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.

Civil Engineering Technology
Built on a solid foundation in structural design and structural innovation, this Civil Engineering Technology programm from KU Leuven will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to become a civil engineer. You will be able to translate a project from concept to realisation, structural design that meets the relevant criteria of strength, serviceability, energy efficiency etc.

Mobility and Supply Chain Engineering
Engineers keep our society mobile and our supply chains vital. Our society demands engineers who are ambitious, creative, analytical and open-minded: those who fully understand the many technological possibilities to make mobility and supply chains cleaner, safer, more reliable, and more efficient than ever before.

Biomedical Sciences
Do you dream of being on the frontline of the battle for better understanding of human health and diseases, leading to better prevention and treatment options? The Master will truly immerse you in scientific biomedical research. By doing scientific research in a domestic or foreign laboratory you will gain thorough know-how, strengthen your scientific skills and learn the newest scientific methods

Cultural Studies
Culture is expressed in many different forms – ranging from dance, literature, photography, to material and (im)material heritage – and is transmitted through different media, from live to digital. The Cultural Studies program from KU Leuven combines theoretical reflection and a more hands-on approach via an internship in the cultural sector.

Society, Law and Religion
The Master of Society, Law and Religion is designed to provide students with an advanced understanding of crime, public response to crime and, specifically, criminal justice in Europe and beyond. The programme focuses recent developments in criminological theory and their implications for national and international policy-making.

Innovative Health Technology
Today, there is a growing, global industry developing novel technologies to further advance modern health care. This advanced master’s Innovative Health Technology programme from KU Leuven enables students to specialise in this domain, as they learn to design, develop and implement technological solutions for the healthcare sector.
Molecular Biology
Molecular biology from KU Leuven is the discipline within the life sciences aimed at understanding the molecular basis of life in health and disease. It is a multidisciplinary area of study and deals with the structure and function of molecules as well as their interplay in creating the phenomenon of life.
Pharmacometrics
This Pharmacometrics programme is a joint effort by KU Leuven and UCLouvain, aiming to attract candidates from diverse academic backgrounds such as pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences, medicine, statistics, and more.

Communication Sciences - Digital Media and Society
From virtual worlds, social media and the use of AI technology to online gaming – digital media re-shape society in various domains and inform the way individual people live, think and act. The international Master of Communication Sciences: Digital Media and Society provides a one-year master programme in which you will study the nature, effect and meaning of digital media.

Criminology
The Master of Criminology is designed to provide students with an advanced understanding of crime, public response to crime and, specifically, criminal justice in Europe and beyond. The programme focuses recent developments in criminological theory and their implications for national and international policy-making.
Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling
The Erasmus Mundus Master in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling programme from KU Leuven is a joint initiative of seven European universities, including KU Leuven and coordinated by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, that trains students to master a wide range of theoretical and computational tools on the forefront of research in molecular science.

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
