The programme consists of a common core covering approximately half of the credits and a master’s thesis responsible for about a quarter of the credits. The programme is to be supplemented with electives subdivided in three domains: data science electives, software engineering electives, and management electives, until 60 credits are reached. These electives enable you to either explore specific areas in greater depth or gain a broader understanding through a multidisciplinary approach. In completing your master’s thesis, you can apply the acquired skills within a specific business context.

What sets us apart as a university?

KU Leuven is among the best 100 universities in the world according to both Times Higher Education World Rankings and QS World University Rankings. All of KU Leuven’s disciplines proudly belong to the top 100 of their field. Furthermore, KU Leuven was ranked by Reuters as the most innovative university in Europe in 2016.

Research-based education

Education at KU Leuven is research-based, which means students will learn from the same professors who are performing the ground-breaking research you read about in the press. New insights are instantly integrated into classes and students are encouraged to perform their research. In our FabLab, students can use several high-tech machines to create whatever they want – all free of charge.

Affordable tuition fees

Higher education is highly valued in Belgium and therefore subsidised by the government. This allows KU Leuven to keep tuition fees relatively low, which gives you a price/quality ratio very few top-100 universities can match. We take pride in keeping our programs as accessible as possible to allow the brightest students from around the globe to join our courses.
