The Faculty of Bioengineering offers two interuniversity master’s courses:
- agricultural sciences and bioindustry (SAIV, 120 credits, two years);
- smart rurality (120 credits, two years).
Master’s course in agriculture and bioindustry (120 credits, two years)
This master’s course is for you if you:
- place living systems at the heart of your concerns and want to contribute to the search for sustainable solutions for our society, especially to preserve biodiversity and natural resources;
- want to acquire cutting-edge skills while retaining a versatile profile and a strong capacity for integrated analysis;
- aspire to become an expert capable of diagnosing problems and thinking about new ways of designing, producing, regulating and managing to meet society’s major challenges.
Three specialisations are offered:
- Agricultural, food and environmental policy analysis (AFEPA)
Participation in the AFEPA interuniversity programme can lead to a UCLouvain master’s degree in agriculture and bioindustry, in conjunction with a second master’s degree from a partner university: Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Italy), Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität (Germany), or the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Sweden).
- Soil science (MISSOL)
Participation in the MISSOL interuniversity programme can lead a UCLouvain master’s degree in agriculture and bioindustry, in conjunction with a second master’s degree from a partner university: the University of Antananarivo (Madagascar), the University Nangui Abrogoua in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), or the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (Vietnam).

- Gioinformation science and earth observation for environmental modelling and management (GEM).
Participation in the GEM interuniversity programme can lead to a UCLouvain master’s degree in agriculture and bioindustry, in conjunction with a second master’s degree from a partner university: the University of Twente (The Netherlands), Lund University (Sweden), or the University of Tartu (Estonia).
View enrolment and course information.
These specialisations develop the ability to:
- analyse and diagnose agronomic problems;
- understand processes at various scales and of a multidisciplinary nature;
- manage integrated projects in collaboration with other specialists.
Master’s graduates will be capable of critically mobilising a body of knowledge and know-how relating to the agronomic and economic sciences in order to formulate, analyse and solve multidisciplinary problems.
