Introduction

KU Leuven Online Open Day KU Leuven is organizing an online open day on Wednesday 1 December 2021 to inform students about its English-language programs. Discover Europe’s most innovative university and learn more about our international programs, admissions, housing, and much more. For more information, visit. HHE offers a unique program and educational vision focusing on technology for healthy humans. While many programs in biomedical technology are offered in Belgium and abroad, HHE is the first and only program offered in English that applies the unique combination of human physiology and engineering in a broad range of areas for healthy humans. Strengths The education program is unique in Flanders and Europe with its focus on the application of process and system thinking as transferable skills for applications in human health engineering.  The program follows a system-oriented, quantitative approach to measure, model, and control biosystems aimed at the development of technology for human health from a biological knowledge perspective. It focuses on the integration of knowledge in biology and engineering and for real-life applications. Students learn to cope with the complexity inherent to biological systems from a conceptual, scientific point of view.  The program does not only focus on theoretical courses but also on ‘learning by doing. In the project work Biosystems Engineering, for example, a company setting is simulated where the students collaborate as a team to develop a technological product. In this way, they not only obtain technical competencies, but also professional skills like project management, business communication, and the elaboration of a business plan.  Furthermore, students get in contact with the industry through seminars, company visits, internships, and master theses in collaboration with companies. The wide national and international network of the teaching staff and their extensive collaboration with the industry are important assets for this. Please consult our website for recent information on this program.
