The International Master of Science in Textile Engineering is a 2-year master programme educating the next generation of textile engineers. The first semester you will study at Ghent University in Belgium, the second semester at the Polytechnical University of Valencia in Spain (for the academic year 2022-2023), the third semester you can choose between the University of Borås in Sweden or the Kyoto Institute of Technology in Japan. During the fourth semester, you do a thesis at one of the partner universities. So you will study in Europe (and Japan). The professors teaching you come from all over the world.

The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering 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. The result is the rational exploitation of resources and energy while respecting environmental and safety issues during all phases of research, development and operation.

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

The Master of Mechanical Engineering programme integrates almost all disciplines of technology. Any device or product used in modern, everyday life is the result of an ongoing synergy between different basic techniques bringing together different technical disciplines. Mechanical engineering is the integrator of choice to realise this objective, and is a catalyst for innovation in related domains.

The Master of Materials Engineering recognizes that materials change the world. Each engineering design needs to be ‘materialised’: smart phones, implants, solar cells, aircrafts, cars, bridges, all of it. Materials are at the heart of our quality of life and economic welfare, and that will increasingly be the case in the future, with an increased need to use resources wisely and contribute to a sustainable world.

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.

The Master of Mathematical Engineering 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. Mathematics is of critical importance to the future of these industries amid higher demands from customers and the environment.

The Master of Science in Management Engineering is designed for academic bachelor graduates with a strong quantitative and technical/scientific background. The programme offers an advanced quantitative and science-based training in business economics and the various management subfields, with the aim of providing in-depth and interdisciplinary insight into how businesses operate.

The Master in Safety Engineering will prepare you to improve and realise safety in many different areas. The programme trains you in prevention policy and safety management systems, the safety of products, processes, and installations, qualitative risk analysis techniques, and fire and explosion safety. You'll obtain detailed knowledge of technical and managerial process safety concepts with regard to the whole life cycle of a production plant, and risk evaluations based on qualitative and quantitative methods.

Do you want to become a master innovator, create breakthroughs in scientific and technological research, or become a leader in the decision-making process? Are you interested in shaping a sustainable world; in planning, designing, or constructing the built and natural environment, and changing the lives of millions of people for the better? Then our program, in the multicultural capital of Europe, is perfect for you!

The International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering (IMETE) program addresses these needs by educating a new generation of environmental scientists and engineers that can provide adequate and state-of-the-art environmental technology and engineering solutions to tackle complex, multidisciplinary environmental issues.

Combine scientific and technical education with newly developed skills. Highly qualified staff awaits you as the programme is jointly organised by the two largest educational institutions of engineering in Brussels. This cooperation allows you to use the adjacent infrastructures of both institutions. And gives you the opportunity to study in a multicultural context. Come to Brussels, the beating heart of Europe, and help build the future.

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.

Experience a multidisciplinary engineering training with an in-depth specialisation. We offer four majors: Aeronautics | Energy | Robotics and Mechanical Construction | Sustainable Transport and Automotive Engineering. Highly qualified staff awaits you as the program is jointly organised by the two largest educational institutions of engineering in Brussels. There’s no better place than this internationally oriented city to kick start your career.
