Professional Focus [30.0]
The specialised focus in biomedical engineering provides a range of courses covering major areas of biomedical engineering, from bioinformatics and biomechanics to imaging. It thus represents the “generalist” aspect of the training.
Due to the significant number of hours dedicated to this focus, students can nonetheless expect to achieve a thorough level of expertise in each of the relevant disciplines.

Options
In the section “Options and elective courses in biomedical civil engineering”, students must choose at least one of the 5 options. They may take more than one.
In the section "Options and elective courses in socio-economic knowledge", students either successfully complete one of the two options or choose a minimum of 6 credits from the courses in the option in business issues (maximum one innovation class may be chosen, maximum one course among those offered by the CPs may be taken into account in these 6 credits).
Students will complete their programme by selecting courses from the biomedical engineering options and the list of electives.-

Major in Interdisciplinary Program in Entrepreneurship - INEO
The aim of this option, which is common to most EPL masters' programmes, is to familiarise students with the specifics of entrepreneurship and business creation, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and tools necessary for starting a business.
The interdisciplinary entrepreneurship training (INEO) is an option that spans two years and is integrated into over 30 Master's programmes across 9 faculties/schools at UCLouvain.
Choosing the INEO option requires completing an interfaculty dissertation (in teams) focused on a business creation project. Access to this option, as well as to each of its courses, is limited to students selected based on their application.
Full details are available at https://uclouvain.be/fr/etudier/ineo.
Students who choose this option must select a minimum of 20 credits and a maximum of 25 credits. This option is not available in English and cannot be taken simultaneously with the "Business Risks and Opportunity" option.
