Would you like to give an impulse to your professional life? If so, you should check this Google MSc in Bioscience Engineering: Agro and Ecosystems Engineering, organized by KU Leuven, that Emagister.co.uk has added to its catalogue.

This master provides in-depth knowledge of the functioning and management of natural and production-oriented ecosystems. You can choose to focus on either temperate or (sub)tropical settings, or a combination of both. You complement the interdisciplinary core programme with a major specialisation in one out of four different domains: biological production, abiotic and biotic environment, bio-economics, and bio-geo information.

Its programme is divided in four parts: the production major, the environment major, the economics major and the information major. Check further details of the summary in Summary of the syllabus.

Besides, if you want to broaden your horizons there are ample opportunities to conduct part of your master's thesis research at various partner institutions abroad. In addition, European residents can undertake their master's thesis research at a European or other partner university within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme. The Faculty also welcomes initiatives of students who want to do a work placement in a company or organization abroad, as well as exchange programmes with partner universities.

Two optional specialisation packages require one semester to be spent at a partner institution: the Production Forestry package is organised at the University of Temuco (Chile), while the specialisation in Hortology takes you to the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa).
