Master of Electromechanical Engineering Technology (Leuven)

This master's programme brings students to the advanced level of knowledge and skills that is associated with scientific work in the broad sense, and more particularly to those areas of the engineering sciences that are related to electromechanics. They have the necessary creativity to employ technological and scientific principles for the qualitative design, development and production of devices, machines and their individual parts, as well as for the optimization and automation of industrial processes. They are capable of conducting scientific research, in which they take into account economic conditions, managerial implications and ethical aspects. The students are trained to function in a team and take on responsibility.

Degree holders are able to apply the acquired scientific knowledge autonomously and in a broad social context. They possess the necessary organisational skills to hold executive positions.
