36 Master's degrees offered by the university

Bioscience Engineering - Cellular and Genetic Engineering
You are trained in fundamental biotechnology that will give you in-depth knowledge in areas as molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, nanobiology, physiologiy and immunology and its diverse applications. You also learn to place biotechnology in a social, economic and industrial context and to lead a social debate on biotechnology and genetic modification and their applications.

Electrical Engineering
The Master of Electrical Engineering programme from KU Leuven is a comprehensive course of study providing graduate students with the foundational knowledge needed to pioneer the next generation of networked, integrated systems.

Materials Engineering
The Master of Materials Engineering from KU Leuven recognizes that materials change the world. Each engineering design needs to be ‘materialised’: smart phones, implants, solar cells, aircrafts, cars, bridges, all of it.
Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Imaging and Light in Extended Reality
This two-year Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Imaging and Light in Extended Reality programme from KU Leuven combining Imaging, Lighting and Information Technology, aims to educate students in advanced technologies, methodologies and practical applications so that they can meet the growing demands of industry and society.

Water Resources Engineering
KU Leuven's Water Resources Engineering programme addresses water-related issues in both the global South and the global North. This programme takes two years to complete. However there is also an abridged version of the programme that takes one year to complete.

Bioscience Engineering - Agro- and Ecosystems Engineering
This Bioscience Engineering - Agro- and Ecosystems Engineering programme from KU Leuven is dedicated to train the next generation of experts in the sustainable management and functioning of natural and agro-ecosystems, not only from a biophysical perspective but also from a wider socio-economic perspective.

Biomedical Engineering
Technology in contemporary medicine has evolved to where computers and other high-tech devices are essential in hospitals, rehabilitation centres and private medical practices. The Master in Biomedical Engineering was created to respond to the increased technological needs in healthcare and to provide more and better care with less people and to obtain cost-effectiveness in our healthcare systems.

Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering
The Master of Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering from KU Leuven examines phenomena on the atomic and molecular scales, where the structure of matter determines important electrical, optical and mechanical properties.
EIT KIC Dual Degree Tracks in Sustainable Materials Engineering
This EIT KIC Dual Degree Tracks in Sustainable Materials Engineering MSc programme from KU Leuven stimulates innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership and focus on circular (eco)design.
European Master of Sustainable Food Systems Engineering, Technology and Business
This two-year European Master of Sustainable Food Systems Engineering, Technology and Business program from KU Leuven promotes a transversal and multidisciplinary approach to a broad range of topics related to the 4S-pillars: Science, Sustainability, Safety and Simulation.

Welding Engineering
Due to the increasing complexity of industrial production processes of welding technology and the growing number of rules and regulations governing them, there is an increasing demand for trained welding engineers. The Advanced Master of Science in Welding Engineering covers all relative areas and prepares the student with experience and solid skills.

European Master in Radiation and its Effects on Microelectronics and Photonics Technologies
This two-year European Master in Radiation and its Effects on Microelectronics and Photonics Technologies programme from KU Leuven provides a multidisciplinary and innovative programme covering the interactions between Radiation and MicroElectronics and Photonics, two Key Enabling Technologies for the future of Europe.

Chemical Engineering
The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering from KU Leuven is more than just chemistry: it is the application of chemical engineering principles to the development of technical products and to the design, control, and improvement of industrial processes.

Biochemical Engineering Technology
This master’s programme provides in-depth, interdisciplinary training in biochemical engineering as practiced in various contexts and sectors. Particular areas of focus include food science, biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, and environmental sciences. In addition to (bio)chemical and scientific coursework, the curriculum includes assignments in socio-economics and biotechnology.

Chemical Engineering Technology
This master’s Chemical Engineering Technology programme from KU Leuven provides in-depth, interdisciplinary training in chemical engineering as practised in various contexts and sectors. The programme’s main focus is learning to design, execute, test and improve industrial processes in a chemically and technologically responsible way.

Mathematical Engineering
The Master of Mathematical Engineering from KU Leuven reveals the hidden technology behind nearly all aspects of modern life. Applications which otherwise have little in common, from financial products to medical scanners to wind farms, all process large amounts of data or are based on complex models.
