57 Natural Sciences Degree Programs in Belgium

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.

The Master of Physics, with a strong focus on Nanophysics, is unique for its focus on the fundamental physics of the exciting phenomena in nanosystems. The programme focuses on modern theoretical models and computational techniques, electron microscopy and spectroscopy for the characterisation of nanostructures and practical computational and experimental experience.

The Master of Biomedical Sciences focuses on state-of-the-art methodology, knowledge, insight and academic skills, enabling graduates to unravel the molecular mechanisms of health and disease as independent researchers. The programme provides students with the knowledge and skills required for the proper design of a scientific research project.

The Master of Biomedical Sciences: Neurosciences at the University of Antwerp covers the research field from neurogenomics up to behaviour and in vivo brain imaging in both animals and humans.

Do you dream of standing on the frontline of the ongoing battle for better understanding of human health and diseases, leading to better prevention and treatment options? The Master of Biomedical Sciences at KU Leuven 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.

This two-year Erasmus Mundus programme provides a multidisciplinary and innovative programme covering the interactions between Radiation and Micro-Electronics and Photonics, two Key Enabling Technologies for the future of Europe.

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.

This programme is a joint effort by KULeuven and UCLouvain, aiming to attract candidates from diverse academic backgrounds such as pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences, medicine, statistics, and more.

This joint program combines the expertise of three Belgian universities on aquatic systems. It not only offers you an insight into the complexity of life and processes in marine environments and lakes. But it also comprises management, policy, commercial aspects of aquatic ecosystems, and law. This combination of disciplines makes it a unique program in Europe.

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.

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.

The Master of Nanoscience examines phenomena on the atomic and molecular scales, where the structure of matter determines important electrical, optical and mechanical properties. A multidisciplinary scientific education integrating physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, material sciences and bioscience engineering empowers students to create new nanocomponents, systems and products.

Molecular biology 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.
