This interuniversity programme, jointly offered by the University of Antwerp, Ghent University and KU Leuven, aims to address rapid global urbanization and its impact on the urban living environment. Resource use and waste production are increasing, air and water quality are under pressure, energy demand is changing, climate change effects are intensifying, risks of health problems are increasing, and so on.

The Master’s programme will help you to become a bioscience engineer who can provide (eco)technological and sustainable solutions to various socially relevant challenges. This multidisciplinary programme will provide you with in-depth knowledge of urban environmental challenges from different disciplines and with the right tools to address them.

Programme Structure

The first year consists of four introductory courses that will prepare you for the core of the first year of the master’s programme: the three multidisciplinary projects, called CityLabs: Urban Ecosystem, Urban Resources and Human Health and Urban Liveability.

The second year includes an internship. You may personalise your programme with advanced electives (min. 15 ECTS) and electives of free choice (max. 9 ECTS). A Master’s thesis of 30 ECTS concludes the programme.
