Master of Bioscience Engineering: Sustainable Urban Bioscience Engineering

The University of Antwerp, Ghent University and KU Leuven have combined their expertise to offer you this unique Master’s programme. Through a multidisciplinary approach you will gain in-depth knowledge, skills and attitudes to tackle complex urban environmental issues by offering sustainable and (eco)technological solutions.
The Master of Bioscience Engineering: Sustainable Urban Bioscience Engineering aims to address rapid global urbanisation 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 qualify you to become a bioscience engineer who can provide (eco)technological and sustainable solutions to these various societally relevant challenges. The programme will provide you with in-depth knowledge of urban environmental challenges from different disciplines and of the right tools to address them. Key in the Master’s programme are the multidisciplinary CityLabs in the first year of the curriculum. Each CityLab is coordinated by a different university and focusses on a particular urban environmental challenge.
