Overview

The  Imaging and Light in Extended Reality - Erasmus Mundus programme from KU Leuven provides a multidisciplinary and innovative approach combining Imaging, Lighting and Information Technology. Students will develop the necessary professional and social skills that will prove useful in both the European and Japanese context. Graduates will have competences in Extended Reality (XR); Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality (AR, MR and VR), industrial environments with robots and complex elements, and finally Imaging, Rendering and Lighting.

IMLEX is a joint master’s programme run by four partners: KU Leuven, Université Jean Monnet Saint Etienne, Université de Montpellier and Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan). Successful completion of the master will result in the award of multiple master degrees (i.e. three (3) national diplomas issued by three (3) higher education institutions from two (2) European countries and Japan) and fully recognised in these respective countries.

Career opportunities

IMLEX graduates will find broad employment opportunities in various sectors including lighting, robotics, imaging and optics.

Upon completion of the programme, you will be well equipped with professional and socials skills and you will be an expert who, in addition to a solid theoretical understanding of virtual reality, also possesses strong practical skills in virtual reality applications. Your engineering profile can lead you to careers across the industry from technological expert to researcher or boardroom executive, performing a wide range of functions.
