Mechanical Engineering
The Master of Mechanical Engineering programme from KU Leuven 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.

Bioinformatics
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.

Welding Engineering
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.

Law (Double degree with Zurich)
The law faculties of KU Leuven and the University of Zurich offer a double degree programme focusing on the areas of law in which each faculty has special expertise. The two-year master's programme in Law (Double degree with Zurich) is fully taught in English and consists of one year of study in Leuven and one year in Zurich.

Bioscience Engineering - Agro- and Ecosystems Engineering
This Bioscience Engineering - Agro- and Ecosystems Engineering programme from KU Leuven 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.
