17 Master's degrees in Bio & Biomedical Engineering in Belgium

Technology in contemporary medicine has evolved to where computers and other high-tech devices are essential in hospitals, rehabilitation centres and private medical practices. The Master in Biomedical Engineering was created to respond to the increased technological needs in healthcare and to provide more and better care with less people and to obtain cost-effectiveness in our healthcare systems.

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

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.

You are trained in fundamental biotechnology that will give you in-depth knowledge in areas as  molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, nanobiology, physiologiy and immunology and its diverse applications. You also learn to place biotechnology in a social, economic and industrial context and to lead a social debate on biotechnology and genetic modification and their applications. 

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

This Biomedical Engineering MSc program from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) connects understanding body functions to finding solutions between fast-moving health technology and common health problems.

The Biomedical Engineering degree from UCLouvain trains engineers capable of applying their skills in analysis, modelling, design and creativity to tackle future technological challenges in the scientific and technical fields related to biomedical engineering, within a rapidly evolving European and global context.

A master in Biomedical Sciences at Ghent University has the expertise to contribute to translational research regarding current biomedical problems on a international academic level. You will have the know-how to develop, in a critical and creative manner, new insights regarding human health (you will bridge the gap between ‘pure’ sciences and the medical-clinical practice).

Increasing urbanisation poses many environmental challenges: use of resources, production of waste, quality of air and water, energy demand, effects of climate change, health problems, and so on. The complexity of these urban environmental problems is substantial. In order to tackle them, we need expertise from different disciplines, with a focus on sustainability and (eco)technological innovation

The Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Engineering programme from Ghent University integrates in one interdisciplinary English taught program the pharmaceutical and engineering knowledge about the development of innovative and science-based pharmaceutical production technologies, production methods and solutions for small and large drug molecules and products (of the future).

This is the standard English taught program in Biomedical Engineering, open to local and international students, where students follow courses at Ghent University and VUB. 

Do you want to discover how digital twins can help to better understand the physiology of the human body as well as to cure its pathologies? Biomedical Engineering, Professional Focus from University of Liège is for you!

The master degree in Bioinformatics - Systems Biology at Ghent University gives you the optimal background to become a bioinformatics engineer.

Depending on your educational background, some students wishing to enrol in the Master of Biochemical Engineering Technology must also follow a preparatory programme. Biochemical Engineering Technology from KU Leuven provides the knowledge base necessary for success in the master's programme itself.

The general objective of the Master's program of Science in Bioinformatics - Bioscience Engineering at Ghent University is gaining a better and preferentially more quantitative molecular understanding of cellular processes by integrating and modeling high throughput molecular data.

Ghent University's Bioinformatics - Engineering aims at gaining a better and preferentially more quantitative molecular understanding of cellular processes by integrating and modeling large amounts of molecular data.

Bioscience Engineering - Sustainable Urban Bioscience Engineering from Ghent University through a multidisciplinary approach students will gain in-depth knowledge, skills and attitudes to tackle complex urban environmental issues by offering sustainable and (eco)technological solutions.
