Introduction

KU Leuven Online Open Day KU Leuven is organizing an online open day on Wednesday 1 December 2021 to inform students about its English-language programs. Discover Europe’s most innovative university and learn more about our international programs, admissions, housing, and much more. For more information, visit. What is the program all about? Graduates in Engineering Technology need to be all-rounders who are multi-deployable. Therefore, polyvalent and generic engineering training is crucial. The renewed program offers a solid engineering basis that you can always fall back on. The program offers a broad introduction to mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology. In addition, you will immerse yourself in typical engineering disciplines such as computer science, graphic techniques, and project skills. You will learn to think and act critically. You will also develop skills in the field of management, communication, and teamwork. The bachelor’s program is based on four pillars, which run like a thread throughout the entire program: Engineers and Science – For engineers, technology, and science are inseparable. Gaining scientific knowledge and skills is not a goal in itself, but it is a means when bringing technology into practice. Engineers and Technology – Your technological training starts from day one. You will get to know different technological domains from a versatile, multi-disciplinary point of view. This enables you to make a well-considered choice for a specialization in the 2nd bachelor. Engineers and the World – Engineers do not only work with science and technology, they also work with people. It is important to develop into an engineer who functions smoothly in a diverse and complex society. Engineering Experiences – An engineering experience challenges you to act and think like a real engineer, by working as a team and bringing together all your knowledge, skills, and points of view. The emphasis on these pillars shifts as you complete the bachelor’s program. In the first stage, the focus mainly lies on the basic sciences in Engineering and Science. From the second stage, you will choose a specialization and focus more on a domain-specific technology from your specialization. Finally, in the third stage, you will choose an option within your specialization where you can further explore a specific sub-domain. You will be given many opportunities to put your knowledge into practice, both within the faculty and the business world. You will come into contact with concrete technological problems in all kinds of domains: food, energy, health care, environment ... In every project, you will learn to take into account preconditions such as sustainability, quality, and regulations. This bachelor’s program will give you a good idea of all possible career possibilities and which engineer you want to become.  Strengths From the start of the program, you will put your knowledge into practice in labs. The campus has an extensive and modern lab infrastructure with equipment on an industrial scale. You will also get to know the industry better through company visits and guest lectures from professionals in the field. The master's thesis in the last year is often linked to a company internship at home or abroad. At Group T Leuven Campus, more than 25% of the engineering students are international. This allows you to study in a truly international environment. Collaborating with other foreign students is also a learning experience and adds value to your study program and diploma. Group T Leuven Campus is a breeding ground for ambitious student projects. The first Belgian solar car was built here and in 2019, the eighth Solar Team even became world champion in Australia with their self-built solar-powered racing car. The Faculty of Engineering Technology also has several other student teams who are, among other things, building an electric racing car, developing 3D printers for medical applications, or making Leuven climate neutral in 2030.
