The Master’s degree in biomedical engineering aims to train engineers who will be able to meet future technological  challenges in the scientific and technical fields relating to biomedical engineering, within an ever-changing European and global context.
Upon graduating, students will have acquired the basics of all the main fields of biomedical engineering :  bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, medical imaging, mathematical modelling, artificial organs and rehabilitation, bioinformatics and biomechanics. They will have been given advanced training in one or two of the proposed options.
Thanks to the important amount of time given over to elective courses, students can choose to become anything between « general practitioner » or « specialist » in any given field.
Thanks also to the collaboration between the Louvain School of Engineering and the Medical school, students are assured of an interdisciplinary training, where the art of engineering is applied to the complex and varied biomedical field.

The Master’s curriculum in biomedical engineering will consist of at least 120 credits covering two years, with a minimum of 60 credits per year, and comprising :
- a core curriculum (30 credits)
- a specialization curriculum (30 credits)
- one or more options chosen amongst the suggested options
- elective courses.
The final thesis is generally written during the last year. However, depending on their specific training objectives, students may choose to take any given course in the first or second year, subject to possible prerequisites. This will be the case in particular for students pursuing part of their education abroad.
If, in the course of his (her) former curriculum, a student has already been credited with a subject included in the compulsory core curriculum, or any training deemed equivalent, this subject will be replaced by elective courses, while conforming to imposed constraints. The student is responsible for checking whether the minimum total number of credits has been reached, as well as those of the specialized field, which will appear on the final diploma.
The student’s curriculum will be submitted for acceptance by the relevant program committee.

Accessible complementary Master’s degrees: currently under examination.
Accessible PhD curricula : by virtue of its training towards and via research, the Master’s in biomedical engineering gives its students an excellent preparation towards PhD studies. Instructors involved in the Master’s are members of various doctoral schools, which are there to welcome students who wish to further their studies via a PhD.

. Features favouring interdisciplinarity :
The Master’s in biomedical engineering is intrinsically interdisciplinary, since it is located at the interface between engineering and medical sciences. It features a comprehensive base allowing the student to acquire the basics of the main application fields of biomedical engineering, as well as a variety of options in various disciplines.

. Variety of teaching situations :
The pedagogy implemented in the engineering Master’s curriculum is aligned with that of the engineering Bachelor’s curriculum: active learning, a balanced mix of group and individual work, and substantial time devoted to the development of non-technical competencies. A salient feature of the curriculum is the immersion of students in the research laboratories of the various instructors (during teaching laboratory sessions, case studies, projects and final thesis), which allows them to become familiar with up-to-date  methods in the related fields, and to learn through the questioning approach which is inherent to research.  
The final project amounts to half the workload of the final year. It offers the opportunity of in-depth analysis of a given topic and, through its sheer size and context, provides a true introduction to the professional life of an engineer or researcher.

. Variety of learning situations :
The student will encounter a variety of pedagogical tools tailored to the various disciplines : formal lectures, individual projects in small groups, tutorials, project-based learning, case studies, experimental laboratory work, computer simulations, teachware, industrial or research training, visits to industries, individual and group work, seminars given by outside scientists, etc.
This variety of situations will help students to build their knowledge in an iterative and progressive manner, while developing their autonomy, organizational skills, time management, and capacity to use various modes of communication, etc.
Learning is acquired via a variety of pedagogical tools, such a training periods, case studies, lectures, project work, and contact with cutting-edge research. This variety of situations will help students to build their knowledge in an iterative and progressive manner.
The option in Company launching follows an interactive approach implementing "problem-based" learning. Throughout the curriculum, students must engage in group work based on multidisciplinary teams. The final project is also designed to be interdisciplinary so as to allow groups of three students, ideally from different faculties, to work on a company launching project.

All learning activities are assessed as prescribed by the University internal regulations (see exam regulations), viz. written and oral exams, laboratory exams, individual or group work, public presentation of projects and final thesis.

Global framework

The Louvain School of Engineering (LSE) has taken part, since their inception, in all the various mobility programmes which have been set up at both the European and world levels.

The numerous contacts it has with professional circles, notably via its Advisory Board, have demonstrated  to what extent employers are favourably impressed by a mobility experience in someone’s CV. The ever-increasing internationalization of research via networks linking laboratories throughout the world, speaks in favour of encouraging this mobility.

Students’ interest is aroused at the end of their Bachelor studies, notably via intensive courses such as those of the ATHENS or BEST networks.
In the course of the two-year Master’s programme, students are encouraged to take part in a 1- or 2-semester exchange scheme

Within Belgium, the LSE is involved in a privileged partnership with the Faculteit Ingenieurswetenschappen of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, with whom it has set up an exchange scheme relating to the first year of the Master’s curriculum.

At the European level, the LSE is strongly involved in the CLUSTER excellence network. This network encourages internal mobility, since this is a guarantee of quality as concerns both the level of teaching and the hosting of exchange students. Moreover, Cluster partners have signed an agreement recognizing each other’s Bachelor’s curricula. This agreement stipulates that all Bachelors of network institutions will have access to the Master’s studies in any institution on a par with local students.

Outside Europe, the LSE is a partner in the Magalhaes network, which groups about fifteen European universities together with the best South American science and technology universities.

Besides these network partnerships, the Faculty has also signed a number of individual agreements with various universities in Europe, North America or elsewhere in the world. A list of these agreements may be found on the website of UCL International Relations.

UCL is also a partner in the TIME programme which gives students the opportunity to obtain two engineering degrees, via a specifically tailored curriculum.

International possibilities (for UCL students)
Besides intensive courses which are one component of international relations, LSE students with outstanding results are encouraged to apply for 5- or 10-month exchange programmes.
When taking place during the first Master’s year, exchanges are generally 10 months long. In the second year, they only last for a semester, either as courses or else research in a foreign laboratory as a complement to the final thesis.
Some other more specific exchange programmes have been set up with South America, where the academic year is naturally on an “austral” basis.
Students are informed about the various exchange programmes as from their second Bachelor’s year. They are encouraged to prepare for their exchange in a timely manner, notably by taking language courses at the Modern Languages Institute of UCL.

Partner programmes
TIME programme with :
- Ecole Centrale Paris
- Supaero Toulouse
- Universidad Politecnica de Madrid
- Politecnico di Milano
- Politecnico di Torino
-The LSE has also signed a specific convention with the Institut Français du Pétrole which allows the possibility of combining the second Master’s year with the first year of the complementary  programme at IFP.
