During this programme you will learn how to formulate biologically relevant questions, how to design the correct solution and implement it by managing and analysing biological and sequencing data, and how to interpret the obtained results. Bioinformatics is essential to modern molecular biology and biotechnology.

This master’s programme prepares you for assessing the impact of new technologies and solving difficult problems. You learn to analyse, design, and implement analogue and digital electronic systems, information systems and communication systems.

Mechanical design, automation and energy conversion are the cornerstones of this programme. Mechanical design begins with an idea, which is then shaped into a graphical design and executed into a finished product through a choice of materials, simulation, and production techniques. Automation describes a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention and improve the overall efficiency of various engineering processes. Energy conversion comprises all aspects of energy efficiency in this process.

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

The Erasmus Mundus Master of Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM) 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.

Agro- and ecosystems offer a wide range of essential goods and services such as food, water, energy and biodiversity. This programme 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.

This master's degree will make you an integrator capable of translating physiological and psychological knowledge into advanced technological solutions for monitoring and improving human health. You will work in health-related domains (sports, well-being, rehabilitation, prevention, ergonomics, safety, etc.).

The Master of Sustainable Development prepares the sustainability leaders of the future. Students are trained to become agents of change who will imagine, trigger and effectuate a sustainable future.

The Master of Statistics and Data Sciences will help you develop a problem-solving attitude and teach you how to apply statistical methodology. You'll be trained intensively in both the theoretical and practical aspects of statistics and data science.

Explore, understand, and model physical reality using the most advanced mathematical, computational, experimental and observational techniques available. The Master of Physics thoroughly equips students with insight into the current status of physics research. Our physicists go on to rewrite our understanding of not only the natural world but also its interaction with society and industry.

This programme equips you with a command of numerical accuracy and versatility. You will not only be an all-around mathematician, but also a specialist in either pure or applied mathematics, able to analyse complex mathematical problems, design solutions, supervise their realisation, and communicate mathematical concepts to fellow mathematicians and non-specialists alike.

The Master of Geology provides an in-depth training in various fields of geology and develop knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to work in interdisciplinary teams addressing complex geological problems.

On a rapidly changing planet, geography integrates the study of physical and human environments to solve real-world problems at all spatial scales. This master provides the tools to grapple with these problems, including a deeper understanding of geographical problems and methods, knowledge of theoretical debates within the discipline, and practical training in the use of geographical techniques.

Breakthroughs in chemistry can change the texture of our lives. The Master of Chemistry imparts in its students insight into the composition, structure and properties of matter, and the design, synthesis and development of new (bio)molecular materials.

The Master of Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology is an international, interdisciplinary study programme. This programme focuses on the phenomena related to the interaction and communication between living cells and their molecular constituents, drawing on research methods used within the fields of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry and physics.
