Electromechanics sets the world in motion. In this programme, you will learn to realise and control movements in machines and devices. During lectures and labs, you will learn about the state of the art in the field of hydraulic drives and servomotors, and also how to devise a creative concept and develop it into a usable design in accordance with current standards using powerful calculation software. You can specialise in one of the following options:

Option Mechatronics - This option relates to designing, developing, and optimising automated mechanical machines. Supported by a strong background in electricity and mechanics, you dive more deeply into aspects such as advanced design methods, electronic operations, controls, measures and drives, data communication, and visualisation methods.

Option Management - This option provides a broad introduction into contemporary management theory and practice. You define and compare key aspects, basic concepts and approaches in management and strategy and are able to analyse and interpret the complexity of managing an enterprise/organisation.

Besides the specialisation option, you also have a unique opportunity to complement your programme with a dedicated focus. Within each focus you are getting acquainted with state-of-the-art technologies, methodologies and applications in a specific research area, making use of the renowned expertise of the different research groups over the different campuses of the Faculty of Engineering Technology. The following focuses are offered:

Mechanical design, automation and energy conversion are the cornerstones of this programme. Mechanical design begins with an idea, which is then shaped into a graphical design and executed into a finished product through a choice of materials, simulation, and production techniques. Automation describes a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention and improve the overall efficiency of various engineering processes. Energy conversion comprises all aspects of energy efficiency in this process.

How to Apply

The admission policy is intended to ensure equal opportunity of access to higher education for qualified European and third-country students. There are three ways to be admitted to the program:

Direct admission, based on a relevant degree obtained in the Flemish Community. You can check the list of relevant programs here

After a preparatory program, which is meant for students who obtained a degree at an institution of the Flemish Community that does not give immediate access to this program. You can check the list of programs that require a preparatory or bridging program here

After an admission process, which is meant for students who obtained a degree outside the Flemish Community

All applications from students who have obtained a degree outside the Flemish Community are evaluated by both the KU Leuven Admissions Office and the relevant master’s program director. Final admission decisions will be made at the discretion of the Faculty.
