we have to be fully independent. They provide career advice. I found my internship on the Internet.

Pros

You have access to healthcare (e.g. doctor, psychologist) almost for free

Cons
