Bio and biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary specialisation that serves as a bridge between engineering, biology and medicine. Biomedical engineering studies ways to improve the diagnostics, therapy, care, rehabilitation and life quality by researching and developing therapeutic devices, equipment, implants, medical imaging devices as well as pharmaceuticals.

The programme therefore includes both specific training in biomedical engineering, organised in conjunction with the Faculties of Science and of Medicine, as well as technical training delivered by the other Applied Sciences programmes.
The role of technology in contemporary medicine has evolved considerably over the past decades. Computers and other high-tech devices are essential in hospitals, rehabilitation centres and private medical practices. The Biomedical Engineering program is delivered by KU Leuven.
This Master’s degree programme produces engineers capable of using a large set of skills (analytical, modelling, design and inventiveness) in order to face future technological challenges in the scientific and technical fields linked to biomedical engineering and this in ever evolving European and global contexts.
The study program contains 120 credits, spread over 4 semesters of 12 weeks each. The specific biomedical part of the Master program consists of 6 basic courses, accounting for a total of 30 credits and 42 credits specialized courses. The program is further complemented with a masters thesis (24 credits) in the second master and optional courses (also 24 credits in total) spread over the 2 master years.
Beyond foundational courses in human cell biology and physiology, the Biomedical Engineering programme at KU Leuven also provides cutting-edge offerings in musculoskeletal biomechanics, biofluid biomechanics, biomedical measurements and stimulation, biomedical data processing and medical imaging and analysis.
Do you already have a bachelor’s degree in (bio)engineering and do you want to tackle the complex problems that arise at the boundary of biology, medicine and the health sciences? Then the master’s in Biomedical Engineering is the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) programme you’re looking for!
