  • Language(s): English
  • Place: Brussels
  • Level of entry: French Baccalaureat + 3

Course Details

Objectives: In cooperation with: Université Libre de Bruxelles: Brussels Faculty of Engineering (in short Bruface)
This master enables students to build a broad ranging scientific knowledge combined with a multidisciplinary engineering training an in-depth specialization in the chosen major: Aeronautics, Energy, Mechatronics-Construction or Vehicle Technology and Transport.
The program trains engineers with scientific and technological efficiency. The program is academic, meaning that it is characterized by close links to scientific research in the related fields as well as the profession.
Students must obtain a scientific balance between thorough, critical knowledge and practical skills, with emphasis on independence, creativity and inventiveness.
The academically educated engineer must be eager to study throughout his/her career in order to be able to assimilate the results of research and learn new skills. He/she must be able to solve problems. In addition, he/she should have both social and language skills.
Specific objectives are to specialize in electromechanical engineering while maintaining a broad-based education by balancing the specialization with more general subjects.
Aeronautics: students will become engineers who are competent in the many aspects of cutting-edge technologies in the aeronautics sector and their spin-off possibilities in other industrial sectors. The programme includes all aspects of construction, exploitation and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft.

Intended for: Students
