Programme management

AGRO Faculté d'ingénierie biologique, agronomique et environnementale

Responsable académique : Jacques Mahillon

Coordinators : 1st year : Pierre Bertin; 2nd year: Patrick Gérin; 3rd year : J. Mahillon

Study objectives

The two year "candidature" programme (1st cycle of university studies) and the third year (BIR21), currently the first year of the second cycle of studies, constitute a coherent whole, equivalent to the bachelor's programme in terms of the European harmonisation directives for higher university studies in the Bologne Declaration. Altogether, this three year course, with the solid subject knowledge and basic skills it provides, paves the way for the "master' level, not only in the Faculty of Biological, Agronomic and Environmental Engineering, but also in other university faculties, both in Belgium and abroad.

During the third year of the course, the student will choose one of the three proposed options : Agronomy (BIR A), Chemistry, (BIR C) or Environment (BIR E). Half of the programme is composed of courses common to the three orientations.The other half offers courses which are specific to each of them. Furthermore, a volume of 2 to 5 credits is reserved for options.

After the three first years, an entirely renovated programme has been in operation since 2004-05 for the 4th year, and since 2005-06 for the 5th year. This ensures the continuity of the programme of the first three years. Its structure and content are set in the spirit of the European harmonisation directives for higher study cursus included in the Bologne declaration.

On the level of the Bio-engineering "licence"studies, the student will choose one of the three options offered for the two final years of his programme. These three options are : "Agronomic Sciences", "Chemistry and Bio-industries" and " Environmental Sciences and Technologies". The polyvalent nature of the course continues to be assured by a certain number of core courses within each of the orientations, but the student also gets training in a specialised subject. He can, in fact, choose from five specialisations of which some are organised jointly in the context of two or three different options. Lastly, a large volume of optional subjects add a real personal touch to his training programme.

Admission conditions

The programe is accessible to holders of a "candidat" diploma in bioengineering or a university title obtained in Belgium or abroad, judged to be equivalent and by means of some minor adaptations to the programme if necessary.

In addition, the special exams called "passerelles" in French, described below, are organised for diploma holders in non-university higher education.

The following diploma holders :

  • "candidat" in industrial engineering
  • "gradué" (non-university) higher education diploma in the agricultural category : agronomy and garden and landscape architecture
  • "gradué" (non-university) higher education diploma in the paramedical sector : medical biology cection, dietetics, clinical laboratory and clinical chemistry analyses
  • "gradué" (non-university) higher education diploma in the AESI category : normal and secondary sections, general secondary (natural sciences, sciences and geography)
  • "gradué" (non-university) higher education diploma in the technical category : chemistry and biochemistry (biotechnology)

are entitled ccess to the 2nd study cycle of the Faculty of Biological, Agronomic and Environmental Engineering, subject to the passing of a prior preparatory year. The programme of this year, in principal, will be identical to that of the second year of the bachelor programme in bio-engineering, subject to possible minor adaptations depending on the type of course followed.

Diploma holders in :

  • industrial engineering of the agricultural category : agriculture section
  • industrial engineering of the technical category : chemistry (biochemistry) and textile section

have direct access to the second cycle of studies in the Faculty of Biological, Agronomic and Environmental Engineering.

These students will be able to benefit from an adapted programme depending on their former studies and the orientation followed at UCL (three options).

The programme may comprise a maximum of 150 hours of complementary courses from the 1st and 2nd years of the bachelor programme and, in addition, certain courses from the 2nd cycle may enable the student to benefit from dispensations.

Admission procedure

Applications for equivalence of diplomas and requests relating to the specific exams called " passerelles" and non-university higher education diplomas should be addressed to the Academic Secretary of the Faculty of Biological, Agronomic and Environmental Engineering. The application will include, besides a copy of the diplomas obtained, a detailed description of the programme previously followed (course titles, timetable volumes, a brief description of the contents and the results obtained).

General structure of the programme

The programme comprises three years of studies. In 2005-06, the implementation of the general reform for the bioengineering programmes is effective for the three years of the second cycle.

The range of the different activities outlined in the programme is expressed in two ways : for each course, corresponding, on the one hand to timetable volumes of supervised course work/attendance and, on the other hand to credits ( ECTS European

system : European credit transfer system). In accordance with this concept, one year of a student's work is divided into 60 credits, all course attendance and work included. The credits are absolute values. They may, however, take a relative value from one programme to another.

The students of the 2nd study cycle have the possibility to follow an interdisciplinary module entitled : "Company Creation". This complementary programme is integrated into the basic programmes of the 2nd cycle in bioengineering, Law, Civil Engineering and Management Engineering. The objective of these interdisciplinary studies is to provide the potential student-creaters with the analytical and reflection tools that will help thep to create their own company.
